Day
1:
Saigon- CaiBe- VinhLong- CanTho
25 - 45 km
After you are picked up at your hotel, a 1.5-hour drive will take you to the rural village of My Tho to start the ride. Before the group leaves Ho Chi Minh City, our mechanic and truck with all the bikes will go ahead to My Tho. All bikes are double-checked before the group arrives.
We start cycling from Tam Binh Market, which is located by the Mekong River. We take a local ferry to cross the river to Ngu Hiep Island. Our bike guide will lead the way and help you explore local life on the island. You will ride through durian, longan, and grapefruit orchards, passing local markets and small villages. Then we take another ferry to Tan Phong Island. While waiting for the ferry, our team will serve cold water and soft drinks.
Tan Phong Island is a quiet and green island with many fruits, homestays, and local restaurants. After exploring the island by bike, we stop for lunch at a local restaurant on Tan Phong Island (or maybe in Cai Be town). There will be many stops along the way for coffee, water, and visits to family workshops.
In the afternoon, the ride continues. We cross the river by ferry to Dong Phu village, then ride on small paths through the island. After that, we take another ferry to Vinh Long. Today’s ride ends in Vinh Long town. You will then relax for about one hour in an air-conditioned van on the way to Can Tho city.
