Ben Tre

Ben Tre, fondly known as the "Coconut Capital" of Vietnam, is a serene riverine province in the Lower Mekong Delta defined by endless coconut groves, winding waterways, and peaceful village communities. Located just 90 minutes south of Ho Chi Minh City, Ben Tre offers an authentic escape into the heart of rural river life.
Visitors to Ben Tre can experience the true rhythm of the Delta: crossing the mighty Mekong River by local ferry, navigating narrow mangrove channels on hand-rowed sampan boats, visiting traditional artisan workshops to sample freshly made coconut candy, and cycling along quiet, shaded concrete paths underneath lush coconut canopies. Whether enjoying a refreshing 1-day cycling getaway or an immersive 2-day homestay experience in Mo Cay, Ben Tre provides an unforgettable combination of rich local culture, warm hospitality, and peaceful tropical landscapes.
