We will pick you up at the Xa Xia border checkpoint. Welcome to Vietnam! Everything is set for an adventurous cycling trip. The drive from Ha Tien to your overnight stop in Chau Doc is quite long. Our transfer van will take you on the border belt road N2 to Giang Thanh village. Here, we’ll gather our bikes and cycle through paths, tracks, and fields to Tri Ton (25-40 km). We’ll pause for lunch at a local restaurant before heading to Tra Su Reserve. Enjoy a boat trip to explore the picturesque mangroves and observe rare migratory birds. Returning to our bikes, we’ll cover the last few kilometers (25 km) along country lanes, witnessing local life near Chau Doc border town. If time allows, we’ll take a motorbike taxi to the challenging peak of Sam Mountain to catch the stunning sunset with panoramic views over the Delta and into neighboring Cambodia. You’ll spend the night in town.

Up early for a boat cruise through the vibrant riverside market, experiencing its bustling activity and a feast for the senses with a variety of sounds, colors, and scents. We continue the cruise through the floating village, where numerous fish are farmed under hundreds of shelters along the Bassac River. The ideal way to explore the Long Xuyen quadrilateral region, renowned as the rice basket of the Mekong Delta, is by bike rather than minibus. Today, we begin with an easy bike ride (25-40 km), making stops for photos and breaks along the way. Lunch will be in Long Xuyen city, where our guide will introduce you to more local foods before a short rest on the journey to Can Tho city in our van. Later in the day, as temperatures cool down, we’ll take another bike ride exploring Thot Not, Nong Truong Song Hau, Thoi Lai, and Phong Dien for about three hours (20-40 km). This journey delves deeper into the beautiful and less-touristed areas of the Mekong Delta. Enjoy the evening with free time for a walk along the city quay.

We begin our day with a morning boat trip to explore the vibrant Cai Rang floating market – one of the last remaining authentic floating markets in Asia. The market is bustling with hundreds of boats navigating the river, offering a unique and lively experience. We then continue to cruise along quiet, winding waterways around Can Tho to the local district of Phong Dien. Following this, our van will take us out of the city’s busy traffic, where we will start another pleasant bike ride under the lush green jungle canopy amidst My Hoa pomelo plantations. Here, you will have the opportunity to taste fresh pomelo picked straight from the trees. We’ll continue cycling to Dong Thanh and Ba Cang (30 km), then stop for lunch at Cay Bang restaurant for barbecued meat with broken rice. Afterward, we’ll rest in the van before heading towards Saigon. Our next destination is Long An, renowned for its large red-fleshed dragon fruit plantations and extensive rice fields. Upon arrival, you will hop back on your bikes for a final ride along small, scenic routes lined with dragon fruit farms and rice paddies (15-22 km). Our guide will demonstrate how farmers tend to their dragon fruit farms, providing insight into their agricultural practices. You will also taste fresh fruit straight from the trees and enjoy a peaceful bike ride under the sunset amidst the rice fields and serenaded by the sounds of frogs. Feeling tired but content after a long day exploring the delta, you can unwind with a cool beer and snacks before returning to Saigon. This marks the end of our tour.

Homma
3 April 2025 ★★★★★We spent a few days in Taipei and Jiufen over the weekend. Unfortunately, the weather in Jiufen wasn’t the best-quite misty and rainy—but we still enjoyed shopping, relaxing at the hot springs, and trying the local street food. The high-speed train ride was very comfortable. Would love to return to Jiufen again one day!

13 March 2025 ★★★★★Stephen from Travel Asia Co.nz was recommended by my friend, and she planned our 6D5N private tour for 8 of us perfectly. Everything was smooth—from hotel check-ins arranged for quick showers before/after the train, to splitting our group for day trips (5 to Ayutthaya, 3 to the floating market). Even our luggage was delivered to the next hotel-amazing service! Chiang Mai was a highlight with stunning views, Doi Suthep, hill tribe visits, and the elephant sanctuary. Our guide Yeow was friendly, caring, and very experienced. In Bangkok and Ayutthaya, we enjoyed a peaceful boat ride and a climb at Wat Phu Khao Thong—big thanks to David for guiding us safely. It was a well-organized, memorable trip. Great job, Wendy and team!

6 February 2025 ★★★★★We booked a very last-minute trip to Thailand for two families with young kids, and Travel Asia Co.nz made it all happen smoothly. Wendy was super responsive - she quickly proposed a flexible itinerary covering everything from transport and meals to tickets and timing. She even checked in with us daily to make sure we were happy. Our guide, Stephen, was an absolute gem-mature, caring, and great with the kids. He spoke excellent English, adjusted plans to fit our needs, and even helped us avoid tourist traps with helpful local tips. The vehicle was brand new, spacious, and very comfy. We truly felt cared for throughout the trip. Thank you, Stephen, Tien, and the team for a wonderful experience. Hope to travel with you again!

8 January 2025 ★★★★★This was my first time joining a trip arranged by Travel Asia Co.nz, and it was a great experience. Wendy was very helpful and responsive before the trip, and she worked closely with us to meet our needs. With the help of our tour guide, we completed all the planned activities smoothly and were amazed by the beautiful scenery-especially around Phang Nga Bay and the temples in Chiang Mai. We took so many great photos! Our group included seniors in their 70s and 80s, and thanks to the guide’s care and attention, everyone managed the trip comfortably. The food was delicious, and the accommodations were very comfortable too. Big thanks to Travel Asia Co.nz-we had a wonderful time, and we’ll definitely choose them again for our next trip to Thailand!
