One of the stops is Unicorn Island, where visitors can take a stroll along country lanes, admire orchards, savor tropical fruits, and listen to the enchanting folk songs performed by locals. For a serene experience, you can opt for a hand-rowed sampan ride through the Thoi Son canal.

A delicious lunch awaits at a local restaurant, providing a well-deserved break. In the afternoon, you may cycle around the charming Tan Thach village and engage with the local villagers, gaining insight into their daily lives in the Mekong Delta.
