Top Experiences In Can Gio Mangrove Forest
AUTHENTIC EXPERIENCES SHARED BY OUR GUESTS
One of the most delightful experiences on Les Rives’s Mekong Delta tour is a visit to Mr. Binh’s lush fruit orchard. Spanning 1.5 hectares, this is home to an abundance of fresh delights, including guava, ambarella, longan, lime, and more! 🍈🍋
Nestled along the narrow canals, Mr Binh’s charming orchard is not easily accessible by large vehicles, making Les Rives’ speedboat an ideal way to reach it. As you step into this tranquil retreat, you’ll get a firsthand look at traditional fruit cultivation in the Mekong Delta and enjoy the rare treat of picking and tasting sun-ripened fruits straight from the trees. 🌱

Taking a trip to visit the Chu Cho tunnels can be a lot more pleasant by taking a boat trip up to the tunnels. The river life is fascinating!
