Mekong Delta & Vinh Trang Pagoda Tour
Overview of the tour in Ho Chi Minh
Enjoy a boat on the Tien River to the Tortoise Islet and the Dragon, Phoenix, and Unicorn Islet. The journey takes you through tranquil fruit orchards, verdant rice paddies, and rustic villages where you can observe the daily lives of locals.
Take the boat cruise to Ben Tre province - the land of coconuts where you can tour a coconut farm and witness the process of making coconut candy, rice paper, and other coconut-based products.
Walk into the village, where you can visit a local fruit garden and enjoy the tropical fruit while listening to Southern Vietnamese folk music performed by islanders. Next, head to the riverside for a sampan riding experience, gliding along the intricate waterways with coconut palms lining both sides.
This is a chance to witness the region's rural life up close. Visit the bee house and taste some honey tea. Lunch will be served right in the heart of the orchard garden.
