Full Itinerary
7:00 Pick you up at the hotel and take you to Mo Cay, Ben Tre.
The first destination is a vibrant food market where locals regularly go shopping. Beginning with the rice part, move on to the fish and seafood sector, where you may see a lot of live fish, frogs, shrimp, and crabs. The meat and vegetable sections are located next to the fish section. Within two days of being harvested, vegetables are sold in the market, keeping them extremely fresh. The section of fruits and flowers towards the back of the market is where you can smell the stringiest fruit, durian. You could attempt a little piece of durian if you are sufficiently daring. Riding on a village’s public transportation system without any tourists. Enjoy the clean air and breathtaking views from the river.
Along the way, you can ride on tuk-tuks, paddle boats, and other vehicles.
Before you have lunch, our guide will take you to a local craft where a broom is made from coconut sticks. You will get the opportunity to interact with a lot of dependable and laid-back female professionals.
Take pleasure in home-cooked food, including grilled fish, spring rolls, fried rice, and shrimp. No concerns if you require cuisine that is vegan, vegetarian, Halal, or fits a specific diet. If you let us know in advance, we will make a dinner per your instructions. Vietnamese-style handmade lunch will be served to you. Participate in enjoyable events and talk to locals in person!
After a hearty and pleasant lunch, you can find yourself relaxing on a hammock in the company of coconut trees. If you still have the energy, you may learn how to climb a coconut tree or catch fish using a fish nest.
