Tour Overview
This tour will immerse you in the culture of Vietnam’s Mekong Delta region while introducing you to the cultural factors that make the area unique. Not only will you be exposed to the coconut plantations, local villages, and mouth-watering southern delicacies that all of Mr Biker Saigon’s Mekong tours visit, but you’ll also get to see another side of life in the Mekong – the culture of the Khmer, one of Vietnam’s minority tribes. The route taken by this tour is almost entirely flat and mostly paved. Because of those facts, it’s a good opportunity for beginner riders to go on a longer adventure. The 4-day itinerary will give them a lot of time to practise, and by the time they finish they may just be ready to graduate to intermediate level!

You will be picked up from your hotel at 7:30 am and transferred 75 minutes by bus to the Mekong city of My Tho. Founded in 1680, My Tho City has remained an important regional city due to its historical and cultural site, and prime river and agricultural location.
After your transfer, you will have time to enjoy a light breakfast and refreshments, while the Mr. Biker staff ensures your bikes are all adjusted for your comfort on the ride. To start your ride the guide will lead you through the winding fruit farms in the area. These include exotic fruits such as star apple, sapodilla, and mangos, if you keep an eye out, you might even have the opportunity to buy the fruit fresh from farm stalls.
As you ride on down the concrete canal paths, the vegetation becomes denser and the smaller tributaries merge into larger branches of the Mekong River. As a rest stop, you will be able to visit a local Vietnamese market selling locally grown produce.
After a traditional local lunch in a village restaurant, you will go by boat to your home for the night, An Binh Island. On the island, you will have an afternoon free to walk around and explore this charming garden island at your leisure. With beautiful river views, the Island homestay is the perfect place to relax after a day of exploration and adventure.

Today's route will take you past colourful riverside scenes, where you will be able to watch day-to-day Mekong life. Riding through typical Mekong villages, you will pass many charming houses and smiling faces. At the end of this segment, you will board a ferry and cross the wide Co Chien River. The Co Chien river runs for 82 km, through several Mekong provinces, while on the ferry you will be able to sit back, relax and enjoy the refreshing river breeze.
A delicious Mekong-style lunch will be served at a local restaurant before cycling through a peaceful and beautiful water coconut plantation. At the end of the day's ride, you will arrive at a ferry crossing. The ferry crosses over one of the main branches of the Mekong River, to Tra Vinh town.
