With its stilted villages and scenic farms, the Ben Tre tour offers enough to see that it’s difficult to see the highlights on a day trip from Ho Chi Minh, especially on your own. But this guided tour makes it possible: Visit a family home, boat through canals, and upgrade to include a bike tour. A small group size means plenty of time to ask questions.

Ho Chi Minh
Today’s tour will begin at 08:00. Leave the busy streets and modern buildings of Ho Chi Minh City behind on this Ben Tre day trip. Following breakfast, drive south of the city to the Mekong Delta, a remarkable agricultural area referred to as ‘the rice bowl of Vietnam’.
On arrival in Ben Tre Province, board a local boat for a first glimpse of life on the Mekong Delta’s maze of waterways. Cruise among the river islands which have whimsical names such as Dragon, Unicorn, Turtle, and Phoenix Islands. En-route visit a small factory producing handicrafts made of coconut – a material found in abundance in the Mekong region. Also, visit Turtle Island to explore an orchard and taste its fresh, tropical fruits.
Then switch gears and travel by horse-driven cart for a different perspective. Cruise along country roads to a lush garden. Taste the honey that is harvested by the residents and famous throughout Vietnam.
Return to the waterways, this time using a rowing boat. Taking advantage of this boat’s smaller size, cruise up the narrow Xep canal which is set amongst a dense grove of palm trees.
Following this Delta adventure, return to land for lunch. Before returning to the big city, stop at Vinh Trang Pagoda. This massive Buddhist pagoda boasts impressive architecture and an incredible collection of statues, including a life-size jade image.
Return to Ho Chi Minh City late this afternoon, filled with fantastic memories of a day in the Delta. (L)

John was an excellent guide. He gave a lot of information and context during the tour. He took great care of everyone and ensured everyone was comfortable and didn’t feel any pressure at any point in the tour.
I know we were time constrained but I would only suggest giving a little more time for shopping after the river boat ride since many of my group had to get rushed to the boat while shopping.
Overall, the tour exceeded my expectations. Everything and every aspect was very well planned and executed. Like a well oiled machine. I would highly recommend this day trip and consider yourself lucky if you get John! – Ms. Angle
