As the sun rises, the farmers here begin their day, creating a serene morning atmosphere that's perfect for observing the local daily activities around villages. The peaceful sight of fruits being transported to local markets by mopeds or sampan boats, the gentle sound of watering the vegetables and fruits on their farmlands, and the older generation's trips to the nearby markets all contribute to a tranquil start to the day. This sense of calm is further enhanced as everyone returns to the homestay for a riverside breakfast, adding a touch of community to the peaceful morning.

We'll transfer 45 minutes to Tra Vinh for the morning ride. Pick up our bikes and explore Khmer villages, stop to meet locals working on lush farmlands, and learn how to make rice crops. Wave locals working on rice paddy fields, take it easy as you cycle on opened air paths across rice paddy fields and make many stops at local home business workshops. Experience the lifestyles and daily activities of Khmer and Vietnamese on the riverside trails, which make it possible to enjoy the greenery and fresh air through villages. Venture into Khmer hamlets, learn about Theravada Buddhism, visit the beautiful Pagodas, and encounter the stunning landscapes and vibrant countryside.

Break for lunch in a little town, then a shuttle transfer an hour to Tra On for the afternoon ride. We take a public ferry, cross the river to Luc Si Island, then continue cycling across the islands, taste seasonal fruit at local orchards, and take another ferry to the mainland, where we ride on trails alongside the Mekong River and the Can Tho suspension bridge. We hop on the van for a short transfer to Can Tho City.
