• Morning: 8:30 AM our driver and his bikes will pick you up at your hotel in Ho Chi Minh city . Leave the chaos of Saigon behind by taking a local ferry through Can Gio or the southern edge of the city to avoid heavy traffic. Ride past emerald rice paddies and stop to see how traditional incense or clay bricks are crafted by hand.

• Evening: Check into a peaceful homestay hidden along a small canal. Enjoy a home-cooked dinner featuring regional specialties like elephant ear fish.

• Morning: Ride through the lush fruit orchards of Cho Lach. Board a series of rustic wooden car ferries to hop between islands in the middle of the massive Co Chien River. 
• Afternoon: Head south into Tra Vinh and Soc Trang provinces. This area is home to a large ethnic Khmer population. The architecture shifts dramatically from Vietnamese pagodas to glittering, golden Cambodian-style Buddhist temples. Stop at the famous Clay Pagoda or the Bat Pagoda in Soc Trang.
