After about two hours of transfer, we will reach the port of Hung Vuong, near the famous town of Ben Tre. From here, we will sail on a motorboat along one of the main branches of the Delta, until we reach a remote rural area crossed by a dense network of narrow canals covered with vegetation, where we will change boats and opt for a small rowing Sampan. The navigation continues, admiring the lush vegetation alternating with coconut palm plantations, until we reach a local homestay for lunch with local specialties. During the navigation, there will be several stops to admire local farmers and artisans at work, including those involved in coconut processing, for example.
