Itinerary

HCM – MY THO – BEN TRE – HCM

The bus will pick you up at the designated meeting point to begin your Mekong Delta tour, exploring My Tho and Ben Tre, towns situated on the left side of the Mekong River. You’ll board a sampan and cruise down the river, passing by the four beautiful islands known as Dragon, Unicorn, Phoenix, and Tortoise Islands.

At Unicorn Island, take a walk along the country lanes, explore orchards, enjoy tropical fruits, and listen to traditional folk songs performed by local artists. You’ll also visit a fruit plantation.

Next, experience a hand-rowed sampan ride through the Thoi Son canal, taking in the serene countryside. Visit local businesses, stop by a honey-bee farm, enjoy honey tea, and watch a coconut candy-making demonstration.

Lunch will be served at a local restaurant, followed by a break.

In the afternoon, you’ll have the opportunity to cycle around Tan Thach village, where you can meet locals and get a glimpse of daily life in the Mekong Delta. If you prefer not to cycle, you can relax in a hammock and enjoy the cool breeze.

Afterward, you’ll meet the bus for the return trip to Ho Chi Minh City, concluding the tour with sweet memories and lots of fun.
