Full Itinerary
Depart from your hotel and embark on a scenic 2.5 hours drive through the countryside to reach the vibrant Mekong Delta.
Upon reaching the pineapple fields in Tan Phuoc District, Tien Giang, dress in a traditional Mekong farmer’s outfit and step into the life of a local farmer. With the guidance of a welcoming local expert, you’ll uncover the captivating process of pineapple harvesting.
For an unforgettable experience, opt to harvest by sampan boat. Navigate through the flooded sections of the fields, equipped with gloves and a sickle, as you skillfully pick pineapples directly from the water. This hands-on activity offers a deep connection to the traditional methods cherished by the region's farmers.
Once you have collected them, you can enjoy the fresh, sweet pineapples right at the source, savoring the unique flavor of the fruit grown in this region.
After finishing the harvest, you will change clothes.
Head to an authentic Mekong lunch within the Dong Thap Muoi Ecological Reserve, where you’ll enjoy a delicious meal featuring rustic countryside flavors, including grilled snakehead fish, sour soup with lotus stems, and other dishes made from fresh local ingredients.
After lunch, visitors explore the Dong Thap Muoi Ecological Reserve, home to approximately 156 plant and animal species, including 147 bird species. Each year, the reserve attracts around 1,000 birds, with notable sightings of the sarus crane. Blending conservation and eco-tourism, the reserve offers a unique opportunity to experience its rich biodiversity and serene natural beauty.
The experiences should not be missed at the Reserve:
- Climbing up to the high observatory tower offers a stunning panoramic view of the endless green expanse of the reserve below, where flocks of birds and herons can be seen flying off in search of food or returning to their nests, filling the sky with their presence.
- Take a boat ride through the waterlogged reed areas, navigating along narrow canals to observe wildlife in its natural habitat, including birds, herons, kingfishers, and egrets.
- Take an electric car ride along a trail surrounded by lush green routes, enjoying the fresh air and the soothing sound of birdsong.
The trip continues with a visit to a pineapple candy factory, where you’ll witness the process of crafting this regional specialty. Created by the innovative female farmers of Tan Phuoc, pineapple candy combines the sweet and sour flavors of fresh pineapple with the rich aroma of roasted peanuts.
Afterward, return to your hotel, concluding your journey with unforgettable memories of the serene nature and lush landscapes of the Mekong Delta.
