DAY 1: HO CHI MINH CITY TO MEKONG DELTA: MY THO - BEN TRE - CAN THO

08.00am, Mekong Delta tour from Ho Chi Minh 2 days - travel by coach/car to My Tho.
9:30am - 10.00am, arrive in My Tho. Board a wooden motor boat (20 minutes) to Unicorn Island. On this boat along the river’s bank, you’ll be passing through natural creeks, interesting fisherman's port; stilt houses (half on land, half on water).
From there, we’ll take you to a bee farm where you have a chance to taste a tasteful cup of authentic honey tea. After that we walk around quiet villages and watch the life of rural people in Mekong Delta.
Things get small and personal now. We are divided into many groups (if you take group tour) and get on small row boats. During this 15 minutes trip, you’ll witness all kind of interesting transportation modes that local people use to move around, while enjoying the fresh air along the canal and beautiful water coconut tree scenery. Away from the city, that is it all about!
When you feel it's enough for the serenity, let's get back to the large motor boat for something different. You'll cruise a canal whose 2 long sides are orchards (seasonable orchards). After that, we cruise to a village where the sweat smell coconut candies are in the air. To satisfy your curiosity, we'll get to a village that has many small shops that make coconut candy and handcrafted items from coconut trees of Mekong Delta. You might learn that those people can amazingly make dozens of useful products out of coconut trees. It is indeed inseparable from the villagers' life.
After that, you visit Phoenix Island (Coconut Monk Temple, Crocodile farm, Ostrich…)
Now let's have a lunch the restaurant.
One of the boat’s stops during this trip is at a seasonable orchard that has many different types of tasty tropical fruits for your enjoyments. You can enjoy the fruits for free while checking out the folk music that is typical to only the people in Southern Vietnam.
You will return to My Tho by motorized boat and then visit Vinh Trang pagoda. Visiting Vinh Trang Pagoda, which is known as "the largest pagoda in Tien Giang", you will be able to see firsthand a unique spiritual architecture that perfectly combines both Western and Eastern styles. After this, our coach takes you to Can Tho.
Check-in hotel and stay overnight in Can Tho.
