Cu Chi Tunnels & Deep in the Delta

After being picked up at your hotel at 8:00 am, we will travel by shuttle south to Long An in the Mekong Delta. The day’s ride is approximately 20 km long and begins in Nhat Tao, Tan Tru. This scenic, hand-picked route offers you a chance to experience the real life of locals and the authentic countryside along picturesque, betel tree–lined paths. Lunch will be served en route in My Tho.

In the afternoon, activities include cruising the Mekong River by motorboat, visiting brick factories, observing trading along the water, and exploring a coconut market that stretches for kilometers along both banks of the river. You will then check into a hotel in Ben Tre, followed by an included dinner.

After breakfast, we set off on bicycles, gently pedaling through the quiet countryside. The paths are peaceful and shaded, lined with swaying coconut trees and stretches of green orchards that seem to follow the curves of small, winding rivers. We stop at local homes where families continue traditional crafts—hand-weaving sleeping mats, skillfully shaping thatch roofs, and preparing homemade snacks that carry generations of flavor and care.

The journey continues onto the water, where we board a small sampan and glide through narrow canals shaded by dense nipa palms. Along the way, we enjoy fresh tropical fruits—sweet, juicy, and picked right from nearby orchards. 

By midday, we gather to savor an authentic Mekong meal, rich with local ingredients and flavors that reflect the region’s abundance. After lunch, we settle into a comfortable shuttle ride, allowing ourselves two hours to relax as we make our way toward Can Tho.

On the final morning of the tour, we’ll take a motorized boat to visit the lively Cai Rang Floating Market, the region’s most authentic floating market, bustling with both wholesale and retail boats. Along the way, you’ll see grocery boats and floating houses surrounding you. We’ll then continue by boat to a local noodle and vermicelli workshop before exploring the hidden charms of the Phong Dien countryside bicycle. After lunch, we’ll return to Ho Chi Minh City by vehicle.
