Detailed Itinerary
CHARMING
SOUTHERN VIETNAM TOUR 12 DAYS
Day 1: Ho Chi Minh Arrival (/D)
Upon arrival in Ho Chi Minh City,
you will be met and greeted by our tour guide and taken to your hotel for check
in. Later, you will be brought to a local restaurant for dinner before and
overnight stay in Ho Chi Minh City.
Day 2: Saigon (HCMC) - Vinh Long - Can Tho (B, L, D)
You will meet your guide at your
hotel in HCMC and drive through the Mekong Delta to the town of Vinh Long. Upon
arrival, you’ll take a boat trip to visit a brick & pottery factory, a
bonsai garden or an orchard. You will enjoy some Southern traditional
music performed by the local people and a sumptuous Delta lunch, including the
popular dish of “Elephant ear fish.” You will then drive to the heart of
Mekong Delta: Can Tho and stay overnight.
Day 3: Can Tho (B, L, D)
After breakfast at hotel you will
take a boat trip to join in the Cai Rang Floating market. Here, each boat
usually sells one particular item, whether it be pumpkins, pineapples, sugar
cane etc., and in order that the customer knows where to shop, they hang that
item from the highest part of the boat. The afternoon is free, so you may enjoy
the most comfortable property in the Mekong Delta, Victoria Resort Can Tho,
where you will spend the night.
Day 4: Can Tho - Chau Doc (B, L, D)
You will leave Can Tho and head for Chau Doc. This
amazing journey takes 4 hours and the town is situated right on the Bassac
River, close to the Cambodian border. You will stop to visit the Bang Lang bird
sanctuary, the incense stick village and the crocodile farm on the way.
In the afternoon, you will take a sampan, cruising
to visit the floating fish farm and the Cham weaving village. Next is a trip up
the Sam Mountain for a great sunset and a birds-eye view over the rice paddy
fields toward Cambodia, before spending the night at the Victoria Hotel Chau
Doc.
Day 5: Chau Doc - Ha Tien (B, L, D)
You’ll have time to enjoy a buffet breakfast at the
restaurant, which faces the river, before departing Chau Doc for Ha Tien. Ha
Tien is in the extreme south-west of the Vietnamese mainland, close to the Gulf
of Thailand and the Cambodian border. It’s a busy but remote town of about
42,000 people and is approximately 100km from Chau Doc by road. Ha Tien and its
hinterland is a popular destination for Vietnamese people, but few visitors
from abroad venture into such an out-of-the-way corner of Vietnam.
Nevertheless, for travelers seeking an authentic experience (and who are
prepared for basic accommodations and infrastructure) it has a lot to offer.
You can visit Hon Chong (a pagoda in the grottoes) and enjoy the
beautiful sunset on the beach, before retiring for the evening in Ha Tien.
Day 6: Ha Tien - Cap Ca Mau (B/ L/ D)
After breakfast at the hotel, you will visit Thach
Dong Cave, the Vietnam/Cambodia border, Mui Nai beach and a local fishing
village. You will certainly want to stop and view the verdant paddy
fields, orchards and tranquil villages on the way to Ca Mau. The main
attractions here are the nearby swamps and forests, which can be easily
explored by boat. Bird-watchers and aspiring botanists will be enthralled with
the area for its stork-sighting opportunities and swamp ecology. You’ll then
have dinner and an overnight stay in Ca Mau.
Day 7: Ca Mau - Dat Mui (B/L/D)
In the morning, you will take a speedboat from Ca
Mau to Dat Mui. Here, you can take souvenir photos at the country’s
southernmost tip, which can annually expand as much as 80 to 100 meters due to
alluvion (deposited soil left by the recession of water). You can then
visit other national landmarks, a miniature model village and the Mui Ca Mau
forest stations, which provide views from as high as 20 meters. In the
afternoon, you will take a speedboat back to Nam Can and visit the Phan Ngoc
Hien monument, before dinner and an overnight stay in Ca Mau.
Day 8: Ca Mau - Rach Gia - Phu Quoc (B/-/-)
Rising early to the sounds of the Delta around you,
you
will drive to Rach Gia and bid farewell to your driver as a guide flies you to
Phu Quoc Island for 4 nights of rest and relaxation.
You will be greeted at the Duong Dong Airport,
transferred to your resort and check- in. The rest of the day is free and you
will be able to unwind overnight in Phu Quoc.
Day 9 & 11: Free time at the resort (B)
You will have free time at the resort to enjoy its
amenities, followed by an overnight stay in Phu Quoc.
Day 12: Departure (B)
You will have free time until being transferred to
Phu Quoc airport for your domestic flight to HCMC and your onward flight to
your final destination.
