Trip overview
The Mekong Delta is one of Vietnam’s most mysterious and fascinating destinations. Cycling is the ideal way to immerse in longer adventures through remote and unexplored provinces. There’s no rush on two wheels. Move slowly through the countryside, weaving through miniature walkways, over bridges just wide enough for one person to cross, and through green fields and coconut groves, perhaps stopping in the shade for a ice-cold ca phe or tropical fruit — whatever you do, prepare to make memories that last.
