Mekong Delta Biking Experience With Victoria Can Tho Resort
For an exciting and authentic way of exploring the countryside, Victoria Can Tho Resort has launched a new selection of biking tours in the heart of the Mekong Delta region. The adventurous trips would lead guests through series of small paths, luscious green fields and tropical fruit orchards with the resort’s own fleet of quality mountain bikes.
The biking routes range from 57 to 87 km with a choice of different itineraries and are suitable for most people with normal fitness level. Highlights include small river crossings on local boats, handicraft and rice paper making villages, and the famous little town of Sa Dec, where Marguerite Duras, the French author of well-known novel The Lover, spent her childhood.
Guests who wish to extend the biking tour by a luxurious treat can opt for the Can Tho – Long Xuyen – Chau Doc itinerary, mixing biking and cruising aboard our converted traditional rice barge, Le Jarai. They will be able to feast on a freshly prepared lunch, enjoy massages, cooking class or even sunbath on the upper deck while relaxing in the tranquility of the Mekong.
For a more cultural experience, the Long Xuyen – Chau Doc route will bring guests through small provincial towns, Cham villages as well as Muslim mosques near the Cambodian border, renowned for an eclectic mix of Cham, Khmer, Chinese and Vietnamese cultures.
The tours are priced from USD 97 per person onwards and include professional mountain bikes, safety helmets, a repair kit and a supporting mini van at disposal all times.
