Are you ready to turn your hobbies into a business?
Skip the crowded group buses to My Tho and Cai Be — this private day trip takes you to Ben Tre, the quieter side of the Mekong Delta, still shaped by coconut groves, brick kilns, and river life that hasn’t changed much in decades. About 1.5 hours from Ho Chi Minh City, Ben Tre offers a more authentic, less touristy alternative to the delta’s more-visited routes.
You’ll glide through narrow canals by sampan, watch local families weave coconut mats and make traditional candy by hand, and stop at a working brick kiln — one of the few still operating in the region. With a private guide and driver, the pace is entirely yours: linger where it’s interesting, skip what isn’t. Best suited for travel...

Ben Tre
Depart from Saigon and head straight to Ben Tre. Board a private boat to enjoy the most spectacular view and relaxing boat trip on the Mekong River.
Your first stop is a local brick kiln where we’ll learn how clay bricks are made. Continuing to other villages, you’ll learn about Coconut charcoal, coconut fiber processing, coconut candy workshop and freshly picked fruits from a local orchard gardern.
You’ll spend more time meandering down the river and cruising a long beautiful creek covered with shady Coconut, Nipa palms then stop to visit local mat-weaving village to learn more about the localsleeping mats, traditional lifestyles, culture, and customs before hopping on a xe-lôi (motorized rickshaw) or enjoying a bicycle ride to reach a nice riverside restaurant for a delicious lunch with local delicacies.
After lunch, you’ll experience the rowing boat trip along the picturesque canals. Come back to the car and continue to visit Ben Tre Local Market before heading back to Saigon.
