Your Mekong Delta adventure begins with a pick-up
in Ho Chi Minh City and a drive to Ben Tre. Upon arrival, board a boat
and cruise along the Chẹt Sậy River, where daily life unfolds on the
water. See locals transporting goods by boat and visit traditional workshops
along the riverbanks. Stop at a brick kiln to learn how bricks are still
handmade, then continue to a coconut workshop to discover how coconuts are
peeled, cracked, and processed. Refresh yourself with a glass of fresh coconut
water on board as you enjoy the scenery.
Next, visit a coconut
candy workshop and taste warm sweets straight from the pot, followed by
seasonal tropical fruits and honey tea. In Nhơn Thạnh village, meet
local artisans weaving traditional mats and explore the countryside by walking,
cycling, or taking a local xe lôi ride. Around midday, enjoy a delicious
Vietnamese lunch at a riverside restaurant.
In the afternoon, take a
sampan boat ride through the narrow coconut-palm canals, gliding peacefully
under the shade and experiencing the charm of Delta waterways. Afterward,
return by xe lôi to your boat, transfer back to Ben Tre pier, and drive
back to Ho Chi Minh City, arriving in the late afternoon with
unforgettable memories of the Mekong Delta.
