Itinerary

07:00 AM | Ho Chi Minh City – My Tho

Our professional tour guide and driver will pick you up at the designated meeting point in Ho Chi Minh City to begin our journey to My Tho and Ben Tre. Traveling via the Ho Chi Minh City – Trung Luong Expressway, you will enjoy scenic views of the lush Mekong Delta countryside.

Upon arrival in My Tho, we will take a brief break at the Mekong Rest Stop, an ideal spot for relaxation and photography.

Vinh Trang Pagoda

Our first stop is the historic Vinh Trang Pagoda, an architectural masterpiece dating back to the 19th century. Built by Mr. and Mrs. Bui Cong Dat, this sacred site is renowned for its unique fusion of Asian and European styles, making it one of the most significant cultural monuments in Southern Vietnam.

Exploring the Tien River

Next, we head to the My Tho Marina to board a private boat for a cruise along the Tien River. From the water, you can admire the four legendary islets: Dragon, Unicorn, Tortoise, and Phoenix. The boat will pass by local floating fish farms, offering insights into regional aquaculture and a panoramic view of the Rach Mieu Bridge.

Thoi Son Islet (Unicorn Islet) & Pomelo Garden

After docking at Thoi Son Islet, take a leisurely stroll through peaceful village paths. You will visit a local household and explore a sprawling 5,000-square-meter Green-Skin Pomelo Garden, which stays lush and fruitful year-round. Following the garden tour, visit a local honey bee farm to savor refreshing honey tea with lime.

Culture & Countryside Charm

Immerse yourself in the soulful melodies of Don Ca Tai Tu (Southern Folk Music) while sampling fresh seasonal fruits. Afterward, experience a tranquil hand-rowed sampan ride through narrow canals shaded by water coconut palms, capturing the essence of the Mekong’s rural beauty.

Ben Tre – The Land of Coconuts

Returning to the larger boat, we cruise downstream to Ben Tre Province. Here, you will visit a traditional coconut candy workshop and a rice paper factory in Tan Thach Commune. Enjoy a nostalgic horse-drawn carriage ride along quiet rural roads, observing the authentic daily life of the locals.

12:30 PM | Lunch & Eco-Experience

We proceed to the Viet Nhat Eco Restaurant for a traditional Mekong Delta lunch.

After your meal, feel free to explore the eco-park:

• Visit small-scale farms featuring crocodiles, porcupines, and soft-shell turtles.
• Relax in a hammock or wander through fruit orchards and coconut groves.
• Folk Games: Participate in fun local activities such as cycling across a narrow bridge, rope swinging, or walking across a "monkey bridge."

03:00 PM | Return to Ho Chi Minh City

Reboard the boat for the return trip to My Tho, then hop back on the bus for the drive to Ho Chi Minh City. The tour concludes upon arrival at your drop-off point. We look forward to seeing you on your next adventure!
