At 8:30AM, after leaving the hustle and bustle of Ho Chi Minh City, head towards My Tho, a town located on the left side of the Mekong River to start your Mekong Delta trip. Upon arrival, explore the Vinh Trang Pagoda, which has stood since the late 19th century. Next, board a sampan and cruise down the river to visit the four beautiful islands known as Dragon, Unicorn, Phoenix, and Tortoise Islands. 

Stop over at Unicorn Island and take a stroll around the country lane, visit orchards, and enjoy tropical fruits while listening to the local folk song music. You can also visit a fruit plantation. Ride a hand-rowed sampan through the Thoi Son canal and take in the beauty of the countryside. Visit a family-run honeybee farm, where you can enjoy honey tea and learn how to make coconut candy.

Lunch on your own.

In the afternoon, you will embark on a cycling trip around the picturesque Tan Thach village. Here, you'll have the opportunity to meet and interact with the friendly locals who reside in the village. You'll get to experience their daily life in the Mekong Delta, which promises to be a unique and eye-opening experience.

If you aren't up for cycling, you can always opt to relax on a comfortable hammock. You can soak up the cool breeze while taking in the scenic views that the village has to offer. This is an excellent way to unwind and recharge your batteries after a busy morning.

Later, take a drive to Can Tho, where you will spend the night at a hotel. Plan a relaxed evening in Can Tho to reflect on the day's experiences!
