— What You Can Expect —
Gather at the meeting point at 7:00 am and begin your 1-hour transfer to the start of the cycling experience. Stop off at a well-loved local cafe for coffee and your bike fitting. Rest assured knowing your bicycle is properly fitted and you are acquainted with it.
The first segment of the day’s journey features lightly trafficked, mostly paved country roads, protected from the sun by attentive lines of coconut trees. After 15 km of this landscape, you will arrive at the first river crossing, which is a tributary of the Mekong River. While waiting for the local ferry, refuel with a healthy snack and some cold water.
Enjoy the next segment’s cycling as it is relaxed and non-technical. If you are tired, choose to take a shuttle to the finishing destination in lieu of continuing to ride. Transport vehicles and a private shuttle will be standing by to ensure that you always have the support you need to thoroughly enjoy your day.
Meet up at different riverside stops, for a relaxing 1-hour tour on a private boat along one of the most beautiful waterways. Head to a local restaurant and be treated to authentic Mekong cuisine and drinks. Refresh with a cold shower before your boat carries you to a charming Mekong farm-stay.
After breakfast at the homestay, take a 30 min boat trip to Coconut island. Cycle for the first 40 km of the journey on unique gravel and concrete trails through coconut plantations and lemon grass fields. Pass through charming Mekong Delta villages and cycle past traditional delta-style homes that have been used as communal family residences for generations.
Then take a ferry to the Mekong River’s estuary and cycle for 10 km along the muddy beach where the locals farm for clams. Stop for lunch at a seaside restaurant before the bus takes you back to Saigon.
