Classic Mekong Delta Bike Tour – Overnight in Thala Tra Vinh Resort

Begin the day with a private boat cruise to Cai Rang Floating Market, where local traders gather on the river to sell fresh fruits, vegetables, and farm produce. Soak up the colorful morning atmosphere before a short transfer to the Hau River and a charming local ferry crossing to Luc Si Island.

Start cycling along quiet village lanes, shady paths, and lush tropical orchards, with sections following the mighty Mekong River. Another ferry takes you to Tan Dinh Island, a peaceful, non-touristy corner of the delta. Ride through friendly riverside communities, greet cheerful children, and watch local farmers tending their orchards and harvesting seasonal fruits—a wonderful glimpse into authentic Mekong Delta life. Stop at a local restaurant for a delicious Vietnamese lunch, followed by time to relax in a hammock or stroll through the surrounding village and orchards.

In the afternoon, continue your Mekong Delta cycling adventure across the island before taking the final ferry back to the mainland and entering Tra Vinh’s Khmer countryside. Follow scenic back roads past emerald rice fields, coconut groves, picturesque canals, rustic villages, and colorful Khmer Buddhist temples.

Continue along peaceful rural lanes and canals toward Cau Ke, arriving in the late afternoon to check in at your charming countryside resort. A rewarding day of cycling from Can Tho to Cau Ke, filled with local ferries, hidden islands, welcoming communities, Khmer culture, and the timeless beauty of southern Vietnam. Enjoy a local dinner and an Apsara dance performance.

Today is a leisurely day, beginning with a gentle bike ride through local villages to discover the unique Macapuno coconut. Unlike a regular coconut, Macapuno has thick, soft, translucent, jelly-like flesh that nearly fills the shell, with very little free-flowing liquid. Its rich, creamy texture resembles thick condensed milk or soft coconut jelly.

Continue your ride to learn how local artisans create traditional Khmer masks, often seen at Khmer festivals and traditional performances. You will also discover how locals prepare Cốm Dẹp, a traditional delicacy made from young sticky rice.

After these cultural experiences, cycle back to the lodge for lunch. The afternoon is yours to relax—rest your legs by the pool while enjoying peaceful views over the lush green rice paddies.

After a leisurely breakfast, bid farewell to your welcoming host and set off on the final cycling adventure through the Mekong Delta, riding from Cau Ke toward Binh Phu.

Today’s scenic route takes you deep into the peaceful countryside, following quiet rural paths through endless rice paddies, vegetable farms, coconut groves, and traditional villages. Enjoy the refreshing open-air landscapes as you pedal alongside tranquil canals and peaceful rivers, where everyday life unfolds at an unhurried pace. Along the way, pass through lively local markets and small Khmer communities, with opportunities to admire beautiful Khmer Buddhist temples that reflect the rich cultural heritage of this part of the Mekong Delta. The combination of lush farmland, waterways, friendly villages, and quiet backroads makes this a wonderful finale to your cycling journey.

The ride concludes on the outskirts of Binh Phu, where the cycling route joins National Highway QL60. Here, load the bikes onto the support vehicles and settle in for a comfortable transfer to Ben Tre, stopping for a well-deserved lunch. After lunch, continue by private vehicle for approximately two hours to Ho Chi Minh City, bringing your memorable cycling adventure through the Mekong Delta to an end.
