Bến Tre: What to see in the surroundings?

What our travelers think about their stay

Bến Tre is both a province and a city on the Mekong Delta, South Vietnam. The island is famous for its coconut orchards and plantations.

My suggestion

Climb into a canoe and head off to explore the canals, the courses of which will take you through areas of dense vegetation, providing opportunities for beautiful photos.

My suggestion

If you want to take a tour by canoe or boat, take a look along the canal (toward the "port") for the little lady who sells fish in tanks: her husband has a boat and will take you out for much less than the organized tours!
