On a Mekong Delta bike tour with Vietnam Cycling Tours, you will never be disappointed. The trip has a well-planned and flexible itinerary made just for you. Some ferry crossings over the river branches may not be very fun, but they are a great way to see and experience the real life of local people. You can enjoy the sights, smells, and daily life of the countryside as you travel from Cai Be to An Binh, Vinh Long, and Can Tho.

Be met at your hotel in Saigon at 7:30 am, and you will travel by road from Ho Chi Minh City to the Tam Binh, outskirts of Cay Lay, where your beautiful ride to Vinh Long is. You will soon find yourself amongst the Ngu Hiep island after riding on the new island bridge. Ride at your own pace through lush farmlands of many kinds of tropical fruits, and you can find one of these you do not like at all is durian fruits; you can taste the others instead.

The Ngu Hiep island offers fertile soils, so the islands are covered with lush green fruit trees and bonsai gardens along the scenic villages. We padel well-maintained paths, ride along the Mekong River, experience the local culture of locals, visit the home of locals and small markets, and escape the island with another small ferry to Tan Phong island. Tan Phong is a beautiful island with, small charming town, and the fruit crouching market opens in the early morning only.

Many local homes are small friendly homestays for travellers who love to stay a couple of days in peaceful rural villages. We explore the island on small paths, pass some beautiful hamlets. After 5 km, we relax on the next ferry to Phu Phung village, enjoy dirt track cycling long the waterways to Binh Hoa Phuoc, and we enjoy large lunch booked by locals. Taste Vietnamese coffee, fresh fruits and continue biking along the lively river Cai Cuong Ancient house. It's one of the Mekong typical ancient in the Mekong Delta. Take a short break, visit the place, admire the old structure designed, carry on the ride, pass schools, markets, vibrant villages. You bike to An Binh island with water channels, and the busiest waterway through the island is Dong Phu canals. We continue biking through the island to An Binh Ferry Dock and enjoy today's last ferry to Vinh Long town. Take a rest, rest your legs on the vehicle driving to Can Tho.

Can Tho City is the Capital City of Vietnam's Mekong Delta Region and is famous for its bustling floating market. Take a boat trip to the busiest floating market. The market is the highlight of today's activities. Hundreds of boats gather to trade agricultural products, which are from other provinces in the delta.

After breakfast, take a 40-minute boat trip from Ninh Kieu Pier to Cai Rang. Watch hundreds of small boats exchange farm products, from boat to boat. The boat will get through the floating market slowly, so all things on your sight. Every boat has a long upright pole at its bow on which samples of the goods for sale hung on the bamboo sticks with bananas, pineapple, sweet potatoes, watermelons, and so on.

Disembark your boat for a short transfer to the other side of Hau Giang River to Binh Minh for a half-day ride. We cycle through the vast rice paddy fields, explore the Khmer villages, and stop visiting some colourful Khmer temples, and the small workshop produces hats, handbags, indoor sandals, and bins, all made from water hyacinths. We end up the ride in Tam Binh, lunch en-route before returning to Saigon by vehicle. Tour End!
