This full-day tour from Ho Chi Minh City lasts about nine to ten hours and includes hotel pickup and drop-off near the Saigon Opera House or selected hotels in districts 1, 3, and 4. The group travels by vehicle for approximately two hours to the Mekong Delta countryside, avoiding tourist areas and shopping stops. Upon arrival at the bike store, guests receive Trek or Giant bicycles with helmets for cycling. The cycling covers between twenty and thirty kilometers through quiet Mekong villages and along riverbanks, taking a route off the beaten track to provide a more authentic view of local life. Depending on water conditions, cycling may take place in the afternoon instead of the morning. The tour includes a two-hour boat trip on the Mekong River to Cai Be Floating Village, where travelers observe daily river life. After the boat trip, guests kayak between three and five kilometers with boat support and life vests provided; kayaking lasts about forty-five minutes to one hour. Following kayaking, the group cycles again for about two hours through villages and along the Mekong riverbank, completing a large loop back to the bike store. Lunch is served at a local restaurant during the cycling portion, and tea and coffee are included. A local guide accompanies the group throughout the day. Safety equipment for cycling and kayaking is provided. Personal expenses, gratuities, and travel insurance are not included. Children aged three and older may join if accompanied by an adult; child seats are available. Vegetarian meals can be arranged if requested at booking. The tour operates in all weather conditions and requires a minimum of four guests and a maximum of twelve per booking.
