An authentic Mekong experience beyond tourism
Cycle through peaceful village roads in Tắc Cậu, a fertile countryside known for its vast pineapple plantations, supplying some of the sweetest pineapples in southern Vietnam.
Along the way, learn how local farmers grow pineapples and why this land produces such unique flavors. Pass areca palm trees, towering coconut palms, green rice fields (seasonal), and cross traditional monkey bridges over quiet canals.
This slow, easy ride offers a rare glimpse into untouched rural life — respectful families, smiling children, and a way of life unchanged by mass tourism.
Perfect for travelers seeking authentic culture, nature, and real local stories.

Detailed itinerary
1
Your adventure begins as our friendly guide welcomes you for a scenic 2 hours drive to the charming Pineapple Villages.
Along the way, you’ll be captivated by endless rice paddies stretching as far as the eye can see—this fertile land contributes to 90% of Vietnam’s rice exports, making the country one of the world’s top three rice exporters.
Upon arrival, we’ll hop on bikes and ride through vast pineapple farms, where local farmers cultivate pineapples, rice, coconuts, and areca palms while tending to their buffalo and ducks. As we cycle, you’ll witness villagers skillfully crossing rivers on monkey bridges and gliding through waterways in wooden boats—timeless traditions passed down for generations.
These peaceful villages remain untouched by tourism, offering most authentic glimpse into rural Vietnam. I think this would be the most authentic trip in Vietnam
