Ninh Kieu

We pedal through serene villages rarely touched by tourists. Experience the genuine warmth of the locals as you join in their daily activities, from festive gatherings to celebratory ceremonies and lively karaoke. Observe children joyfully swimming and women gracefully washing clothes by the river. The next stop on the trip is a lotus farm, where you can admire the beauty and purity of the lotus flower. Here we will learn how to cultivate the lotus, the national flower of Vietnam, while valuing what this wonderful flower brings to our lives. Of course, no trip to this farm would be complete without harvesting and eating fresh lotus seeds. The Mekong Delta is considered Vietnam's largest rice and fruit granary. You will discover vast rice paddies that stretch endlessly (seasonal), complemented by lush fruit gardens adorned with vibrant mangoes, pineapples, mangosteens, jackfruit, durian, papaya, guava, pomelo, and star apple.
