Following your riverine exploration, you'll embark on a refreshing short hike up Sam Mountain, where you'll be rewarded with breathtaking panoramic views of the surrounding delta, stretching towards Cambodia. Later, a comfortable transfer will take you through Long Xuyen and Thot Not to Can Tho.

You'll then enjoy an overnight stay in Can Tho, the largest city in the Mekong Delta.

On the final Day 3, your day begins early with a quintessential Mekong Delta experience: a captivating boat trip to the renowned Cai Rang floating market, the largest wholesale floating market in the delta. Witness the vibrant spectacle of commerce unfolding on the water, a kaleidoscope of colors, sounds, and aromas. After enjoying breakfast, you'll be transferred out of the bustling town to Binh Minh, your starting point for the final leg of cycling.
