After a day of exploring, unwind in the homestay’s public open-air hot bath to soothe sore muscles from biking or walking tours.

Local Attractions

No stay here is complete without visiting three nearby can’t-miss spots. First, *My Tho Ben Tre Mekong Boat Tour* is a 15-minute drive from the homestay. Glide through narrow coconut-lined canals on a wooden rowboat, stop at local candy and coconut workshops, and enjoy a riverside lunch with fresh Mekong fish. Second, *Vinh Trang Pagoda*, a stunning 19th-century Buddhist temple just 20 minutes away, blends Vietnamese, Chinese, and Cambodian architectural styles, with lush gardens and giant ancient banyan trees perfect for quiet reflection. Third, *Con Phung Island* (Coconut Island) is a short ferry ride from My Tho, where you can cycle through endless coconut groves, visit a beehive farm, and sample fresh honey and tropical fruit straight from the trees.

Travel Tips

The homestay has no on-site parking, so if you’re traveling independently, book the homestay’s paid airport transfer or public transport ticket service for seamless arrival from Ho Chi Minh City or My Tho city center. Many activities, from bike tours to cooking classes, require advance booking, so confirm your itinerary with the homestay at least 48 hours before arrival. Bring lightweight, breathable clothing, insect repellent for rural outdoor adventures, and cash—most local spots don’t accept cards. If you’re bringing your pet, don’t forget to notify the homestay when you book. For the best weather, visit between December and February, when temperatures are mild and rainfall is low, ideal for outdoor biking and exploring.
