Deeper in the Mekong Delta Day Tour (Ben Tre)

Begin your day early as you depart from Saigon and head south toward Ben Tre. After approximately 2 hours (90 km), arrive at your first stop and embark on a scenic boat trip along the Mekong River. As you glide along the river, take in the vibrant sights of local life, from fishing boats to floating markets. This peaceful journey offers a unique glimpse into the daily activities of the people living along the riverbanks.

After your boat ride, visit a traditional coconut processing workshop where you’ll learn about the local methods of turning coconuts into various products. Then, head to a mat-weaving house, where you’ll see how locals skillfully craft mats—a craft that has been passed down for generations. These stops give you a deeper understanding of the region's unique craftsmanship.

Enjoy a delicious lunch at a local restaurant, featuring authentic Mekong Delta cuisine. Afterward, indulge in fresh seasonal fruits, sip on refreshing honeybee tea, and taste the famous coconut candy, which is a specialty of the region.

Next, choose between a relaxing Xe Loi ride or a cycling tour through the village. Both options offer an opportunity to experience rural life in the Delta, where you’ll be surrounded by lush coconut groves, tranquil waterways, and picturesque landscapes. This is a great chance to interact with the locals and see the authentic farming practices in the area.

Conclude your Mekong adventure with a peaceful sampan ride through the water coconut canals. Drift through these serene waters surrounded by lush greenery, before heading back to the pier for your return journey to Saigon.
