Ben Tre Prawn-Catching & Authentic Mekong Private Day Tour

Discover the heart of the Mekong Delta on a day tour from Ho Chi Minh City. Catch prawns, pick fruit, visit a chocolate factory, and enjoy a boat ride through jungle canals.
Begin with a pickup from your hotel in Ho Chi Minh City. Enjoy a scenic 2-hour drive to Ben Tre, passing vibrant rice paddies and riverside villages along the way.

Upon arrival, be greeted with local Mekong fruit and cakes as you board the boat—a refreshing start to your adventure. Navigate lush mangroves and pluck fresh fruits straight from the trees aboard the boat.

Join a local fisherman in his daily routine: cast nets or traps, catch fresh prawns, cook them onboard, and enjoy with chilled coconut water. Next, explore vast coconut groves and learn traditional processing. Sample coconut candies, fresh coconut water, and craft items made from coconut tree byproducts.

Watch how cacao beans are transformed into delicious chocolate at a cacao and chocolate factory. Taste fresh chocolates made on-site—a unique Mekong treat. Swap the main boat for a traditional paddle boat to explore narrow, jungle-lined waterways in peace and serenity.

Enjoy a lunch in a tropical fruit garden or on-boat. Savor family-style Vietnamese dishes prepared by locals in a beautiful riverside setting. Finally, relax during the 2-hour drive back to Ho Chi Minh City, where the tour concludes.
