Why we love it?

This private 9-hour tour offers a tranquil escape from Ho Chi Minh City to the rural heart of the Mekong Delta in Ben Luc, where you can experience authentic countryside life. After visiting Ben Luc Market to gather fresh bait, you’ll board a traditional motorboat at Go Dung Pier for a scenic cruise through canals, with opportunities to fish beneath a quiet rural bridge while enjoying fresh fruits and chilled drinks. The day continues with a walk through peaceful landscapes and hands-on activities in a local coconut garden, including duck herding, canal bailing, and a cooking class preparing Vietnamese Pancake (Bánh Xèo), Fried Spring Rolls (Chả Giò), and Grilled Pork in Lalot Leaves (Thịt Nướng Lá Lốt). A home-style lunch featuring your dishes plus Lemongrass Chicken, Minced Pork Soup, and seasonal fruits follows, along with time to relax in a hammock. The experience concludes with a serene rowboat ride through nipa palm canals before returning to Ho Chi Minh City, making it suitable for travelers seeking cultural immersion and a slower pace in a natural setting.
