This Ben Tre 2-Day Discovery – Sunset Cruise & Foodie Ride getaway invites you to experience the laid-back charm of Ben Tre — the heart of the Mekong Delta. Cruise along tranquil rivers at sunset, explore the local night market, and hop on a motorbike for a flavorful food adventure through the city’s lively streets. The next morning, discover the art of handmade rice paper in a peaceful riverside village before unwinding at your eco-friendly retreat. A perfect escape blending culture, cuisine, and countryside serenity.
Day 1: Saigon – Ben Tre (D)
Day 2: Giong Trom – Saigon (B)
A transfer will be arranged to drive you from Saigon to Ben Tre. Upon arrival at the meeting point, check in to your charming riverside retreat, surrounded by tranquil scenery and lush gardens.
As the afternoon fades, gather at 5:00 PM in the lobby to meet your local guide and fellow travelers. Step aboard a cozy cruiser and set sail along the calm waters of the Ben Tre River, where the golden glow of sunset paints the delta in soft hues. When you reach Ben Tre city, take a relaxed walk through the town center before heading to the lively Ben Tre Night Market, where colorful stalls, street food, and cheerful locals bring the evening to life.
After exploring the market, hop on the back of your guide’s motorbike for an exciting night ride through Ben Tre. Glide along peaceful backstreets, stop at a local eatery to try bánh xèo — crispy Vietnamese pancakes sizzling hot from the pan — and continue toward Đông Tây Street, a vibrant new hub filled with energy.
Here, make a stop at Nhà Rơm, a rustic-style restaurant serving flavorful dishes such as stir-fried beef and grilled frog for the adventurous. Then continue to another local spot to sample nướng — smoky grilled meats and vegetables — before wrapping up your evening with a sweet surprise: a refreshing Vietnamese iced coffee and dessert at a cozy café, the perfect way to end a delightful night out.
Return to your boutique resort to unwind by the riverside pool or simply relax in one of the peaceful garden corners.

Meals: dinner
Start your morning with a peaceful view of the river and enjoy a tasty breakfast at your resort before heading out for a gentle walk along a village path to visit Mrs. Sau Tuong’s home, where you’ll learn how to make traditional rice paper by hand – a craft deeply rooted in Mekong Delta culture. Try some freshly made crispy coconut rice paper and savor the authentic taste of local life.
You can spend the rest of your morning as you wish: relax by the pool, lounge in the garden, or sway gently in a hammock with a good book. If you’re feeling active, take one of the complimentary bicycles and explore the countryside at your own pace.
At noon, check out and bid farewell to the peaceful riverside. A private car will be ready to take you back to Ho Chi Minh City.
End of tour.
