At around 8:00, depart Ho Chi Minh City for a short drive to My Tho. Upon arrival, meet your local guide and board a motorboat to journey along the mighty Mekong River towards Con Qui Islet.

Hop on a bicycle and enjoy a leisurely ride through the lush, unspoiled island, making frequent stops for photos and observing the daily lives of the local villagers.
Next, take a small boat as you are gently rowed along the mangrove-lined Vam Xep Canal, where you’ll pass by traditional village houses. Disembark at the “Coconut Artisan” village, where you can savor honeyed tea while exploring workshops where skilled artisans create a variety of handcrafted coconut husk and fiber products.
Then, embark on a sampan ride along the Vam Chua Canal, drifting peacefully through hidden waterways surrounded by a rich variety of tropical plants. The serene, rural atmosphere offers a perfect escape from the bustling energy of Saigon, leaving you feeling refreshed and rejuvenated.
Afterward, drive to Ben Tre, a charming and quiet town nestled in the heart of the Mekong Delta. Check into your hotel and enjoy the rest of the day at leisure. Take a stroll along the riverbank and watch the sunset over the Mekong.

Excellent company and our advisor Chloe was fantastic. Thanks to her, our guides, and drivers, our tour of Thailand was the trip of a lifetime. Thailand is a beautiful and spiritual place, and it’s people are extraordinary. Everything on the tour was amazing.
The Perfect Adventure
Thanks Winston, for our amazingly planned Vietnam adventure. You were more than terrific and attentive to our every need. I felt like we were your only clients. From the beginning and planning our adventure, your constant updates, to our changes were great. YOU were on top of everything. YOU and Asia Pioneers delivered on all levels of our trip. The adventure we were looking for, riding buffalos, 4 varied ways of fishing, food making, motorbiking on the crowded streets of Saigon and Hanoi, lantern making and of course the usual site seeing things, Winston YOU had everything covered. Last we were a bit nervous in the beginning with using Asia Pioneer Travel since we never heard of them and they being half away around the world delivered on everything. As APT says they are not the cheapest and not the most expensive But, what they needed to add was the BEST in planning, care and overall service. We love YOU Winston
recommended agency 100%
Exceptionally good service. Attention to detail and a wonderful selection of experiences and hotels. would use them again.
Private tour – Vietnam and Cambodia
We had an amazing 3 weeks in Vietnam snd Cambodia! Asia Pioneer Travel was with us every step of the way, from booking to trip completion. Our trip coordinator Maris took in all our wants and needs and designed a custom trip that met all our expectations. When flooding ruined a few days of our itinerary, Maris worked tirelessly to reschedule a flight, accommodations and daily plans. Our tour guides were excellent, and transportation was very professional. We felt safe and in control throughout. We highly recommend Asia Pacific Travel if you have Indo-China in mind for future vacations.
