Take a leisurely boat trip from My Tho to cruise around the four beautiful islands known as Dragon, Unicorn, Phoenix and Tortoise islands. Visit the picturesque orchards and sample the freshly picked fruit at the invitation of friendly local farmers. Get on a rowing boat ride in the shadows of the water-coconut palms along the tiny canals of Ben Tre Province. Learn the traditional rural lifestyle of the Mekong Delta inhabitants.

Our guide and driver will come to meet you at your hotel in Saigon around 8:00am and depart to My Tho, the closest Mekong Delta City from Saigon. On arrival, you will take a boat cruise along one of the nine main tributaries of the Mekong River before arriving at Ben Tre where you will visit a handicraft workshop creating products made from coconut trees. From here switch to horse-drawn cart to visit local houses where you can enjoy tea and a variety of tropical fruits grown in their garden before floating on a sampan (typical delta boat) through the narrow, tree-lined canals of the Mekong Delta. After lunch, the boat returns you to the mainland. If time permits, stop at the Vinh Trang Pagoda on the way back to HCMC. Tour ends at your hotel around 5:00pm.
