Meals: Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner
Your journey begins with a morning departure from Ho Chi Minh City as you travel south toward the fertile Mekong Delta via the Ho Chi Minh City–Trung Luong Expressway.
After breakfast en route, visit Vinh Trang Pagoda, one of the most beautiful Buddhist temples in Southern Vietnam, where Vietnamese, Khmer, Chinese, and European architectural styles blend harmoniously.
Continue to My Tho Pier and board a traditional wooden boat for a relaxing cruise along the Tiền River. Along the way, admire floating fish farms, riverside villages, and the famous Dragon, Unicorn, Phoenix, and Tortoise Islets.
Arriving at Thoi Son Islet, enjoy a leisurely walk through lush tropical orchards before visiting a local pomelo garden and honey bee farm. Taste fresh tropical fruits while listening to traditional Đờn Ca Tài Tử, a UNESCO-recognized musical heritage unique to Southern Vietnam.
Next, board a hand-rowed sampan to glide through peaceful coconut-lined canals, one of the most iconic experiences in the Mekong Delta.
Cross the river into Ben Tre Province, famous as Vietnam's “Kingdom of Coconut." Here, observe how traditional coconut candy and rice paper are handmade before taking a horse-drawn carriage through quiet village roads.
Enjoy lunch at an eco-tourism garden where you can relax among fruit orchards or participate in fun countryside activities.
In the afternoon, continue to Can Tho, the cultural heart of the Mekong Delta.
After checking into a traditional family homestay, join your hosts in preparing a Vietnamese dinner using fresh local ingredients. Share stories, enjoy authentic regional dishes, and experience the warm hospitality of the Mekong people.
Overnight at the homestay.
