Full Itinerary
Day
1:
Ha Tien - Rach Gia
65km
Depart at 7:30 am; then We'll transfer 30 minutes to Mui Dua, Duong Hoa market, begin the day's cycle onto the idyllic countryside, cycle along canals, view the rural landscapes, visit limestone kilns, then resume cycling to Khmer Nui Trau pagoda, then to Ba Hon Catholic church, and break for coffee in the little town. There will be many stops along the way as we visit some highlights. Following the coffee break, we ride across rice fields, passing local thatch houses. We enjoy views of back roads, beautiful rural paths through beautiful farmlands and authentic villages, and then to mysterious caves. Hang Mo So Cave is the only limestone cave in the south Mekong Delta. It is a lovely, unpolite cave located in the remote villages of Kien Giang- a non-touristy destination. The routes to Hang Mo So are fantastic: shining golden rice fields and windy limestone mountain views; like other mountains, Mo So was a military base and radio station during Khmer Ruge. According to scientific and geological researchers, the caves here were formed by erosion millions of years ago when this land was still more than 2m below sea level. Water lines still stain the rock, creating caves, holes, and different shapes of stalactites. After exploring the cave on foot, we will return to bikes and ride to Kien Luong market, where your lunch break is. The afternoon ride continues in Soc Xoai Market after a-30 minute transfer. We will travel through agricultural farmlands, sometimes small villages to temple ruins and finish the ride at the Van Tru ferry boat. Take rest on support vehicle to Rach Gia City.

After leisurely breakfast, a quick transfer to a rural village in Rach Soi, and we ride across the verdant fields of vegetation. Adventure to the rice basket of Mekong Delta, ride along the rivers as you race with sampan boats alongside, and waving children as you cycle along small paths along tiny paths through endless rice paddies, stop at a bustling market in the rural area. You will have many opportunities to stop at some colourful Buddhist pagodas and temples, local markets to experience life along the banks, with stunning views across the Mekong countryside. Stop off at Giong Rieng tittle town, visit the local market, enjoy a coffee break, taste fresh fruits, coconut milk. Afterwards, continue the ride to discover the maze of small canals and see how locals live fishing, farming, enjoy riding on small bridges over water channels, passing stilt houses along waterways, and experience people's lives—lunch en route.
The vibrant scenery, the quiet country lanes and charming Khmer villages give more chances and time to meet friendly people and explore more about rice plants, vegetables and fruits. The paths are pretty smooth and in good condition, with many narrow bridges up and down. These also offer magnificent views of the fertile region, rice crop and fruit harvests. Today's ride ends on Thoi Lai and has a 1-hour transfer to Can Tho City.

After breakfast, check out, and we board on a motorized boat ride on Can Tho River to Cai Rang, a great time to watch the vibrant daily life along the river bank. Can Tho is known as the capital of the Mekong Delta. It is famous for its floating markets running in the morning with wholesale bigger boats and retail smaller boats moving around to create picturesqueness. Cai Rang floating market is one that travellers love to go there and see. It is open all day, but it is busiest from sunrise to about 9:00 am. Most of the main items for selling are farm products, commodities and specialties of locals from neighbouring areas.
Following the floating market, a quick transfer over the Hau Giang River to Binh Minh's rural village for the half-day ride to Vinh Long.
