Escape the city and discover the peaceful countryside on this full-day Mekong Delta tour to My Tho and Ben Tre, located about 90 km (2 hours) from Ho Chi Minh City. Known as “the land of coconuts,” this region is filled with lush orchards, scenic rivers, and friendly locals who make it one of Vietnam’s most authentic destinations.
Depart your hotel around 8:00 AM and enjoy a relaxing drive through endless rice paddies before reaching My Tho. From here, board a motorboat on the Tien River and cruise toward Unicorn Island (Lan Islet). Wander through a peaceful village, sample fresh tropical fruits, and enjoy traditional Southern Vietnamese folk music performed by locals. Visit a bee farm, see python snakes, and experience everyday rural life up close.
Lunch is served in a beautiful orchard garden, where you can enjoy authentic Mekong dishes surrounded by nature.
Continue your journey through Bao Dinh Canal to Ben Tre Province, famous for its coconut candy and “Garden–Pond–Cage” farming model. Watch how locals make handcrafted coconut candy, and then take a rowing boat ride through narrow canals shaded by lush water coconut trees — a truly unforgettable experience.
After your boat trip, return to the pier and head back to Ho Chi Minh City. Arrival time is approximately 4:30–5:00 PM for private tours and 6:00–7:00 PM for group tours.
