Mekong Delta Back Roads: Caibe- TraVinh- Cantho

On the second day, we start our ride from home-stay. We ride on a quiet back road through Binh Hoa Phuoc village, stop at some ancient houses, and belonged to the landlords before 1975. we ride past kindergarten and primary schools before we follow the dirt track through rambutan orchards and explore villages on countryside paths at your leisure with your biking guide to Cho Lach. Lunch in the local home in Cai Mon. We continue the journey of cycling in Ben Tre where we a vehicle transfer after lunch. 

This is a unique ride because the scenery is entirely different from the other days on the trip. The countryside landscapes are so beautiful that you cannot ride fast at all. Enjoy the ride through a network of concrete paths wide enough about 2 meters through water palm, coconut plantation, tiny concrete houses and irrigation system along the way to ferry station where we end up today’s ride. Have a short transfer to a hotel in the city.

Tra Vinh is a small town, and it is not a destination for tourists travelling by bus. So it is tranquil at night after 8:30 pm everything seems to be closed and almost sleep. The province is considered the homeland of Khmer. There are numerous Khmer temples not only in the city but also in the rural districts. A special cycle day allows you to learn about cultures, history and explore deeply to traditional villages of Khmer. Stop and visit some thatch houses, experience the ways of Khmer lives and visit some colourful temples on your way to Cau Ke township. 

After we have lunch in town, a fantastic bicycling begins after just half an hour of vehicle transfer to Tra On. We continue the afternoon ride with a ferry crossing to Island. Explore beautiful countryside villages across two islands, pedal along canals, rivers, fruit orchards and rice paddy fields. We get on a support vehicle before 5:00 pm for a short transfer to Can Tho to check in the hotel.

On the last day of the tour, board a motorboat to see the lively floating market. There are many wholesale boats hung type of products they want to sell to smaller boats. Smaller boats are local dealers that come to buy from wholesale boats and sell them back to land markets or locally. Locals come every morning to buy and sell just about anything you can imagine – freshly harvested fruit and vegetables, noodle soup, broken rice, and coffee can be offered here.  Another little sampan with the long-tailed engine that are grocery boats and floating houses around you. 

After a wander around the market on land, we’ll disembark from the boat and hit the path to explore some of the hidden charms of the Phong Dien countryside (prepare to be amazed again!) We will have lunch before driving back to Ho Chi Minh. Tour Ends!
