Embark on a morning exploration of historic sites in Ho Chi Minh City. Visit the iconic Independence Palace, witness the architectural marvels of the Notre Dame Cathedral and Central Post Office from the French Colonial era, and delve into the poignant exhibits at the War Remnants Museum. After a local restaurant lunch, venture to the Cu Chi Tunnels, gaining insights into the harsh conditions faced during wartime. Explore the tunnel systems and enjoy special tea and cassava, a guerrilla's wartime sustenance.

This morning you'll drive south to the Mekong Delta. Known as Vietnam's rice bowl, this region is full of mangroves, sugar cane plantations, and water-logged paddies. Board a boat to sail the Ben Tre River, one of the tributaries of the Mekong. You'll visit local businesses like a brick workshop and honey farm along the way. Tour one of the coconut candy workshops Ben Tre is famous for to sample these tasty treats and learn how they're made.

Next, you'll stop at a small riverside village for tea with a family that makes hand-woven rush mats. Explore the village by bike or xe loi (motor cart) to observe daily life. You'll pass lime-green rice fields, vegetable farms, and tropical fruit orchards. Have lunch at Green Coconut Restaurant on the banks of the river before trying your hand at rowing along a creek. Afterward, head back to Ho Chi Minh City for a relaxed evening.

After breakfast, check out, and enjoy free time until our driver whisks you to Tan Son Nhat Airport for your flight to Phu Quoc Island. Upon arrival, a hotel driver takes you to your Phu Quoc retreat for a leisurely day.

Embark on an island-hopping adventure to Thom, Mong Tay, Gam Ghi, and May Rut Islands. Enjoy fishing, pristine beaches, snorkeling, and a delectable lunch on board. Each island presents a unique charm, from Thom Island's cable car to Gam Ghi's idyllic beaches. Return to your Phu Quoc hotel for relaxation.
