This full-day, small-group tour focuses on the Mekong Delta’s waterways and local communities. It begins with a departure from Ho Chi Minh City at 8 AM, traveling by minivan or bus for about two hours to My Tho. Upon arrival, the tour includes a motorboat ride passing Dragon Island, Phoenix Island, and Turtle Island, followed by a visit to Unicorn Island to see a natural beekeeping farm where guests can sample honey wine, rice wine, and banana wine. A walk through the village and rowing a sampan along the coconut canal offer insight into rural Mekong Delta life. The journey continues by motorboat to Ben Tre province to observe a handmade coconut candy workshop. Then a small motorboat navigates the green canals beneath water coconut trees. Lunch is served at a local Vietnamese restaurant with a set menu that can accommodate vegan diets. After lunch, tropical fruits are tasted at an orchard garden, accompanied by a traditional music performance. A local boat returns participants to My Tho, where the minivan or bus transports them back to Ho Chi Minh City, arriving between 4:30 and 5:00 PM. Additional activities include trying Vietnamese khotcake cooking with a local chef, a tuk tuk or electric car ride through the coconut village, cycling around a coconut garden, and tasting honey tea and coconut candy. The tour also offers an optional visit to the Vinh Trang Pagoda, a 19th-century temple with southern Vietnamese architecture. Transportation is provided in an air-conditioned minivan or tourist bus, with pickup from centrally located hotels in Districts 1, 3, and 4. An English-speaking guide leads the tour, and travel insurance is included.
