VietNamNet Bridge – Biking is an interesting and authentic way to explore the countryside in Vietnam. Victoria Can Tho Resort has recently launched a new selection of biking tours to offer its guests the opportunity to discover daily life in the heart of the Mekong Delta region.

The biking routes range from 57 to 87 kilometers with a choice of different itineraries and are suitable for most people with normal fitness levels. Highlights include small river crossings on local boats, handicraft and rice paper making villages and the famous little town of Sa Dec, where Marguerite Duras, a French author of the well-known novel The Lover, spent her childhood.

Guests who wish to extend their biking tour with a luxurious treat can opt for the Can Tho – Long Xuyen – Chau Doc itinerary, mixing biking and cruising aboard our converted traditional rice barge, Le Jarai.

They will be able to feast on a freshly prepared lunch, enjoy massages, cooking class or even sunbath on the upper deck while relaxing in the tranquility of the Mekong.

For a more cultural experience, the Long Xuyen – Chau Doc route will take guests through small provincial towns to see Cham villages as well as Muslim mosques near the Cambodian border, renowned for an eclectic mix of Cham, Khmer, Chinese and Vietnamese cultures.

Victoria Can Tho offers biking tours at prices starting from US$97 per person upwards, including professional mountain bikes, safety helmets, a repair kit and a supporting mini van at disposal at all times.
