Kickstart your day with a hearty breakfast, and a trip to
Mekong Delta follows. The guide will meet you at the hotel lobby around 7:15-7:30 am, and you will head to
My Tho, which lies on the left side of the
Mekong River.
Upon arrival, board the sampan and cruise down the river around the four beautiful islands, known as
Dragon,
Unicorn,
Phoenix, and
Tortoise islands. Stop at Unicorn Island, walk around the country lanes, and see the orchards. Visit fruit plantations and enjoy tropical fruits and folk song music performed by the local people.
Then take a hand-rowed sampan through
Thoi Son canal and immerse yourself in the beauty of the countryside. Visit family workshops and honey-bee farm, and taste some honey tea and coconut candies.
Refuel yourself with a traditional Vietnamese lunch, and later cycle around the
Tan Thach village, and meet the local villagers to experience the local daily life in the Mekong Delta. If you are not keen on a cycling trip, enjoy a cool breeze and a relaxing time in a hammock. Afterwards, you will get back to your accommodation.
Overnight in Ho Chi Minh city.
