PRIVATE Mekong Delta Escape_ Ingrid & family

Itinerary:

Day 1: Cycle the Mekong Delta Ben Tre - Tra On (Homestay)
Our Grasshopper team will come to pick you up from your hotel at 7:30am/ Please look for your guide in the hotel lobby. From Saigon, it’s an 90 minute transfer by private van to the northern edge of the Delta.

We take an easy, flat ride through the shady canal paths and back roads, stopping along the way to try the fresh fruit and to have a tasty lunch. In the mid afternoon, we arrive at the home of our hosts. We then have some time to relax and unwind before taking a walk of the village and perhaps helping a little with dinner. A boat ride just before sunset is a nice way to see out the day. Overnight at our lovely homestay. Meals: LD

Day 2: No cycling or Cycle 7-10km around Tra On - Drop off Can Tho airport before 10:30am

As we wake on your final day, you will be wishing your time in the Delta not to end, but there is still time to see the floating markets for which this area has become quite well known. As most people will be headed to the chaotic main market near Can Tho, our hosts will take us to a real, local floating market where vegetables are tossed from craft to craft and a little coffee vendor boat bounces in and out of the gaps, serving strong, iced coffee to both vendors and customers. After taking some time to experience this explosion of color and activity, we return to the house for breakfast, then take to the bikes again to explore some more of those lovely canal paths where the only traffic is an occasional motor scooter or pedestrian. Or no cycling, visit local market and the town. Transfer to Can Tho airport, arrive at 10:30am. Meals: B
