After your guide meets you in the early morning at your hotel, travel by air-conditioned vehicle about two hours southwest of Ho Chi Minh City to My Tho, considered the heart of the entire Mekong delta region.

- Take a boat trip on the Mekong River to a workshop where handmade crafts and sweets are produced from coconuts. A short ride on a horse carriage brings you to one of the many nearby orchards, where you taste homemade honey tea, savor fresh seasonal fruits, and enjoy “Don Ca Tai Tu”
- After lunch, hop on an electric car for a leisurely driving through the countryside, soaking up the rural ambiance as you pass small villages and farms.
- Your day trip ends with the drive back to the hotel drop-off.
