What To Expect

Ben Tre is the best option for a day trip to the Mekong Delta from Saigon, since it is only around 2 hours away, and 15 minutes from My Tho. However, this wonderful destination retains an authenticity which has been somewhat lessened in nearby My Tho.
This picturesque and friendly Mekong Delta town has historically seen very few travelers, but the recent opening of a bridge connecting Ben Tre and My Tho has made it far easier for day trippers to visit from Saigon.
Highlight activities :

Crawl into the huge underground network of the Cu Chi narrow Tunnels ( tasting cassava -guerilla 's main food in the war )
Explore villages and islands on the Mekong Delta River
Enjoy lunch with a set menu of Vietnamese cuisine at a local restaurant
Row in a sampan along the labyrinthine network of canals
Try tropical fruits, see a coconut candy processing workshop, and visit a honey farm
Enjoy a live music performance by local villagers ( Dan Ca Tai Tu - UNESCO verified )
