SAIGON OASIS ADVENTURE Through Water Bus & Motorbike Tour

In the afternoon, guests will gather at Bach Dang Water Bus Station before 14:30 to board the Saigon Water Bus. The cruise offers a scenic journey along the Saigon River, gliding away from the vibrant city center into the peaceful greenery of Thanh Da Islet.

Upon arriving at Thanh Da, guests will first explore the lively local atmosphere with free time to enjoy street food, buy fresh local produce at Thanh Da Market, or try the famous Mộc milk tea, a beloved neighborhood favorite. Guests may also purchase small snacks or candies to give to local children during the trip — a warm and meaningful cultural interaction.

Next, the group will head to the historic Thanh Da Apartment Complex to learn about the unique history, daily lifestyle, and community stories of the islet’s longtime residents.

From here, the rider will take guests on a charming off-the-beaten-path journey into the “countryside” hidden in the heart of Ho Chi Minh City: Binh Quoi. This refreshing green area offers a tranquil environment, coconut-lined paths, and an authentic slice of rural life. Guests will visit Binh Quoi Tây Temple to learn about the traditional customs and spiritual practices of the local community.

After the temple visit, the tour offers two optional activities (1 hour, not included in the tour price):

1. Fishing Activity – 200,000 VND (~8 USD / person)

Relax by a peaceful pond and try catching freshwater fish using simple local techniques.

2. SUP Paddling – 400,000 VND (~15 USD / person)

Enjoy a guided paddle boarding experience along the calm Saigon canals - perfect for adventure lovers.

If guests choose not to join any optional activity, the rider will escort them to a cozy riverside café, where they can unwind with a refreshing drink, enjoy the cool river breeze, and watch a beautiful Thanh Da sunset.

Afterwards, the group will head to a local restaurant to savor the famous Thanh Da duck congee (cháo vịt) - a comforting and authentic dish enjoyed in a rustic riverside setting.

Following dinner, guests will travel back to their hotel by riders.

Estimated arrival in the city center: 20:00.

This marks the end of a memorable half-day escape into Saigon’s hidden green oasis.
