Your journey begins on Day 1 as you delve into the heart of the delta, cycling through charming local villages and along picturesque canals. You'll pause at Cai Be for a delightful lunch at a French colonial-style villa, soaking in the architectural heritage. The afternoon sees you continuing your bike ride towards Vinh Long before a comfortable bus transfer takes you to Can Tho for your overnight stay.

Day 2 starts with an early morning immersion into the delta's iconic lifeblood: a captivating boat ride to the renowned Cai Rang floating market in Can Tho.

Further boat exploration through smaller canals and a visit to a local orchard for tropical fruit tasting offer intimate glimpses of local life. The day's cycling continues along peaceful river banks, guiding you through bustling local markets, before reaching Soc Trang, the spiritual capital of the Khmer religion. Here, you'll have the opportunity to admire beautiful Khmer pagodas and perhaps meet some of the revered monks, settling into town for the night.

After a ferry crossing, you'll bike to Xeo Quyt via a verdant green islet and continue cycling into the unique Xeo Quyt evergreen Cajeput forest. A small boat trip will take you deeper into the forest to discover fascinating vestiges of an old army base. A further 15 km of biking brings you to Thanh My village, from where you can choose to cycle another 22 km on a main road or enjoy a van transfer for the remaining 20 km to Cao Lanh. The day concludes with a visit to the Tomb of Junior Doctor Nguyen Sinh Sac before an overnight stay at the tranquil Dong Thap Muoi Park Guesthouse.
