After breakfast, bid farewell to your host and begin your cycling journey for the day. Pedal through scenic rice paddies, where the vibrant greens of the fields stretch endlessly into the horizon. Your first stop is a local home, where coconut fiber is crafted by hand using age-old techniques—offering a rare and authentic insight into traditional rural craftsmanship.

Continue along quiet country backroads, weaving through lush farmland. This stretch is all about soaking in the peaceful surroundings. Ride past neat rows of vegetable gardens, follow narrow creeks, and take in the serene beauty of the countryside on your way to Cang Long. Along the way, make several short stops, including a visit to a beautiful Khmer pagoda—a reflection of the region’s rich cultural blend.

Follow riverside trails to Tra Vinh and visit the Wax Coconut Museum, a distinctive site that celebrates the local coconut heritage. The museum showcases the history and cultural significance of the wax coconut tree in the region. Among its highlights is the very first wax coconut tree brought to Vietnam in 1924 by Venerable Thach So from Cambodia and planted at BotumSakor Pagoda. The museum also features artifacts, images, and documents that reflect the importance of this tree to the local Kinh, Khmer, and Hoa communities.

After your visit, enjoy a speciality lunch at a nearby restaurant. In the afternoon, transfer by vehicle to Soc Trang, crossing the new bridge that spans the Mekong River over Dung Island—a perfect chance to admire sweeping river views. Upon arrival, stop to explore the famous Bat Pagoda, known for its tranquil grounds and resident fruit bats. Afterwards, check in to your hotel and enjoy dinner at a well-known local restaurant with your guide.
