Details

We pick you up from your hotel at 9 AM and take you to Ben Tre. You board your private sampan at around 11:30 AM. When you arrive, you can relax with a welcome drink and enjoy the peaceful view while the cruise heads to Phong Nam village in Giong Trom. There, you'll take a calming boat ride through small canals lined with lush green water coconut plants.

You will then experience local culture by visiting a traditional house to taste tropical fruits and chat with a local farmer. Then, you will take a bike or rickshaw ride around the village and visit the coconut spirit factory. After a delicious lunch at a riverside restaurant, we'll continue to the enchanting Mo Cay canals, where you'll see how locals use every part of the coconut at a processing workshop.

Next, you will visit a brick-making factory in Vung Liem province to learn about its history and craftsmanship. Afterwards, let’s return to the boat to freshen up for a cooking demonstration and dinner. The evening is yours to enjoy before spending the night onboard on the Co Chien River.

In the morning, you will be served breakfast on board before embarking on an adventure to explore the town of Vung Liem by bicycle. You will have the opportunity to visit the Happy Buddha Temple, a beautiful and characteristic Khmer Temple in this small town, and then continue to the Cao Dai Temple, one of the most popular local religions, combining Taoism, Buddhism, and Confucianism.

After your enriching temple visits, you will return to the comfort of the cruise to refresh. You will then check out at 10 AM and rest assured as you are smoothly transferred to Vung Liem Market. Your driver will wait to take you back to Saigon. The trip is expected to end at 2 PM.
