Itinerary
Your private guide welcomes you at the ornate triple-arched gate, then walks you through bonsai gardens and the 19th-century main hall to explain how Buddhist, Khmer and French styles blend here. Admire the giant reclining Buddha and snap panoramic photos before continuing to the pier.
Board a private wooden boat and glide along the broad Tien River. Enjoy fresh coconut water while passing floating fish cages, stilt houses and the impressive Rach Mieu Bridge. Your guide points out daily river life and answers any questions.
Step inside a family-run workshop to watch artisans crack, grate and cook coconuts into chewy candy. Try warm samples straight off the block, see rice-paper wrapping done by hand and browse small souvenirs (no pressure to buy). Sit down to a set menu featuring elephant-ear fish, fresh spring rolls and Delta dishes. Vegetarian, vegan or Halal meals are available on request. Take a hammock break in the garden before the return cruise. Hop on a tuk-tuk or bicycle to explore fruit orchards and village lanes. Visit a family house, sample seasonal tropical fruit, and listen to Southern folk music (đờn ca tài tử) while sipping honey-lime tea.
