Accommodation

Vietnam Motorbike Tour endeavors to select a combination of good quality hotels that reflect the character of the local area as well as being as centrally located as possible, all the while striving to keep the cost affordable. Your trip will stay in a range of hotels / guesthouses with standardized quality.

Please be aware that some hotel rooms, especially those in major urban centers or older cities, may be smaller than what you are used to in other parts of the world. Standards and ratings may also be different from your home country.

Rooms are en-suite and either twin- or triple-share, depending on what you have booked. If you are a solo traveler, you will always be sharing a room with someone of the same sex otherwise you can pay a supplement to possess a single room.

If you are traveling as a couple and would prefer to have a double bed, please officially request a double room with Vietnam Motorbike Tour. Vietnam Motorbike Tour never presumes that two people traveling together are a couple, even if you share the same surname, unless informed otherwise.

Program

Day 1: Saigon - Long An - My Tho - Ben Tre

In the morning, the 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. Some stops en route to see farmers working on paddy fields. Cross Vam Co River by ferry then ride to Go Cong then Tan Hoa (25 kilometers). Have some stops en route to visit an incense workshop, through some remote villages, and reach Tan Thanh beach for seafood lunch and relaxation. Then continue riding from this Mekong Delta beach to Ben Tre via My Tho (45 kilometers).

Check-in to homestay in Ben Tre.

Activities: 6.5 hours of riding

Day 2: Ben Tre - My Tho - Saigon

After a simple breakfast with the host, then check out and say goodbye to the host, you cruise a boat trip on the Mekong River to Phoenix Island where local handicrafts and sweets from coconut are being produced. Enjoy fresh seasonal fruits and traditional live music and songs performance.

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 short leisurely walk at Turtle Island. Lunch will be served at a local restaurant.

Disembark to ride back to Ho Chi Minh City (70 kilometers), on the way, 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 5:30 p.m., and the trip concludes at your hotels.
