Tour Description
What you will see and experience during this tour
Their guide and driver will pick you up at your hotel, and drive you two hours to Ben Tre Town (~ 90km). The group will stop along the way for refreshments and a toilet.
Upon arrival, the group will board a motorboat and cruise along a vast network of canals and channels to enjoy wonderful views of life along the Mekong River.
Stop at a brick kiln, where the locals work among clusters of beehive-shaped structures that churn out millions of bricks each year in handy traditional style. They offer a fascinating glimpse into a local industry.
Crossing the River to the other side, the group will stop at a traditional workshop to witness a step-by-step process on how to make coconut candy while trying some yourself.
Visit a local family to see where they make traditional mats and enjoy some fruits and tea. It is a chance to interact with local people to know more about rural life.
Lunch will be served at a riverside restaurant with a Vietnamese 5-course set menu. Please request in advance if you have a food allergy, you are a vegetarian, or you observe Halal.
Enjoy what local people offer by hand-rowing a sampan along the shady, breezy canal.
Take a motor cart or cycle ride on shady roads, pass by green fields and vegetable plantations, and find out about tropical culture from the villagers.
The group will drive another two hours back to Ho Chi Minh City and complete the tour excursion by taking you back to the pickup point.
