OVERVIEW

Ben Tre Province, situated 1.5-hour's drive from Ho Chi Minh has some of the Mekong's most quaint scenery. Experience the true life of the delta region as you visit its fruit orchards, coconut groves and hundreds of small islands.  Spending a day away from the buzz of Ho Chi Minh City, you are sure to delight in the change of pace and unique lifestyle of the Delta's residents. 

 

 

PROGRAM DETAILS

This morning, depart at 0830 from the southern economic hub of Ho Chi Minh City to the area referred locally as "the rice bowl of Vietnam".

On arrival in Ben Tre Province head towards Tien Giang where you will board your local boat for a cruise among the aptly named Dragon, Unicorn, Turtle and Phoenix Islands. En-route, visit a small factory producing handicrafts made of coconut. Stop at Turtle Island where you will visit a tropical orchard to taste some exotic fruit.

After the boat trip, take a ride on a horse driven cart along country roads to the famed garden of Mr Tam Nen for a honey tasting session. Continue on a smaller rowing boat for a more adventurous cruise on the Xep Canal which is set amongst a forest of palm trees.

Embark once more by boat to Turtle Island where a selection of Mekong delicacies will be served for lunch. In the afternoon return to Ben Tre for a visit to Vinh Trang Pagoda before heading back to Ho Chi Minh City where you will arrive late this afternoon.
