This Local Mekong Delta Lesser-Known My Tho and Ben Tre 1-Day Tour with Vinh Trang Pagoda and Three Boat Rides lasts between eight and ten hours. It begins with pickup from hotels in Ho Chi Minh City's Districts 1 and 4. The first stop is Vinh Trang Pagoda in My Tho, a Buddhist temple founded in the mid-19th century. Visitors spend about thirty minutes exploring the two-hectare grounds, which feature a mix of Vietnamese, Chinese, and Cambodian architectural styles, including dragon-shaped roof decorations and colorful Buddha statues. After the pagoda visit, the tour continues with a boat cruise on the Mekong River and local canals around My Tho. During this cruise, guests see fruit orchards and a bee farm, sample local honey, and take a rowing boat through a quiet water coconut canal designed for calm navigation. The tour then proceeds to Ben Tre, known as the kingdom of coconut. There, visitors watch the production of coconut candy and enjoy a five-course Southern Vietnamese lunch that includes a cooking session to make banh xeo, a Vietnamese pancake. After lunch, guests may choose to ride bicycles through the village or relax on hammocks. The tour includes three separate boat rides in total: the initial Mekong River cruise, the rowing boat on the coconut canal, and a final boat trip returning to the Mekong boat station in the mid-afternoon. Bottled water, fruit and coconut juice, all boat rides, lunch, taxes, and air-conditioned transport are included. The tour returns to Ho Chi Minh City around 4:30 to 5:00 PM.
