Excursion to the Mekong Delta<\/a>: My Tho & Ben Tre<\/h3>\n

Take a private transfer from the District 1 of Ho Chi Minh City to the river town of My Tho. With your private guide, you will first visit the elaborately decorated V\u0129nh Tr\u00e0ng Pagoda. Afterwards, you will cruise around the well-known islets \u2013 Dragon, Unicorn, Phoenix, and Tortoise by boat. Here you will disembark for a walk on Unicorn Island and a chance to pick some delicious tropical fruits while being entertained by local singers. Then you will go to a small honey-bee farm on the B\u1ebfn Tre\u2019s Th\u1edbi S\u01a1n canal, where you will taste low-grade tea and honey on-site and fresh coconut candy from the factory. After having the delicious gourmet lunch served riverside from the Delta cuisine, you can choose to either bike through T\u00e2n Th\u1ea1ch Village or just lay on your own private hammock by some palm trees. Lastly, you will have a private transfer back to Ho Chi Minh City with the same relaxing experience returning as you had arriving.<\/p>\n

Alternately, in the Mekong near My Tho, you can experience a guided bike tour<\/strong><\/a> from Saigon. This is a great way to pick and see the quiet countryside, see the local villages and enjoy the natural beauty of the Delta. If you would like to consider incorporating a cycling option into your trip, please contact us for more information.<\/p>\n
