Itinerary

  1. Day 1

    Ho Chi Minh City to Mekong Delta

    Meet up with your group early in the morning and head south toward the Mekong River Delta. You'll spend the day traveling through the delta on traditional sampan boats, getting a feel for how people move around this waterway region. Biking along the smaller waterways gives you a different perspective, and you'll stop in Ben Tre and Cai Thia to see local life up close. The afternoon includes time at a local family's home where they'll show you how to prepare spring rolls and Banh Xeo, so you're both learning and helping with their daily cooking routine. As evening arrives, stick around for a lantern-lit performance put on by villagers, which wraps up the day nicely.

    Meals
    Lunch, Dinner (Spring rolls and Banh Xeo prepared with local family)

  2. Day 2

    Mekong Delta

    After breakfast, you'll head to the community riverside market to see what locals are buying and selling. From there, a boat takes you out to the Pottery Brick Village, sometimes called the Red Kingdom because of all the clay work happening there. Getting around by bicycle lets you move at a slower pace and really take in the area. Later, you'll drive toward Can Tho in the Mekong Delta, and once you arrive, the afternoon is yours to do what interests you. If wildlife draws you in, there's bird watching available, or if you'd rather stick to town and see what's around, that works too.

  3. Day 3

    Cai Rang Floating Market to Ho Chi Minh City

    Getting up early means you can catch the sunrise over the Cai Rang Floating Market, one of the most distinctive parts of life on the Mekong River where boats gather and commerce happens right on the water. You'll explore the market both from land and by boat to see how everything operates. By mid-morning, you'll start driving back toward Ho Chi Minh City, and once you arrive there, your tour comes to an end.
