Overview

The blanket of green that makes up Ben Tre Province is a welcome site to tourists coming from the urban jungle of Ho Chi Minh City. Ben Tre is famous countrywide for its coconuts; a relaxing sampan boat ride on this Ben Tre Boat Tour will float past verdant rows of bending coconut trees, stopping occasionally to watch the production of unique handicrafts made completely of coconut.

On the Ben Tre Boat Tour, we glide across the beautiful backwaters of Ben Tre Province by sampan boat and kayak, with time to cycle around the humble villages as well. There is no better excursion into nature from Ho Chi Minh City than the cool breeze, exotic tropical islands and utter serenity that falls upon Ben Tre.

Itinerary

Boat trip in Mekong

Boat trip in Mekong

 Activities: Enjoy the Mekong boat trip, explore the hidden land by kayaking and biking. Learn more about the local life.

07.30 – 08.15 AM: We will pick you up at your hotel in Ho Chi Minh City and begin our Ben Tre Boat Tour

We arrive at Ham Luong dock and begin our cruise across the Luong River, a run-off of the Mekong River, with its tropical scenery of palm trees flanking the waterway.

We dock in several places and discover some of the local crafts and food of Ben Tre Province. Naturally, a lot of these involve inventive uses for coconuts, such as desiccated coconut, coconut candies, brooms made of coconut shells and artisans who use coir (coconut fibre) to create practical house objects as well as stunning art. We take the local vehicle, the Xe Lôi, along beautiful village roads before climbing into our kayaks and paddling out through the verdant tropical canal. 

We will stop for lunch at a local house and you can experience first-hand the lives of local people in Ben Tre. 

Take some free time to soak up the beauty of the countryside in any way you like. Just relax amid the tall coconut trees or opt to cycle around the village.

Our last stop of Ben Tre Boat Tour will be a trip to a local fruit plantation where we have the opportunity to enjoy all the fruity delights of Ben Tre. Our local sampan boat will return to Ham Luong dock and we will board the bus back to Ho Chi Minh City.

You will arrive in Ho Chi Minh City at about 17.30.

Our sincere thanks for joining us for the Ben Tre Boat Tour, we hope to see you again!
