On day 5 of our tour, our guide and driver will pick you up from your hotel and take you on a 1.5-hour drive to My Tho. Along the way, we will make a stop for refreshments and restrooms.
Upon arrival, we will board a motorboat and cruise along the canals and channels of the Mekong River, passing by the famous islands of Dragon, Unicorn, Turtle, and Phoenix. We will visit a floating fish house where villagers cultivate freshwater fish and shrimp, which are major export products of the region.
After crossing the river, we will visit a traditional workshop to learn how coconut candy and honey are made, while enjoying some samples and listening to traditional music. You can also experience hand-rowing a sampan along the canal and ride a Xe Loi to explore the local villages.
Lunch will be served at a riverside restaurant with a Vietnamese 5-course set menu. Please inform us in advance if you have any food allergies, are vegetarian, or observe Halal.
After lunch, we will board the motorboat back to My Tho and visit Vinh Trang Pagoda, an ancient architectural gem with many Buddha statues. We will then drive back to Ho Chi Minh city, where you will be dropped off at your hotel. Dinner is on your own and you will spend the night at Queen An Hotel or a similar hotel.
