FULL-DAY MEKONG DELTA PACKAGE TOUR FROM SAIGON
MORNING
Our tour guide will pick you up at your hotel in Ho Chi Minh City at around 8:00 and we will depart for Ben Tre Province (about 90 km far from the City) so as to begin Mekong Delta tour full day Ben Tre Coconut Kingdom.
Arriving in Ben Tre, your first experience is taking Xe Loi (motorbike pulling cart) – one kind of tractor as well as locals’ daily vehicle – to travel through the green fields and gardens in the village.
This means of transport will lead you even past the small village road to watch the local people’s daily life, which is usually attached with rice paddies and lush green orchards.
At the end of the road, when you cannot continue exploring the Mekong region by Xe Loi, you will board the sampan to begin a tour exploring the Mekong River.
Your sampan will cruise among the large networks of meandering rivers and criss-crossed canals so that you can observe the local fishermen’s life and contemplate the beautiful waterway landscape of Mekong delta. A welcome drink fresh coconut juice and tropical fruits will be served while the boat is cruising.
Upon embarkation on your sampan, you will take the visit to the traditional handicraft workshops of making coconut, brick and Hu Tieu noodles. There, you will talk to local people in Ben Tre Coconut Kingdom full day as well as learn more about the life of people living in the Mekong Delta Region.
Additionally, the Mekong tour also offers you a great opportunity to experience travelling on a hand rowing boat and cycling around the small village roads on the Mekong islets. The two local vehicles will help you to worm easily through the interlaced network of rivers and canals to reach the smallest but prettiest corners in the region.
AFTERNOON
After lunch served with local food at a river side restaurant, our tour guide will take you to visit a local family’s traditional house which is a typically wooden style house and made of coconut. The wife will teach you how to make a traditional local daily food of Hu Tieu noddles, while her husband, a former Vietcong soldier who luckily survived the war fighting against the Khmer Rouge (Pon Pot), will tell you some stories about this war.
Saying goodbye to the local hospitable family, you will transfer to the pier nearby where your boat is waiting for you to bring you back to Ben Tre City.
Return to Saigon by car. Arrive your hotel around 7:00 P.M.
