The ride continues on a narrow paved road, leading you to the renowned Phong Dien floating market. Here, you'll witness a fascinating display of local commerce, observing cottage industries, timber merchants, and the lively process of rice loading and unloading from traditional boats. The route then takes you deeper into the Mekong's charm, exploring the hidden backwaters of the Delta and passing through charming towns like O Mon or Binh Thuy. After a satisfying local lunch, you'll return to Can Tho, check out from your hotel, and comfortably transfer back to Ho Chi Minh City for your departure flight, concluding an unforgettable 4-day cycling odyssey through the rich tapestry of the Mekong Delta.

This is biking at its best: passing through tiny orchards, colorful riverside life, pedaling across innumerable wooden bridges and pausing to chat with welcoming villagers. Cross a narrow canal on a local sampan and reach the main ferry, traveling like locals across the expansive Co Chien River. The final stretch of the ride is along quite roads to the charming Khmer town of Tra Vinh. Arriving early this afternoon, there is plenty of time to explore side trails. Today’s journey is a great first impression of the ‘Heart of the Mekong’. Overnight in Tra Vinh.

Today is a unique day of riding and sightseeing. Much of the area is populated by Khmer people. The regional architecture is interesting and there are many Khmer temples to stop and admire en route. Cycle as much or as little as you like, as the support vehicle is never far away. The road is peaceful, narrow and very pretty all the way to Can Tho! Pedal to Ba Om Pond with its magnificent lotus flowers and observe local women having their future predicted in the small temple nearby. En route, visit a local Buddhist Temple, that is also a school, and learn about the life of the students. Arrive late this afternoon in Can Tho, the Mekong’s largest town located at the confluence of the Can Tho and Hau Giang Rivers. Overnight in Can Tho.
Day 4: Can Tho Bike Loop – Ho Chi Minh City – Departure.
After enjoying an early breakfast, weave through the bustle of the teeming morning market and cycle along the banks of an active riverfront.

Mekong Delta Explorer

I recently returned from the "Mekong Delta Explorer" tour with Golden Trail Travel, and it was simply fantastic. From start to finish, the communication was excellent, and all our questions were answered promptly. The tour itself was well-paced, offering a perfect blend of exploration and relaxation. The boat trips through the waterways were serene, and the visits to local villages provided a genuine insight into daily life. Their commitment to responsible tourism was also evident, which I appreciated. A truly memorable experience!
