Day 1: Ho Chi Minh City to Cai Be - Vinh Long

Ride 50 km (L, D)

Since we aim to provide you with the most authentic experience possible, we begin with a quick 45 minutes transfer from your hotel in Ho Chi Minh to My Tho, in the heart of the Mekong Delta.  We start pedaling on paved rural roads through exotic fruit orchards such as star apple and sapodilla plantations.  Further south along concrete canal paths, the vegetation grows denser and the streams merge into the larger branches of the Mekong River.  Rest stops are a visit to a busy local Vietnamese market as well as many other surprises along the way!  

Lunch will be served by a lovely family in a village with foods obtained from the nearby marketplace.  Afterward, we board a private boat to An Binh Island where we have the afternoon free to walk around or relax by the homestay

Day 2: Cai Be - Vinh Long to Can Tho 

Ride 50km (B, L)

After a healthy breakfast, we begin a special day, part on the river and part on the bike. First a boat exploration of the canal system of the Mekong that was once a super highway during the Vietnam War.  Next, we pedal into what for many in our cycling family is the most magical landscape of their Southeast Asian adventures.  Far from any tourists, we cycle into one of the untouched and authentic areas of Vietnam where local traditions still take priority in the daily lives of its residents. You will feel like you are in the middle of nowhere, alone with your bike, transported to another era when the world seemed simpler. As cyclists, we are blessed to be able to respectfully observe and participate in their daily life among the electric green rice fields and towering coconut trees. We will also have the unique opportunity to explore the ancient history, culture and architecture of the Khmer people, one of Vietnam’s 54 ethnic groups. Throughout the day, we will see temples and relics dotting the horizon. 

Arriving at our lunch destination, we will welcome a respite from the sun with a locally- sourced meal prepared by a local family in Tieu Can Town who will share their rich history.  After lunch, we will transfer for 1 hour in a comfortable A/C-equipped vehicle to a hotel in Can Tho. Be sure not to miss out on its rooftop views from restaurants in the city center!

Day 3 - Can Tho Floating Market and return to HCM

Ride 30km (B, L)

After an early breakfast, more adventure awaits!  Departing Can Tho, we will take an hour boat ride to explore the famous Cai Rang floating market.  After pursuing the vendors’ wares, we will hop on the bikes and head off along the river.  The paved but isolated country roads host great views of more of the region’s colorful fruit orchards, often overhanging the paths.  After lunch, we will relax and transfer back to Saigon about 3 hrs drive.

Things to think about:

Even though we provide modern bikes and safety gear, we understand that sometimes customers wish to have their own personal items. We would suggest customers bring their own helmet and cycling gloves for comfort and out mechanics can even fit customer own seats and pedals. All bikes will be labelled with customers’ name so that they have the same bike each day and alloy smooth operations.

Transportation arrangements:

Where-ever possible we will cycle from point A to point B meaning the guests have as much experience on the bicycle and exploring outdoors. At certain points we will use our comfortable and modern 16-seater minivan to transport guests safely to start and endpoints. These vehicles come with air conditioning.

If a customer wishes to not continue after lunch, they can be safely transported inside the minivan. The vehicles are present along the way for emergency purposes and can be used as necessary.

Food and Dietary Requirements:

At Mr Biker Saigon we believe in fresh and local food experiences wherever possible. This means eating delicious locally sourced and cooked food and giving the guests a real authentic trip. We can also cater towards allergies and dietary requirements such as vegetarian, vegan or simple requests. 

Food will always be local but with some minor changes to cater towards a Western pallet of tastes.

We will also provide snacks along the way such as seasonal fruits and energy food.

Liability and Personal Health Insurance:

Mr Biker Saigon does not provide personal liability insurance to the guests on the trip. We suggest that each guest has the relevant Personal Health Insurance for travelling in Asia and that it covers activities such as cycling.

Customers using our services please carefully read this waiver form in the link below and noted that this form will be signed before your departure:
