    Cruising along the waterways was a fantastic way to soak in the scenery, and biking through lush paths allowed me to get up close with local life; however, the lunch stop could have been a little more organized.

    We spent an incredible day exploring the Mekong Delta, starting with a scenic boat ride in My Tho that brought us right into the heart of the vibrant local life. Pedaling through Ben Tre on bicycles was a highlight, as we encountered friendly villagers and lush coconut groves at every turn. The chance to taste fresh fruits and traditional snacks while learning about local farming practices made the experience even more immersive. Although we appreciated the deluxe elements, like a comfortable boat and knowledgeable guide, the cycling route could have been better marked to avoid a few detours. Overall, it was a fantastic way to connect with the region’s culture and natural beauty. We left with wonderful memories and plenty of photos that captured the delta’s charm. If you’re seeking an authentic adventure away from the hustle and bustle of the city, this is definitely worth considering.
