Overview
DISCOVER THE RHYTHM OF THE RICE BOWL
Unplug from the high-octane energy of Ho Chi Minh City and surrender to the rhythmic pulse of the "Rice Bowl of Asia." Our 3-Day Mekong Delta Bicycle Trip is a masterclass in slow travel, meticulously designed to take you into the emerald heart of Vinh Long and Can Tho. This is not just a tour; it is a sensory awakening where the road is defined by water, and the landscape is a tapestry of fruit orchards, ancient canals, and smiling faces.
Over three spectacular days, you will trade the roar of motorbikes for the gentle rustle of coconut palms. You will navigate shaded village paths where the branches of exotic fruit trees bow over the trail as if to greet you. From the peaceful island sanctuary of An Binh to the bustling water-world of Can Tho, this journey offers an unrivaled perspective of Southern Vietnam that only the seat of a bicycle can provide.
We avoid the busy highways entirely, opting instead for a labyrinth of secret lanes and canal-side tracks that lead to the very soul of the Delta. You won't just be a spectator; you'll be a guest—staying in a traditional island homestay, participating in local cooking classes, and witnessing the sunrise trade at the legendary Cai Rang Floating Market. Join Golden Cycling Tours for a perfectly paced expedition that reveals the authentic, unhurried spirit of the Mekong.

Your adventure begins at your hotel in Saigon, where you will be met by the Golden Cycling Tours team. After a brief orientation to get you comfortable with your gear, we leave the urban sprawl behind in our support van. Our journey starts in Tan An, the true gateway to the Delta.
As we mount our bikes, the air changes instantly. We pedal through peaceful villages and sprawling rice fields that stretch to the horizon in a sea of emerald. A highlight of this morning is witnessing the harmonious life of the Delta’s animals—watch as massive water buffaloes and flocks of ducks share the same waterways in a scene from a bygone era. After a rustic lunch en route, we continue our cruise toward Cai Be. The climax of the day is boarding a private boat to cross the expansive Mekong River to reach Binh Hoa Phuoc village. We check into our island sanctuary and end the day with a splendid dinner of delectable local dishes, prepared with ingredients fresh from the surrounding gardens.
