We start the morning by picking up our bikes from the homestay and setting off on an exciting countryside adventure. A local ferry boat takes us across the Mekong River to Cao Lanh’s rural villages, where we cycle along smooth concrete paths, immersing ourselves in the region's authentic charm.

As we ride through the wetlands, we experience local life up close, passing lush mango orchards, stilt houses, and scenic riverside views. A ferry crossing brings us to the islands, including Cu Lao Gieng, one of the largest and oldest parishes in the Mekong Delta. Established in 1874, this historic site was the first monastery built in Indochina. We take a short break to explore the area on foot, admiring the colonial-style architecture.

In Dong Thap where annual floods mark the seasons, we witness the last rice harvest before the waters rise. Leaving the island via a newly built bridge, we enjoy a delightful lunch in a small town before transferring by van for an hour to the  Bassac River.

The afternoon ride takes us along the riverbanks, through Cham Muslim villages and picturesque countryside. A final ferry ride brings us to Chau Doc, concluding an unforgettable day of exploration in the Mekong Delta.
