Insight Mekong Delta (Ben Tre Excursion - non-touristy) -Small Deluxe Group Tour

Depart from Saigon around 08:00 - 08:30 and head south to Ben Tre province – the hometown of coconut.

Enjoy your boat trip through small canals with some of the Mekong Delta’s most breathtaking scenery and stop-over at various local workplaces to give you a picture of how the local economy works, including brick kilns where bricks are still painstakingly made by hand; a coconut processing workshop, where you can sample fresh coconut and see how every single part of this versatile nut is turned into food and other products; and amazing visit to the local family workshop where sleeping mats made.

The boat will then stop at a quiet village where you can have a short walk to experience real Delta village life, before boarding your xe loi (a kind of motorized rickshaw) and traveling into the forest where you can visit fruit orchards before stopping at a riverside restaurant for a delicious and filling lunch, featuring such local specialties as elephant-ear fish and river shrimp, washed down with some cold drinks or beers.
