Mekong Delta Cycling

Day 1: At 08:00 pick up from your hotel for a 2 hour drive to Vinh Long in the Mekong Delta. En route you will see the riverine life of the Mekong Delta and its incredible fertility that makes it the breadbasket of the country. When you arrive, meet your local guide and board a boat for the short trip to An Binh island, where you’ll visit a floating fish farm. Then it’s time to start your cycling adventure along peaceful countryside roads flanked by fruit gardens and canals, until you reach the house of a local family where you will enjoy a home-cooked lunch.

After you’ve eaten your fill, continue cycling around the island. The delta is a hive of activity with thousands of cottage industries along its banks and you will visit a coconut candy workshop as well as a Cao Dai temple before heading to your family-run ecolodge accommodation. Relax by the swimming pool and enjoy the tranquil atmosphere of the countryside as well as dinner, featuring local specialities.

Day 2: After breakfast at the lodge, take a boat transfer to Thanh Duc village, a peaceful area on the mainland. Then mount your bikes once more for a couple of hours pleasant riding under the lush green jungle canopy, passing pottery workshops, vast emerald rice fields and vegetable farms. Cycle along small paths that run alongside the water, passing through numerous canalside villages as you are greeted by local kids. Lunch is served at a small local restaurant before driving back to Ho Chi Minh City, arriving at your hotel around 17:00.
