Cycling the Heart of the Mekong

Experience the authentic rhythm of river life by exploring the Mekong Delta on two wheels. Unlike bus tours that stick to the main highways, our curated bike tours take you deep into the countryside along narrow concrete paths known as 'monkey bridges' and village lanes inaccessible to cars. You'll pedal past endless emerald rice paddies, stop at family-run coconut candy workshops, and wave to locals in riverside hamlets. Whether you choose a leisurely day trip to Ben Tre or a multi-day adventure to Can Tho's floating markets, cycling offers an immersive way to touch, smell, and taste the real Vietnam. The terrain is wonderfully flat, making these tours accessible to riders of all fitness levels.

Highlight of our Vietnam trip

We did the 2-day tour to Can Tho and it was incredible. The cycling was easy and flat, mostly along canals where we saw how people really live. Our guide Dat was funny and knowledgeable. The floating market at sunrise is a must-see.

Authentic and fun

Booked the Ben Tre day tour. Great value. The bike ride was about 15km total, broken up by fruit tasting and a boat ride. It felt very safe, even for someone who hasn't biked in years. The lunch at the local home was the best meal we had in Vietnam.

Beautiful scenery, hot weather

The landscape is stunning, rice fields forever! Just be prepared for the heat. The bikes were Trek mountain bikes in good condition. The ferry crossings were a fun local experience.

Excellent guide and route

We chose the 'Non Touristy' option and it lived up to the name. Saw almost no other tourists on the bike paths. The stop at the brick kiln was fascinating. Highly recommend booking the speedboat option to save time traveling from Saigon.

Great family activity

Took my two teenagers. They loved the adventure of the narrow paths and the boat rides. The guide was great with the kids and ensured we were safe at road crossings. A perfect break from the city chaos.

Good bikes, lovely locals

The cycling is relaxed. You ride through people's backyards basically! Everyone waves and says 'Hello'. The floating market was a bit touristy but the biking part was 100% authentic.

The best way to see the Delta

Don't take the bus tour, take the bike tour! You smell the flowers, feel the humidity, and interact with people. We did the 3-day deep dive and it was worth every penny.

Superbe expérience

Very well organized. Pick up from District 1 was on time. The biking pace was leisurely. We stopped for sugar cane juice and fresh fruit. A true taste of the Mekong.
