The tunnels and the river in a day
$47 per personSee the journey
Four hours from Saigon, a province of Khmer pagodas, coconut groves and almost no tour buses. Two nights at a lodge set in rice fields, a long cycle through the villages, and the rare macapuno coconut that only grows here.
Day by day
Day one
Saigon to Tra Vinh
A hundred and fifty kilometres south to the lodge. In the afternoon, a Khmer mask-making workshop and com dep — young rice pounded with coconut — by the pool at sunset, then dinner and Apsara dance.
Dinner included
Day two
Twelve kilometres by bicycle
Through paddies, fruit gardens and over monkey bridges, with stops at a family home, a rice mill and an old Khmer pagoda, and a drink made from the local macapuno coconut. The afternoon is free; dinner is five courses from the lodge garden, and a herbal foot bath after.
All meals included
Day three
Tra Vinh, and onward
Breakfast, then on to your next stop or back to Saigon.
