5-Day Cycling Journey: Saigon to Phnom Penh

After breakfast, a shuttle transfer takes you to Ham Luong Bridge, where the morning cycling adventure begins. Ride along quiet backroads to Cai Mon and onward to Cho Lach District, two of Ben Tre’s most famous areas, celebrated for their lush orchards, ornamental plants, and nursery gardens. This is a wonderful chance to meet local residents, experience their daily way of life, and discover the traditional techniques used to cultivate these plants. Along the way, visit local greenhouses before enjoying a delicious home-cooked lunch with a family in Cho Lach District.

In the afternoon, continue pedaling along scenic winding paths through peaceful villages, passing lively markets, churches, and pagodas en route to Vinh Binh Village. The day’s ride then carries on to Dinh Khao Ferry, where your cycling journey comes to an end in Vinh Long. From there, relax in an air-conditioned van for a comfortable one-hour transfer to Can Tho City.

Our day begins with a scenic boat journey through the lively Cai Rang Floating Market, one of the most vibrant markets in the Mekong Delta.

Afterward, we'll pick up our bikes and ride through lush orchards of Can Tho's countryside, pedal along curved rivers and canals to the outskirts of Can Tho, and join with locals on a ferry to a further site of the Mekong River. We then have a shuttle to Sa Dec township for lunch. Following lunch, we'll visit the ancient house of Huynh Thuy Le, which was involved with the movie "The Lover," and see the market by the river. The afternoon ride allows us to see and learn how farmers grow several kinds of flowers. Here, vibrant blooms, bonsai creations, and ornamental plants fill the landscape with color and life, and it is also a great place for plant lovers.

We end the day at a charming farmstay nestled within the flower village. This peaceful setting offers the perfect opportunity to unwind, stroll through the gardens, and soak in the tranquil atmosphere. In the evening, enjoy a warm, home-cooked dinner with your hosts, savoring authentic Mekong Delta flavors and experiencing genuine local hospitality.

We begin the morning by collecting our bikes from the homestay and setting off on a rewarding ride through the peaceful countryside. A local ferry carries us across the Mekong River to the rural villages of Cao Lanh, where we cycle along quiet concrete paths beside the river, soaking in the authentic beauty of the region.

As we pedal through the wetlands, we gain a close-up view of local life, passing lush mango orchards, traditional stilt houses, and picturesque riverside scenery. Another ferry crossing takes us to the islands, including Cu Lao Gieng, one of the largest and oldest parishes in the Mekong Delta. Founded in 1874, this historic site is home to the first monastery built in Indochina. We pause for a short walking visit to admire its colonial-style architecture and explore the tranquil atmosphere of Gieng Islet. Afterward, we board the shuttle for a scenic transfer to Chau Doc.

Chau Doc is a small border town that welcomes a steady flow of travelers every day, as it serves as an important gateway between Vietnam and Cambodia. Today, you will begin your journey into Cambodia with an early morning departure.

After enjoying breakfast at your hotel, please check out and say goodbye to your Vietnamese team. At 7:00 AM, you will board a speedboat and travel along the Mekong River, continuing your adventure into Cambodia and opening a new chapter of discovery. Tour ends.
