There is no airport with direct flights. Many day tours depart from Ho Chi Minh City, and English-guided tours are common too. Between the city and sights, use motorbike taxis or tour buses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Rather than town walks, the focus is boat tours around the canals and orchards. The staple route is passing through nipa-palm tunnels in a hand-rowed small boat and stopping by coconut-processing workshops and apiaries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Ben Tre's staple sightseeing spots<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We've summed up the representative spots in a quick-reference table. Use it as a guide when planning your route.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table is-style-stripes\"><table><thead><tr><th>Spot<\/th><th>Notes<\/th><\/tr><\/thead><tbody><tr><td>Coconut plantation &amp; small-canal tour<\/td><td>Explore the waterways by hand-rowed boat<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Coconut candy workshop<\/td><td>Watch the making and sample it<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Hong Choi Island (Con Phung)<\/td><td>A midstream islet of orchards and traditional music<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Cai Mon horticultural village<\/td><td>A major hub for flowers and seedlings<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Vien Minh Pagoda<\/td><td>A venerable temple in the town center<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Coconut plantation &amp; small-canal tour<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This is the staple experience: gliding slowly through narrow waterways lined with nipa palms on both banks in a small boat handled by a local rower. The stillness\u2014nothing but the leaves overhead and the sound of water\u2014lets you feel up close the original landscape of Mekong Delta life. The common flow is to cross the main channel by large boat and then transfer to a small one, with the canal stretch taking about 15\u201330 minutes one way. In the morning or evening, when the sun softens, the water is calm and easier to photograph. Bring a hat, sun protection, and clothes you don't mind getting wet, and you'll be at ease.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Coconut candy workshop<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This is a workshop where you can watch Ben Tre's signature coconut candy finished entirely by hand, from the process of simmering down freshly pressed coconut milk. The deftness of cooling the candy kneaded in a pot, cutting it into pieces, and wrapping each one in paper never gets old to watch. You can sample the warm, freshly made candy on the spot and compare flavor differences like peanut, durian, and ginger. Many are stops on tours, and it's an easy place to buy some as a souvenir too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Hong Choi Island (Con Phung)<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A lush green islet floating on the Tien River, where you can enjoy orchards, apiaries, and coconut handicrafts all at once. Savoring honey tea and seasonal tropical fruit while listening to live performances of don ca tai tu, the traditional music of the south, is the staple way to spend time on the island. Touring the settlement by horse-drawn cart or bicycle, or slipping through the waterways by small boat\u2014the movement itself becomes an experience. You access it by ferry from the mainland, and it's often built into half-day tours.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Cai Mon horticultural village<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Spreading across the Cho Lach district, this is a leading flower and seedling production area of southern Vietnam. Alongside traditional flowers such as marigolds, bougainvillea, chrysanthemums, and dahlias, farms growing fruit-tree seedlings and bonsai cluster together, and a green-wrapped rural landscape continues. Before Lunar New Year (Tet), the whole village is colored with flowers for shipping, making it the most vibrant season. You can watch the tending of seedlings and bonsai up close, so it's an area with plenty to see for gardening lovers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Vien Minh Pagoda<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A temple in the town of Ben Tre, originally a shrine dedicated to Guan Gong, which through repeated renovations was arranged into a larger complex in 1951. It's easy to access from the city center, and though it sits amid a lively town, you can worship quietly. You can feel the calm bearing of the grounds and the way faith is rooted in the community. In Ben Tre, where sights are scattered about, it's an easy place to drop by between town walks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Ben Tre model course<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Morning<\/strong>: Cross the main channel by boat to Hong Choi Island (Con Phung). Tour the orchards and apiaries, savor honey tea and seasonal fruit while enjoying a don ca tai tu performance, and then experience a waterway tour slipping through the small canals in a hand-rowed boat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Afternoon<\/strong>: Watch the making demonstration and sample it at a coconut candy workshop, and buy some souvenirs. Return to town and stop by Vien Minh Pagoda, and if you have time to spare, extend your trip to Cai Mon horticultural village to take in the rural scenery of flowers and seedlings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Ben Tre food and specialties<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We've compiled in a table the local flavors you'll want to taste in Ben Tre.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table is-style-stripes\"><table><thead><tr><th>Dish<\/th><th>Characteristics<\/th><\/tr><\/thead><tbody><tr><td>Coconut rice<\/td><td>Rice cooked in coconut milk, faintly sweet and rich.

The rainy season (May\u2013November) is the flood period and canal water levels rise, but it's the bumper harvest season for fruit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Budget 500\u20131,000 yen a day. Day tours from Ho Chi Minh City (Ben Tre + My Tho) leave around 7 a.m. and return around 5 p.m., typically costing 5,000\u20138,000 yen. The standard course includes a coconut candy workshop, a traditional honey-tea tasting, and a coconut-cuisine lunch. Hand-rowed small-boat tours run 1,000\u20132,000 yen per boat for 20\u201330 minutes. \"Hong Choi Island\" (one of the four islands) gathers orchards, apiaries, and traditional-music performance spots, so a Mekong experience can be completed in a single day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Points to note<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The small canal boats rock, so non-slip shoes are safer than sandals. Sun protection is a must. In this rustic area, many shops don't take credit cards, so you'll want to have cash ready.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Ben Tre on the map<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<iframe src=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/maps?q=Ben+Tre,+Vietnam&#038;hl=ja&#038;output=embed\" width=\"100%\" height=\"450\" style=\"border:0\" loading=\"lazy\" allowfullscreen referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer-when-downgrade\"><\/iframe>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Frequently asked questions<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<dl class=\"swell-block-faq\" data-q=\"col-text\" data-a=\"col-text\">\n<div class=\"swell-block-faq__item\"><dt class=\"faq_q\">How many days do you need for Ben Tre sightseeing?<\/dt><dd class=\"faq_a\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For touring the main sights, a minimum of half a day to one day is the rough guide.

For street taxis, using only reliable brand cars like \"Mai Linh\" and \"Vinasun\" is the safe bet. For short distances, motorbike taxis (Grab bike) are also useful.<\/p>\n<\/dd><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"swell-block-faq__item\"><dt class=\"faq_q\">Can you use credit cards in Ben Tre?<\/dt><dd class=\"faq_a\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Mid-range and higher hotels, tourist-oriented restaurants, and large supermarkets accept Visa\/Master. However, stalls, local eateries, and markets are basically cash. Carrying around about 500,000\u20132,000,000 dong (about 3,000\u201313,000 yen) in cash a day gives peace of mind.<\/p>\n<\/dd><\/div>\n<\/dl>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Related articles on
