Phnom Penh to Saigon by boat and bike

After a hearty breakfast, check out and take a short transfer to the outskirts of the town for our first day ride. Pedal along the Bassac River, passing muslim villages, small local markets, vegetable fields, stilt houses, and fish farms along rural paths. Join with locals on the ferry as you cross the Bassac River, then visit Ha Hoa Pagoda. Continue riding along narrow paths, crossing small bridges and waterways. Today’s ride concludes in a small town after another ferry crossing of the Bassac River. From there, transfer for about an hour to Long Xuyen for lunch.

In the afternoon, after a 1-hour shuttle transfer, we will begin our ride in Binh Thuy District. We’ll cycle through lush orchards and along winding rivers toward My Khanh Village, before transferring by vehicle to Can Tho City.

After a leisurely breakfast, we check out, load our luggage onto the support vehicles, and board a private motorboat to explore the colorful Cai Rang Floating Market. As we get through the floating market, we will see numerous boats laden with fruits, vegetables, and other goods for trade. Sellers advertise their wares by calling out across the water or by tying samples of their products to tall poles attached to their boats, allowing buyers to spot what is for sale from a distance. This is a memorable experience and an excellent opportunity for photography.

Afterward, we disembark and take a short transfer to Binh Minh. From here, we begin cycling along scenic riverside trails in Cai Ngang, stopping at local family homes and orchards to sample seasonal fruits as we pass through Khmer villages and continue deeper into Long Ho township. The afternoon ride takes us along winding rivers and canals, passing traditional brick and pottery factories on the way to the outskirts of Vinh Long on the Mekong River. We then board a private boat to cross the Co Chien River to An Binh Island, where we spend the night at a local homestay.

Say goodbye to your host as we begin our cycling journey from the homestay. Enjoy a leisurely ride to a local riverside market, following quiet back roads that wind along peaceful water channels. Along the way, pass by kindergartens and primary schools, offering a glimpse into daily local life.

Take a break at an ancient house, once home to generations of a local landlord family, where you’ll enjoy a traditional Mekong Music Show. Afterward, continue cycling along a dirt track through lush fruit orchards until reaching a local ferry. Cross over to Tan Phong Island, stopping along the way to visit family-run workshops where local snacks are made.

A second ferry takes you to Ngu Hiep Island, a region famous for its abundant durian orchards. Enjoy a relaxing ride along the Mekong River and savor fresh fruits picked directly from local gardens. After the final ferry to Tam Binh, a rural district, conclude your cycling experience. Enjoy a delicious lunch at Mekong Restop Restaurant in My Tho before a 1.5-hour transfer back to Ho Chi Minh City. Tour ends.
