Itinerary
Morning:
The trip begins via a scenic 90-minute drive across Tien Giang Province’s stunning countryside, where endless green rice paddies stretch toward horizons dotted by farmhouses. The tranquil Vam Co Dong River winds beside the route, reflecting majestic trees and water buffalo grazing in emerald fields. Arriving at My Tho City, board the motorised boat to cruise along the waterway, the nation’s agricultural heartland, supporting over 40 million people. Stop at processing sites where families demonstrate techniques passed down across five generations, turning every part of the coconut nut into food, crafts, and household products. Sample pure palm water straight from the shell while learning how fibre becomes rope, shells become bowls, and the meat becomes candy. Continue to a small island village, stroll under shady trees, and enjoy regional produce while listening to Southern folk melodies performed by residents living here.
Afternoon:
Transfer to slender rowing boats for a peaceful passage within waterways shaded by towering palms, uncovering concealed apiaries. Savour sweet tea amid waterside views before enjoying lunch featuring elephant-ear fish and crisp shrimp caught that morning. The afternoon brings opportunities for hammock relaxation beneath shade trees or horse cart rides around rural settlements. Return to Ho Chi Minh City filled with memories of calm waters and smiling faces.
