Approximately 105 km from Ho Chi Minh City, Cai Be is a charming river town known for its tropical fruit gardens, waterfront villages, floating market, river islands, local crafts, and friendly locals.
From 7:00 to 7:15 AM, our minivan will pick you up for a two-hour journey to Cai Lay, renowned for its tropical horticulture featuring fruits like longan, jackfruit, durian, pomelo, and rambutan. Cycling under the lush green canopy along tranquil countryside lanes, you will cover 18-25 km to explore fruit orchards and witness local daily life. Upon reaching Cai Be, observe locals crafting puffed rice, coconut candy, rice paper, and more at the village.
Next, we’ll board a boat for a relaxing cruise on the Mekong River, passing riverfront villages and the Cai Be floating market. Lunch will be served at a local garden house on Tan Phong Island, featuring specialties like pancakes, deep-fried elephant ear fish, and longan berry wine.
After lunch, we’ll navigate narrow natural canals on wooden sampans to observe local activities. Later, the journey shifts to Long An, renowned for its large red-fleshed dragon fruit plantations and rice fields. Enjoy a bike ride, covering 15-22 km through dragon fruit farms and rice paddies as the sun sets. Our guide will explain how farmers cultivate dragon fruit trees and maintain their agricultural practices. You’ll have the opportunity to taste fresh fruits straight from the trees and enjoy the serene pathways amidst the rice fields at dusk.
Following a full day of exploring the delta, unwind with a cold beer and snacks before returning to Saigon, arriving at the hotel around 7 PM. As the tour concludes, don’t forget to leave a tip!

5 May 2024 ★★★★★We spent 12 days with Amazing Bike Tours from Siem Reap to Phnom Penh via Battambang. Our tour was perfectly tailored to our route and physical condition and on the last day, we were safely transported to our beach accommodation in Sihanoukville. The organization was flawless from start to finish. The accommodation was also comfortable, allowing us to rest well after eventful days. The tour provided great value for money. The experiences were unique and could fill two vacation reports! The bikes were perfectly adjusted to our needs, with well-maintained gears and brakes. If there was a minor issue, the guide promptly addressed it. The minivan support was modern and very comfortable. The driver was excellent and we felt safe! Besides the visual impressions, we learned a lot about the country and its people.
