Itinéraire

1. Embark on an unforgettable Mekong Delta Day Trip from Ho Chi Minh City, where cultural treasures and peaceful riverside life await. 07:30 AM – Pick up at your hotel in Ho Chi Minh City.

   1,5 h

2. 09:00 AM – Visit Vinh Trang Pagoda. Located in Tien Giang province and built in 1849, this iconic pagoda blends Vietnamese, Chinese, and Khmer architecture. Inside, admire its beautiful gardens and more than 60 precious Buddha statues crafted from wood, bronze, and terracotta.

   30 min

3. Afterward, board a motorboat for a leisurely cruise along the Mekong River. Cross to Unicorn Island, one of the famous Four Islands (Dragon, Unicorn, Tortoise, Phoenix). At a local bee farm, sip a refreshing cup of honey tea with kumquat, made from nectar collected by thousands of bees from longan and pomelo blossoms. Then stroll through lush tropical fruit gardens before returning to the boat. On Unicorn Island, enjoy the sounds of “Đờn Ca Tài Tử”, a traditional folk music style recognized by UNESCO as Intangible Cultural Heritage. While listening, taste a selection of fresh tropical fruits such as mango, dragon fruit, and rambutan. Next, step into a small rowing boat to glide through narrow canals lined with dense nipa palm trees. This serene journey gives you a close look at everyday delta life, where peaceful nature and the friendliness of local people create unforgettable memories.

Continue by motorboat to Ben Tre province, known as the “land of coconuts.” Visit a coconut candy workshop to see how locals handcraft this sweet specialty, and of course, taste the freshly made treats.

This nostalgic ride, once the iconic transport of South Vietnam in the 1960s, allows you to witness rural life at a slower pace. 11:30 AM – Lunch at a local restaurant.

About Hô-Chi-Minh-Ville

Hô Chi Minh-Ville, souvent encore appelée Saïgon, est le pôle animé du Vietnam : monuments coloniaux, histoire de guerre et cuisine de rue superbe.

Le 1er arrondissement concentre les principaux sites à distance de marche : la cathédrale Notre-Dame en briques rouges, l'élégante Poste centrale et sa salle voûtée, l'Opéra colonial et l'Hôtel de Ville orné. Le palais de l'Indépendance conserve ses salles telles qu'elles étaient à la fin de la guerre, et le musée des Vestiges de la guerre raconte le conflit avec une franchise saisissante.
