About this tour
Spend nine hours pedalling through the Mekong Delta's backroads, then float downstream on a tributary. You'll cycle roughly 40km across flat terrain through villages, past rice paddies and dragon fruit orchards, with a private guide steering you toward quiet corners most visitors miss. The ride's built for people dusting off their cycling legs—it scales to your group's pace. Lunch is a proper Vietnamese meal, not a tourist pit stop. Finishes with a boat journey through waterways locals actually use.

What to expect
You'll start early on a mountain bike suited to your frame. The pace is steady—designed for riders coming back to cycling after time away. Terrain stays flat and rideable; no technical sections or steep climbs. You'll roll past homes, water buffalo, and working farms, stopping to explore a dragon fruit operation and chat with locals. Around midday, sit down for a proper lunch with the group. Afterwards, swap the bike for a boat. The tributary cruise lets your legs rest while you watch the landscape shift from agricultural to purely waterborne—narrow channels, palm-lined banks, and the rhythm of river life.
Good to know
Minimum two guests required. Moderate fitness essential—spinal injury, pregnancy, or cardiovascular concerns make this unsuitable. Bring sunscreen and a hat; flat terrain means little shade. Public transport options exist nearby if plans change. Insurance and tips aren't included in the price.
