We will depart at 08:00 from the hotel and have a full day to explore the dynamic city of Saigon. A shuttle will take us to the Museum of Traditional Vietnamese Medicine. You can watch a short film in this unique institution to learn more about traditional Vietnamese medicine and its rich history. The museum's collection of items, objects, and valuable documents is a testament to the country's traditional healing practices.

After a delicious lunch in the city center, we'll visit some historic sites related to the Vietnam War. From the Central Post Office to the Independent Palace and War Remnants Museum, then we'll walk down Dong Khoi Street, passing the Continental Hotel, Opera House, and City Halls.

Depart at 8:00 a.m, leave the bustling city behind, and venture into the heart of the Mekong Delta Rice Bowl. After 2 hours, travel by shuttle on the freeway over the vast countryside, a serene landscape that will instantly put you at ease. We'll pick up our bikes as you arrive in Tam Binh village by the Mekong River in Tien Giang. We'll share space with locals on a ferry boat to Ngu Hiep Island and start cycling pathways down the villages, through the dense orchards, and sometimes along the rivers. The next ferry boat will bring us to Tan Phong Island; we'll continue cycling through Tan Phong, greeting with a loud welcome, innocent smiles, and waving hands along the country roads. We'll have another ferry boat take us to Cai Be Township. Stop for lunch at a typical ancient house in the delta- three partial wooden houses.

Following lunch, we'll board the Cai Be Princess boat and cruise along the Cai Be waterways; we will make a stop at the small village by the river that produces local snacks, handicrafts, and rice paper. Afterward, rest on the boat and taste coconut milk while cruising the Mekong. As the boat enters the Dong Phu canals, we'll have an opportunity to see local lives along the waterways. Dong Phu canals are artificial to make a shortcut for waterways instead of a way loop An Binh island. It's busy, and this is a chance you experience life on rivers. Numerous wooden cargo boats using long-tailed engines move up and down the canals. The boat trip takes about 1.5 hours and it will end in Vinh Long City, where the shuttle awaits. We'll transfer an hour to Can Tho City.

In the morning, we'll see the bustling floating markets by boat, about 45 minutes from the hotel. Cai Rang is a maze of merchant sampan boats. Women in traditional conical hats sail by on wooden boats filled with fresh farm products and commodities ready to sell in this market. We then take a bicycle ride through the vibrant countryside of Can Tho. Enjoy pleasant cycling along the rivers, farming canals, and amazing waterways network in the rural District of Can Tho. We'll pass scenic areas and several charming villages. Sometimes, we cycle along the rivers, racing with sampan boats.

Visit Binh Thuy Ancient House—Duong Chan Ky built it and extensively renovated in the French colonial style in the early 20th century. The house was the main set in the 1992 film adaptation of "The Lover" about an elderly Chinese and a French lady fall in love, directed by Jean-Jacques Annaud. Afterward, we'll transfer to Long Xuyen for lunch and stop at Blue Sky Crocodile Land before 1.5 hours driving to Chau Doc.

Enjoy breakfast and watch the lively local activities in the Ba Sac River from the Victoria Hotel. Just a 5-minute walk from the hotel to the pier—Basa fish statue—we'll take a sampan trip on the Basac River, explore the life of villagers who live on the floating village and floating fish farms, and resume cruising to Cham village, where we will experience the daily lives of Muslim people. Enjoy walking around the village, and visit temples and mosques. Muslim minorities have migrated to the Mekong Delta from Malaysia over the centuries. They live mainly in agriculture, weaving traditional clothes, and fishing. This is an opportunity for us to experience how the Cham people earn a living,  how to make sarong clothes and learn about their culture.

The floating village and fish farms are built on two boat hulls, many built on emptied plastic barrels. Underneath, a 2-metre-deep wood and wire cage covers the entire bottom of the houseboat. Each cage is estimated to house some 300,000 fish. We'll return to Chau Doc town for lunch and then back to the hotel to rest. 

At 2:30 p.m., we will take the shuttle to Tra Su Forest and take a boat ride to explore the wildlife and the forest. It's the right time to see numerous kinds of birds fly home. These wetlands attract many birds, including storks, egrets, cormorants, peafowl, and water cocks. Afterward, we hop on our bikes and venture through this forest, cross over some canals, pass gorgeous lotus paddies and farm shelters, and enjoy views of gorgeous rice paddies and the stunning scenery of Sam Mountain. The ride will end up cycling at the colorful Huynh Dao pagoda and returning to the hotel to enjoy the sunset by the pool.
