CCL06: Explore the Mekong Delta on Wheels(2D1N)

From $291/Pax

Overview

Mekong Delta is the lower part of the legendary Mekong River. From the Tibetan plateau, the Mekong runs through China, Myanmar, Thailand, Laos, and Cambodia before coming to the South of Vietnam. Its name in our land is “Nine Dragon River” because it’s divided into thousands of intermingled branches and rivers, and creates nine river mouths before drifting out to the Sea like the nine happy dragons of mythology. This package will introduce you to one of the world’s most brilliant cultures with friendly and hospitable people, amazing scenery, tasty food, and thousands of smiles.

Day 1: Sài Gòn – Cái Bè – Vĩnh Long: ~40km. (Lunch & Dinner)
We’ll pick you up at 7:30 a.m. from your hotel followed by a transfer to Cai Lậy, approximately 90 minutes (75km). Here you will start riding with stunning sights on paved rural roads.

On the way you will get the opportunity to travel through locally grown vegetable and exotic fruit farms such as star apple and sapodilla plantations. As you head further south along concrete canal paths, the vegetation grows denser and the streams start to look more like the larger branches of the Mekong River.
We aim to provide you with the most authentic experience possible of the region; you will visit a busy and typical Vietnamese market as well as many other surprises along the way!

Lunch will be served by a lovely family in a village with foods obtained from the nearby marketplace, and after lunch you will board a boat to An Binh Island where you will spend the night at a homestay.

Our host family lives in a typical Mekong Delta Vietnamese house, with airy rooms and an outdoor kitchen. The rest of the afternoon you will be free to walk around before sharing dinner with your host family.

Day 2: Vĩnh Long – Xẻo Quýt – Sài Gòn: ~40km. (Breakfast & Lunch)
Breakfast is served early in the morning. After that, we check out and say goodbye to your hosts. Following a short boat trip, our driver will meet you for a short transfer (1 hr) to one of the famous Mango Towns and nursery gardens in the Mekong.

Back on your bikes, you will witness colorful scenes along the riverside while pedaling past charming delta homes and villages where mango is at the core of their economy. We will cross narrow canals on a local Sampan (traditional boat) to visit one of the hidden Việt-Cộng bases in the Mekong during the Vietnam War with a lunch at a local restaurant. Transfer back to Saigon (2 hrs) to get back to your hotel around 5 or 6 pm.

HAVE A GREAT TRIP!
