Day 01

Cycling and Kayaking in the Mekong Countryside

In the morning, pick up at your hotel and transfer to Cai Be Township in the Mekong Delta, approximately 1.5 hours away.

We start our cycling adventure into the heart of the rural Mekong countryside.

While pedaling along the narrow lanes, passing through banana plantations, fruit gardens, and coconut palms, we travel through the lush green landscape of the delta, giving you a real experience of the countryside.

We take local ferries across several canals and rivers for an amazing cycling day and the chance to meet locals.

After we've thoroughly burned through some calories, we stop for lunch at a local restaurant with some special Mekong food.

In the late afternoon, we enjoy hours of kayaking through canals and around the island, where we can experience real river life. It is also a great chance to see the sunset on the Mighty Mekong River. Transfer to a local place.

That night, we learn about Vietnamese cooking with the host and prepare some dishes for dinner. Overnight at a local homestay.
