Itinerary
Day 1: Day 1: Saigon – MyTho – VinhLong ( L, D)
Stop At: Cai Be Floating Market, Cai Be Vietnam
Leaving Saigon, our shuttle will take you for about an hour drive to Long An where we mount on our bike for cycling through longan fruit farms. First stage about 30km on countryside road. Then we cycle to MyTho town and stop for lunch at a local restaurant.
Following lunch, we travel to Cai Lay where we collect our bicycles and enjoy a leisurely, two-hour afternoon bicycle ride on peaceful country lanes and quiet roads that pass through local villages and along canals.
Arriving in Cai Be, we board a boat to the floating market and then cruise over 1.5km-wide Mekong river to your accommodation. You can expect spectacular sunsets along the Mekong. Dinner at and spend the night in an eco guesthouse on Binh Hoa Phuoc island.
It’s good to have a small rucksack/bumbag with really just the absolute minimum in it for a night away on the island- change of underwear, shirt, minimal washbag, phone charger, etc.. , as you’ll cycle and boat to the island

We have chance to visit a local rice husking mill, or a factory producing vermicelli, etc..
Afterward, we mount our bikes for another two hours pleasant riding under the lush green, jungle canopy in one of the most scenic areas of the Delta, passing through numerous rural villages alongside small canals, greeting locals (many of whom will also be on bicycle).
