Highly recommended! - Really fantastic trip which we could not find a single fault with. Very helpful communication prior to the trip to help rearrange due to shortfall in minimum group numbers. Phuc was a fantastic host, funny and considerate. We had a short visit to Cai Be and then cycled 25km along the amazing canal side paths, had a beautiful local lunch and finished off with a boat/ kayak trip. Great value for a full day 7am-6.30pm with no uncomfortable tourist traps whatsoever. Highly recommended.

Best tour I've experienced, must do if you enjoy outdoor activities - What a fantastic tour! Can't say enough great things about this tour. Phouc was our guide through the whole day. He was attentive and answered all of our questions about the local people, the Mekong Delta area, and Vietnam in general. Excellent guide!
After the drive from HCMC, our first stop was an open market where we got to see where the locals do their daily shopping. No other tourists in sight! Our guide explained all the various foods on display, how they're used, and their flavors.
While winding through the market we ended up at our large boat that would take us to deeper parts of the Delta. We got to drive the boat for a little bit (great picture opportunity), on our own way to the kayaking destination. Once there we had to paddle for a bit through the choppy waters of the main river but eventually it led to calmer waters. It was quiet and tranquil, with the silence being broken by the sound of native birds making their calls. We then paddle a bit through the main river and then back on board the boat.
The bike ride was a wonderful experience as we got to ride through the quiet neighborhood of the locals.
Mostly concrete paths, with some parts being gravel.
Can't recommend this tour enough!

Getting local with the locals - Off the beaten path is what we were looking for and that we got that and some more! A full day filled immersed in local culture and seeing the villagers go about their regular day. I truly left with more of an appreciation of how hard the Vietnamese work and how happy they are. From driving the boat down the Mekong river and biking through the local plantations with all the locals greeting us with a “hello” this was one of my favorite off the beaten path with no other tourist trips so far. Phuc was friendly, knowledgeable and over all a fun guide to spend a Saturday with.

Great Trip to Mekong Delta. - We had such a fun time with Phuc! It is an adventure. As advertised, we didn’t see any other tourists. The biking was hot but fun. We loved riding on the Mekong River and the kayaking was really neat. Would definitely recommend if you want an active tour away from the normal tourist attractions.

HIGHLIGHT of our trip! - We had the absolute BEST TIME on this day trip outside of Saigon! Seriously, it was a highlight of our trip. The kayaking was so relaxing and fun but the bike trip was our favorite! This was not a touristy experience at all, we had a true fun adventure biking through the countryside. It was so much fun, tbh it was the most fun bike ride we’ve ever taken. What really made our trip perfect was our guide Bao! He was so fun and funny and took pictures for us, constantly checking to make sure everyone was still with the small group. He was an absolute delight of a person and I cannot recommend this trip highly enough!!!!

A great day out on the Mekong! - We had a fantastic day out with Lee. The tour was exactly as advertised. We experienced a taste of the real way of life on the Mekong by boat, kayak and bike off the beaten track with excellent lunch and local fruits along the way. Lee shared his insights and knowledge all day and we learnt so much in a short space of time. Highly recommended!

Fabulous day. Well worth doing! - Well organised and fulfilling experience. Lee was really interesting with excellent knowledge of the areas we visited. The kayaking was peaceful with a welcomed stop for cold drinks. The bikes were top quality and we rode for around 10k on an easy and beautiful route. This day was one of my favourites of my 2 week holiday.

Active and Local Day In The Mekong Delta - Punctual pickup and well organised program taking us to very local wet markets, local waterways and bike paths, away from the touristy area. Phuc shared lots of information and took care of everything efficiently. A very active and full on day.
