Overview

This full-day tour lasts about six to seven hours and begins with a pickup in Ben Tre between 9:00 and 10:00 am. The tour starts with a motorbike scooter or tuktuk ride through rural areas, zigzagging through villages and passing coconut gardens and canals. Participants visit traditional Mekong houses to observe local life, customs, and occupations. The ride continues through the countryside, allowing time to see local plants and taste fresh fruits and juices such as coconut or sugarcane juice. Around midday, lunch is served featuring authentic Mekong dishes prepared by a local chef, accompanied by fresh coconut juice with kumquat. After lunch, there is time to rest on a hammock in a natural setting. In the afternoon, the group takes a peaceful sailboat cruise on the Mekong River and along quiet canals shaded by coconut palms and tropical fruit trees. The boat passes small riverside settlements where daily river life can be observed, including fishermen, local boats, and children playing. Following the boat ride, the tour continues with a tuktuk or motorbike ride through the narrow streets of Ben Tre city, where participants can sample street food popular with locals and enjoy fresh fruit drinks. The tour ends with a return to the original pickup location in Ben Tre. An English-speaking local guide accompanies the entire tour.
