After a scenic 2-hour drive, we’ll arrive at the river port and board a leisurely cruise along the Tien River, where you’ll have the opportunity to explore four enchanting islets, each representing a mythical animal: the Dragon, Kirin, Tortoise, and Phoenix—symbols of Southeast Asian lore. Next, we’ll visit a local honey bee farm, where you’ll sample a refreshing honey tea infused with lemon—a true taste of the Mekong’s natural bounty. You’ll also indulge in a variety of tropical fruits, bursting with the flavors that define this region.

Discover the art of making traditional coconut candy at a local workshop, where you can see the intricate process firsthand and taste these sweet treats, made with love by the locals. Immerse yourself in the soulful rhythms of "Don Ca Tai Tu", a UNESCO-recognized genre of traditional folk music that brings the spirit of the Mekong Delta to life. The journey continues with a peaceful rowing boat ride through a serene mangrove palm canal, followed by a charming horse-drawn carriage ride through the village, just like in the 19th century. The scenic beauty and tranquil atmosphere will leave you in awe.

We’ll then head to Ben Tre, the "Coconut Kingdom" of Vietnam, where you’ll learn about the many ways the local people rely on this versatile tree for their daily life. Our tour takes an exciting turn as we hop on bikes to explore the true countryside—areas where cars can’t venture. Pedal through small, winding paths, past vibrant tropical fruit gardens, and cross picturesque bridges. Stop by a lively countryside market, chat with friendly locals, and immerse yourself in the authentic Mekong Delta experience. After a thrilling 7-10 km bike ride, we’ll visit a coconut garden, where you’ll get your hands dirty harvesting the fresh fruit yourself!
