From Ho Chi Minh : Authentic Mekong Experience in Ben Tre

8 hours

Easy

Experience the heart and soul of the Mekong Delta tour in Ben Tre. Cruise along canals, cycle through village paths, visit cacao and coconut farms, and enjoy a cooking class on this farm tour.
Begin your journey with a warm welcome from your tour guide at the meeting point. Transfer to Ben Tre (Giong Trom) - truly local place.

Put on your conical hat, grab some bottled water, and hop on your bicycle to ride through lush village paths lined with coconut palms and fruit trees.

Meet the friendly farmer and learn how cacao is cultivated. Pick fresh cacao pods, taste cacao honey tea made with coconut blossoms, and discover why this local honey is a certified OCOP product.

Drift along shady waterways on a traditional wooden sampan for about 20 minutes. With nipa palms on both sides, it’s the perfect way to take in local riverside life.

Stop by the Đức Mẹ La Mã Pilgrimage Center, a spiritual site with a fascinating story that turned a once-barren land into a major religious destination.

Visit one of the few remaining Southern-style wooden houses. Sip fresh coconut water, grill crispy bánh phồng and bánh tráng with your hosts, and shop for homemade specialties such as the famous coconut caramel sauce from Tamthu Ecolodge.

Return to the homestay for a cooking activity where you’ll learn to prepare bánh khọt – a local favorite. Then, indulge in a full countryside meal featuring:
- Salt-roasted giant freshwater prawns with pomelo leaves
- Grilled chicken with sticky rice
- Sour soup hotpot with bông lau fish and seasonal greens
- Fresh noodles
- Coconut ice cream paired with Alluvia chocolate from Chợ Gạo

After lunch, relax by the riverside, soaking in the peaceful scenery before heading back with sweet memories of a truly authentic farm day.
