Stop At: Mekong Delta, Mekong Delta
– The guide will pick you up at your place for Mekong Delta 1 day with biking tour.
– After around 2-hour driving from Saigon, we will take leisurely cruise on the Tien river to see 4 islets which are represented as four mythical animals in Southeast Asia: Dragon, Kirin, Tortoise, Phoenix and then visit Kirin islet for the main activities. Let’s try the freshly barked handmade coconut candy, try some specialty products, walk through the orchard gardens to taste some seasonal tropical fruits and listen to the folk music which is an indispensible spiritual cultural activity in locals’ life at Kirin islet.
– Furthermore, we can relax on the rowing boat going through a mangrove palm canal, and continue to walk through the village as the way locals did in the 19th century.
– Coming back to the main land and drive directly to Ben Tre province which is called as a coconut kingdom in Vietnam. Over there, we can easily find out how useful of a “tree of heaven” affecting in locals’ life.
– Specially on the Mekong Delta 1 day with biking tour, we will take our own bikes for riding through the very truly countryside where car is nearly impossible to get through with small complex terrain.
– After about 7 – 10 km biking, we are going to pass the countryside local market, tropical fruit gardens, get across the bridge with vast mangrove palm scenery from both sides, visit a countryside market and take some funny talks with friendly locals over there.
– Following that, we will come to coconut garden to harvest the fruit by ourselves and then have a typical “home grow, homemade” lunch just the same as locals’.
