- Ben Tre - Begin your journey from Saigon and travel directly to Ben Tre. Embark on a private boat to take in the breathtaking views and enjoy a serene boat ride on the Mekong River.
The first destination is a local brick kiln, where you will discover the process of making clay bricks. As you proceed to other villages, you will learn about coconut charcoal, coconut fiber processing, a coconut candy workshop, and savor freshly picked fruits from a local orchard garden.
Spend more time leisurely navigating the river and cruising along a stunning creek shaded by coconut and nipa palms. Then, visit a local mat-weaving village to gain insight into the traditional sleeping mats, lifestyles, culture, and customs before choosing between a ride on a xe-lôi (motorized rickshaw) or a bicycle ride to reach a charming riverside restaurant for a delightful lunch featuring local specialties.
After lunch, enjoy a rowing boat trip along the scenic canals. Return to the car and continue to explore the Ben Tre Local Market before making your way back to Saigon.

Avoid the busy group tours to My Tho and Cai Be by opting for a private day trip to Ben Tre, a more serene part of the Mekong Delta. This area is still characterized by its coconut groves, brick kilns, and traditional river life that has remained unchanged for decades. Located approximately 1.5 hours from Ho Chi Minh City, Ben Tre provides a more genuine and less touristy experience compared to the delta’s more frequented paths.
Travelers will enjoy a sampan ride through narrow canals, observe local families crafting coconut mats and making traditional candy by hand, and visit an operational brick kiln, one of the few remaining in the area. With a private guide and driver, the itinerary is flexible: spend more time at places of interest and skip those that aren’t. This trip is ideal for those seeking an authentic glimpse into rural delta life rather than a typical tourist itinerary.
