Our guide and driver will collect you from your hotel and embark on a 1.5-hour journey to My Tho, with scheduled stops along the way for refreshments and restroom breaks.
Upon arrival, we’ll board a motorboat and navigate through a vast network of canals and channels, providing picturesque views of the Mekong River, including the renowned Dragon, Unicorn, Turtle, and Phoenix islands.
We’ll pause at one of the floating fish houses, where villagers cultivate freshwater fish and shrimp in nets and wire baskets, a significant export of the region.
Crossing the river, we’ll visit a traditional workshop, observing the meticulous process of making coconut candy, honey farming, and indulging in local delicacies while enjoying traditional music.
Experience the local lifestyle firsthand by hand-rowing a sampan along the serene canal. We’ll then transfer to a Xe Loi, a local form of transportation, to explore the surrounding villages.
Lunch will be served at a riverside restaurant, featuring a Vietnamese 5-course set menu.
Following lunch, enjoy a brief respite before returning via motorboat to My Tho. We’ll proceed to Vinh Trang Pagoda, an architectural marvel dating back to the 19th century, adorned with numerous Buddha statues, some of which are over a century old.
We’ll then embark on a 1.5-hour journey back to Ho Chi Minh City, where you’ll be dropped off at your hotel. Dinner arrangements will be at your discretion, and you’ll spend the night at the hotel.
