Overview

The tour starts with a speedboat ride from Saigon Waterbus Station (Bach Dang pier) along the Saigon River, traveling from the busy city of Ho Chi Minh City toward the Mekong Delta. The ride offers fresh air and changing views as the urban area transitions into the quieter rural landscape. After the speedboat segment, the group transfers to a traditional hand-rowed boat to navigate narrow canals lined with coconut groves. Along the way, the tour visits a coconut candy factory where guests can learn about the production process. The tour includes tasting honey tea and Mekong vodka. Participants have the option to cycle on village roads and try rowing a boat themselves. Lunch is served on Ben Tre island, featuring a traditional Vietnamese set menu. An English-speaking local expert guide accompanies the group throughout the approximately eight-hour tour. Included in the tour are bottled Lavie water, wet towels, a cake from The Sugar Town bakery, and seasonal fruits. Pick-up and drop-off take place at Saigon Waterbus Station. Safety measures include boat insurance and life jackets. Alcoholic drinks beyond those provided during the tour, personal expenses, and gratuities are not included but can be purchased separately. The tour involves some light physical activity, which guests may opt out of if preferred.
