About this tour
Spend two days cycling through Ben Luc Village and the Mekong Delta's backroads, staying in a local homestay. You'll paddle past fruit orchards, visit a coconut processing facility to see how every part becomes everything from oil to building materials, tour a honey farm, and join a cooking class. Meals feature regional dishes prepared fresh—breakfast and a BBQ dinner included—plus plenty of tropical fruit tastings. Transport from District 1 hotels covers the entire itinerary.

What to expect
Day one begins with a drive and boat ride into the Delta, arriving at Ben Luc Village by mid-morning. You'll spend the afternoon cycling quiet village paths past working orchards and paddy fields, stopping at the coconut workshop and honey farm. Lunch is at a local restaurant serving regional Vietnamese fare. After checking into your homestay, you'll help prepare dinner—a hands-on cooking class using fresh local ingredients, followed by a BBQ meal with your hosts. Day two starts with breakfast, then more cycling or boat exploration before returning to the city by afternoon.
Good to know
Bring padded shorts for cycling comfort. The homestay experience means basic facilities—expect simple, clean accommodation rather than luxury. Boat rides and cycling involve moderate physical activity; those with back or heart conditions should reconsider. Pregnant travellers should avoid this tour. Infants need to sit with an adult on boats.
