We're excited to have you join us on this adventure! We'll pick you up at your hotel at 7:30 AM. We'll kick off the day by hopping on the Hoa Dinh boat at the station to cross the Mekong River and head to Vam Ho Bridge in Tam Hiep Islet. You'll visit the district's famous organic longan garden and stroll along the local house promenade. You'll also get to hang out in a resident's home, savor some honey tea water, try various tropical fruits, and munch on some delicious sponge cake. Plus, you'll see how coconut handicrafts and palm brooms are made. After all that, you can kick back on a small sampan and row around to explore the Nipa palm tree-lined banks. Then, grab a bicycle and tour the surrounding village, where you'll learn how to make ginseng leaves (Ginseng Mist) and taste this special herbal jelly.
Later, you'll cycle around four kilometers, taking in the serene rural life among tropical gardens and small canals. We'll refuel with a delightful lunch at the Ut Trinh Homestay. Before we wrap up, we'll swing by the Coconut Shell Charcoal in Ben Tre for some fantastic photo opportunities. Then, we'll drop you back off at your hotel.
