Start your tour departing from Ho Chi Minh City, the journey begins towards My Tho, a town situated on the left side of the Mekong River. Upon arrival, a visit to the historic Vinh Trang Pagoda, dating back to the late 19th century, is in store.

Next, board a sampan boat and embark on a leisurely cruise along the river, exploring four picturesque islands named Dragon, Unicorn, Phoenix, and Tortoise Islands. One of the stops is Unicorn Island, where visitors can take a stroll along country lanes, admire orchards, savor tropical fruits, and listen to the enchanting folk songs performed by locals. For a serene experience, you can opt for a hand-rowed sampan ride through the Thoi Son canal. Explore a family business, visit a honey-bee farm, and indulge in the flavors of honey tea and coconut candy during a workshop.

A delicious lunch awaits at a local restaurant, providing a well-deserved break. In the afternoon, you may cycle around the charming Tan Thach village and engage with the local villagers, gaining insight into their daily lives in the Mekong Delta. Alternatively, those who prefer a more relaxed setting can unwind in a hammock, enjoying the refreshing breeze. Finally, the trip concludes with a return to Ho Chi Minh City.
