07:00 – 07:15 AM: Our guide and driver will pick you up at your hotel in Ho Chi Minh City and head to Ben Tre.
Once we get to Phong Nam Bridge, we’ll hop on a boat and cruise along the Chet Say River. The cool river breeze and the beautiful tropical islands will get you excited about all the great things we have planned.
We’ll visit different local workshops to see how people use traditional methods to make crafts, dried coconut, brooms from coconut husks, and art from coconut fibers. We’ll then take a ride around the village in a “xe loi” a kind of motorized rickshaw.
We’ll have a tasty and filling lunch at a local house.
Then, we’ll take a relaxing rowboat ride through natural canals, giving you a real feel for how pretty this area is.
Next, we’ll head to Tra Vinh province. We’ll visit the “Con Chim” community tourism site, which was built to fit in with nature, respect local culture, and promote slow tourism. We’ll have some time to bike around Con Chim Island and meet the locals to learn about their daily lives.
Finally, we’ll take the boat back to the dock and check into our hotel for some rest and relaxation.
After breakfast, we’ll visit a village known for making mats, a craft they’ve been perfecting for nearly 100 years. We’ll then explore Khmer culture by visiting Angkorajaborey Pagoda (also known as Ang Pagoda), the Tra Vinh Museum of Khmer Ethnic Culture, and Ba Om Pond. Ang Pagoda is one of 141 Khmer pagodas in Tra Vinh province, and Ba Om Pond is a famous landmark. It’s a large, rectangular pond with clear blue water, covered in lotus flowers and water lilies. There’s a very old tree with unique roots that’s a popular spot for photos.
Next, we’ll visit a company that makes coconut nectar, a traditional local product made from coconut flowers.
We’ll have lunch at a local restaurant before heading back to Ho Chi Minh City.
06:00 PM: Arrive at your hotel in Ho Chi Minh City. End of services.

Wow wow wow! It was an absolutely amazing trip! I cannot recommend this company highly enough! It was our first time to Asia and it was incredible!

It was one of my best time ever Vietnam such interesting place with culture and cuisine. I would really like to thank Lyn and Trang for arranging my holiday.

We had a two week family trip in April 2024 to Vietnam and Cambodia. It was a magical holiday full of special memories and exciting experiences. I can’t speak highly enough about the service we had..

I stumbled onto Seni World travel while looking for a holiday in Vietnam. I sent a mail and was amazed at the prompt reply i got from one of their representatives. We were in constant contact on WhatsApp until we found the best package for us. Seni did all from booking hotels, arranging local flights to arranging our Visas. All tours and transport were arranged with absolutely no problems. If you ever want to see Vietnam, do make use of this Tour operator.
