Program
Day 1: Saigon to Ben Tre, 110 kilometers / 68 miles
In the morning, your motorbike tour will start from Ho Chi Minh City and depart to Can Duoc Market, a stunning rural market (40 kilometers). The scene changes from bustling streets with buildings and noise to peaceful rice paddles with cottages and small houses on the way, in the open air of “steel horses”.
Then, take a rural route to My Loi ferry. Have some stops en-route to see farmers working in paddy fields. Cross Vam Co river by the ferry, then ride to Go Cong, and then Tan Hoa (25 kilometers). Have some stops en-route to visit an incense workshop, go through some remote villages, and reach Tan Thanh beach for a seafood lunch and relaxation. Then, continue riding from this Mekong Delta beach to Ben Tre via My Tho (45 kilometers).
Check in to your homestay in Ben Tre. At 19:30, you have a night cruise to observe fireflies flying or hiding in the bushes of cork trees like a few natural lighting strings for decorating a Christmas tree. At 21:30, it is time for you to disembark and get back to your local house. Stay in a homestay of a local family. You will have a busy day with almost seven hours on the road.
- Activities: 6.5 hours of riding, 2 hours of the boat trip
- Meals: Lunch, dinner
Day 2: Ben Tre to Saigon, 70 kilometers / 43.5 miles
After a simple breakfast with your host, checking out, and saying goodbye to the host, you have a boat trip on the Mekong River to Phoenix Island where local handicrafts and sweets from coconut are being produced. Enjoy fresh seasonal fruits, traditional live music, and song performances.
Take a short ride on a horse carriage to a typical local house to taste some homemade honey tea. Proceed by small sampan boats through the small canals and side arms of the river to observe the daily life along the river banks with a stop and have a leisurely short walk on the Turtle Island. Lunch will be served at a local restaurant.
Disembark to ride back to Ho Chi Minh City (70 kilometers). On the way, have a short pause at Vinh Trang Pagoda to take photos of giant statues of Buddha and the ancient interior of this pagoda. Arrive in Ho Chi Minh City around 17:30 and the trip concludes at your hotel.
