Itinerary

  1. Departing from Ho Chi Minh City, leave the hustle behind as we head to the serene Mekong Delta. Our first stop is the magnificent Vinh Trang Pagoda, a unique fusion of European and Asian architecture. Marvel at this architectural treasure dating back to the 19th century, where intricate carvings, ornate design elements, and serene gardens offer a glimpse into Vietnam's spiritual heritage and rich cultural history. Featuring the most unique architectural style in Southern Vietnam, Vinh Trang Pagoda's highlight is its triple-gate entrance adorned with intricate ceramic and porcelain mosaics. Please note: The tour includes a visit to a temple, so please dress modestly with clothing that covers shoulders and knees. (30 min)
  2. Then, we board a motorboat to cruise along the Tien River, witnessing the bustling life of local fishermen and seeing the four iconic islands: Dragon, Unicorn, Phoenix, and Turtle. This is the highlight! Step into a small hand-rowed sampan and drift through the narrow, palm-lined canals. It’s quiet, peaceful, and perfect for photos. We’ll stop at local workshops to see how coconut candy is made by hand and taste fresh honey tea right from the bee farm. Discover authentic Delta charm. Visit a fruit orchard where you'll experience local honey harvesting and enjoy refreshing honey tea tastings amid lush tropical surroundings. Continue to a traditional workshop to witness the intricate process of making the region's famous coconut candy. (2h 0min)
  3. Relax at a riverside restaurant for a proper Mekong lunch. Forget the boxed meals; we serve a hot set menu including the region's signature Deep-fried Elephant Ear Fish, spring rolls, and local soup. Walk through fruit orchards, taste fresh seasonal fruits, and enjoy a live performance of Southern Vietnamese Folk Music by the locals before a comfortable ride back to Saigon. (2h 0min)
