Experience Vietnam off the beaten track – easy cycling at its best!
 "I had a ball of a time on my Vietnam Mekong Delta ride. We ate very well every time at reputable, reliable places and ate as the locals did. Everything was explained in detail. It really was a gourmet riding tour. The cycling was total enjoyment, not missing a thing. Plenty of time to relax, take photos and meet the locals. Every detail of the trip was taken care of accurately and punctually. We were well communicated with at all times and Mr Son our driver, anticipated our every move with an opened bottle of water and hand towel just when we needed it! I felt that our care and safety was his prime responsibility . I highly recommend the trip and will certainly travel with Adventure South again." - Ron Blint, Australia, Mekong Delta Bicycle Tour, Feb 2010.
Together with our local Vietnamese partners we are excited to introduce a revised itinerary including 9 days & 8 nights, for our very popular cycle tour in the exotic Mekong Delta. We now spend two nights each, in the very beautiful Victoria Resort Hotels in Chau Doc & Can Tho and have added in some more quiet road cycling into the little visited western Mekong Delta region.
Tours are timed for the dry season when, although still hot, it is not humid. This tour caters for all levels of cyclists, - distances are great enough to challenge strong riders but as the route is nearly all flat it is also suitable for recreational cyclists, combined with our full sag wagon support system.
The cycling is superb, at any moment there are a multitude of unique sights to see & we have included many off-the-bike experiences for you to enjoy. Enjoy the trip in the company of your fully trained and experienced Vietnamese guides who will provide the local interpretation as well as looking after your every need.
Activities include:
- Take a boat trip to visit a floating village where people live above their fish farms
- Cycle alongside the Cambodian border where you will see Khmer people in their stilt houses alongside sugar palm trees
- Visit the famous Tay An pagoda & temples, the largest Smiling Buddha statue in South East Asia and Sam Mountain overlooking Cambodia
- Tour the Mekong Delta's only Crocodile farm, which supplies live crocodiles , crocodile meat and crocodile leather to the export and local markets
