Approximately 105 km from Ho Chi Minh City, Cai Be is a charming river town known for its tropical fruit gardens, waterfront villages, floating market, river islands, local crafts, and friendly locals.
From 7:00 to 7:15 AM, our minivan will pick you up for a two-hour journey to Cai Lay, renowned for its tropical horticulture featuring fruits like longan, jackfruit, durian, pomelo, and rambutan. Cycling under the lush green canopy along tranquil countryside lanes, you will cover 18-25 km to explore fruit orchards and witness local daily life. Upon reaching Cai Be, observe locals crafting puffed rice, coconut candy, rice paper, and more at the village.
Next, we’ll board a boat for a relaxing cruise on the Mekong River, passing riverfront villages and the Cai Be floating market. Lunch will be served at a local garden house on Tan Phong Island, featuring specialties like pancakes, deep-fried elephant ear fish, and longan berry wine.
After lunch, we’ll navigate narrow natural canals on wooden sampans to observe local activities. Later, the journey shifts to Long An, renowned for its large red-fleshed dragon fruit plantations and rice fields. Enjoy a bike ride, covering 15-22 km through dragon fruit farms and rice paddies as the sun sets. Our guide will explain how farmers cultivate dragon fruit trees and maintain their agricultural practices. You’ll have the opportunity to taste fresh fruits straight from the trees and enjoy the serene pathways amidst the rice fields at dusk.
Following a full day of exploring the delta, unwind with a cold beer and snacks before returning to Saigon, arriving at the hotel around 7 PM. As the tour concludes, don’t forget to leave a tip!

What our clients say about us
Eriberto P
16 March 2024 ★★★★★We did a 10 day private tour of Thailand with Amazing Bike Tours (ABT), including a couple of days of biking in Chiang Mai and a day in Phuket. ABT put together a great mix of biking and classic tours at a reasonable price. They responded quickly to emails and were very easy to deal with. The whole trip was fantastic, from the boat trips to James Bond Island to staying overnight in Bangkok and other towns. Our guide, Tom, was not only knowledgeable but also really friendly - he even became our unofficial photographer and shared all his photos with us. I definitely recommend ABT if you're planning a trip to Asia.

In particular, our local tour guide Tom was outstanding. He was essential to connecting with local village people, visit remote villages, and explore exotic food. Can't wait for my next adventure

5 May 2024 ★★★★★We spent 12 days with Amazing Bike Tours from Siem Reap to Phnom Penh via Battambang. Our tour was perfectly tailored to our route and physical condition and on the last day, we were safely transported to our beach accommodation in Sihanoukville. The organization was flawless from start to finish. The accommodation was also comfortable, allowing us to rest well after eventful days. The tour provided great value for money. The experiences were unique and could fill two vacation reports! The bikes were perfectly adjusted to our needs, with well-maintained gears and brakes. If there was a minor issue, the guide promptly addressed it. The minivan support was modern and very comfortable. The driver was excellent and we felt safe! Besides the visual impressions, we learned a lot about the country and its people.

18 January 2024 ★★★★★We had a custom and private 3-day bike tour in the Mekong Delta with Loc, our expert bike tour guide who organized, coordinated, and led three days of fantastic bike touring. Our tour of the the Mekong Delta included Cai Lay, Cai Be, Can Tho, and My Tho, before catching a luxury Mekong River cruise up to Cambodia. Loc was a great guide who really helped us appreciate the culture of the untouched tourist areas of the delta where we met fantastic people and toured through incredible villages, markets, Khmer temple, and even a local school. Loc did an excellent job of pacing the bike ride to our activity level and we enjoyed some great lunches at some local residences, even picking up some rat at a local market we toured and having it expertly prepared at a local home. Our best, most authentic Vietnamese meals were enjoyed on this biking tour. We had a van w/driver following us throughout the bike rides to ensure we had plenty of water and picked us up when we were ready to be done for the day. Loc also gave us a tour of Saigon as well as the underground Vietnam war tunnels at Cu Chi. I can't say enough about the biking tours and Loc was just a fantastic guide. We hated to say good-bye as we continued our tour of Southeast Asia but will always cherish the bike tour we had with Loc in Vietnam.
