Tour Overview

>Ben Tre is one of the most primitive provinces in the Mekong Delta, about two hours' drive from Ho Chi Minh City (Saigon). Known as the "Land of Coconuts," this place is crisscrossed by rivers and shaded by water coconuts, making it an ideal place to deeply experience life in the water towns of southern Vietnam. After heading to Ben Tre, take a traditional wooden boat along the winding river between coconut groves and orchards. On the way, you can visit a local coconut sugar workshop and watch traditional skills such as making coconut sugar, rice paper and brick kilns. You can also experience the tricycle or ride a bicycle to roam the country trails and appreciate the pastoral scenery and the simple life of the local residents.

Travel Highlights

drains into sampans along a labyrinthine network of canals

This is the most representative means of transportation in southwestern Vietnam (Mekong Delta), allowing travelers to shuttle through narrow water lanes, lined with coconut groves on both sides, reflecting a quiet and poetic picture. Those winding small canals extend among the water palm trees, like a green "maze", bringing a surprising and relaxing exploration journey.

>Visit the coconut sugar processing plant

One of the special highlights of coming to Ben Tre (Bến Tre) is that tourists can personally experience the fun of making coconut candy. In the local traditional candy workshop, you can not only appreciate the delicate hand-making process, but also actually participate in it. From shaving coconut, boiling syrup to packaging candy, every step is novel and engaging. The hot coconut candy fresh out of the oven exudes a light aroma and rich coconut taste. It will definitely make people become customers once they try it. The sweet taste will be deeply imprinted in the memory of the journey.

Dan Ca Tai Tu

Đờn ca tài tử is a unique traditional music art form in southern Vietnam. It originated from the fusion of court music and folk arts and has a history of more than a hundred years. This form of performance combines improvisation and soulful singing to express themes such as love, nostalgia, and life philosophy. The melody is gentle, melodious, and full of local emotions. Visitors can often enjoy this kind of live performance in orchards, riverside teahouses or tourist boats in the Mekong Delta. Singers dressed in traditional Vietnamese costumes, paired with traditional instruments such as Yueqin, Erhu, and Piano, play heart-stirring melodies for people.

>Vietnamese Food

When you come to southwest Vietnam, the most important thing you can’t miss is this table of home-cooked meals full of human touch. Among them, the most eye-catching and classic one is this one - fried elephant fish. The whole elephant fish is deep-fried until golden and crispy. The skin is crispy and crispy, but the meat is still tender and juicy. As soon as it is served, it stands on a special fish stand and attracts all attention like a work of art. Paired with fresh lettuce, herbs, rice paper and sauce, it is wrapped and eaten. It is full of aroma and rich in taste, making people unable to stop taking one bite after another.
