Tour Itinerary

Arrived at the port, your guide and driver pick you up and drive to My Tho, the nearest destination of the Mekong River from Phu My port.

Your trip starts with an interesting boat ride along the picturesque Tien Giang River. Stop at Vinh Trang Pagoda, one of the most popular religious sites in the region. Famous for its important role in the spiritual life of locals, the pagoda also has impressive architecture that combines Vietnamese, Chinese, and Khmer styles.

Back to your boat and continue on to a local home with an orchard. Get a glimpse of rural life by admiring the simple architecture and sampling fresh tropical fruits you collect directly from the surrounding trees.

Next, visit the coconut candy workshop. Learn how they make a pack of tiny coconut candies, and try one to wake up your sweet tooth. Move to a honey farm where bees are building their nest. Watch farmers wearing protective gear to collect honey while these little bees are still flying around.

After that, take a sampan ride through palm-shaded creeks. Soak in the beautiful natural scenery, stop for a while to sample fresh fruit, and enjoy traditional singing performed by local Southerners.

When the sun starts to set, say goodbye to your guide and driver at the port. Your Vietnam local tour ends.
