AM:

06:00 AM: Pick up guests and head to Tri An Lake campsite (approx. 70km). Breakfast en route at a local rest stop. The distance from Saigon is not too far, only 2-3 hours, so it is quite convenient.

  • Coming to Ma Da, you will experience cycling through the wonderful Tri An hydroelectric power station, one side is a lake, and the other is a green forest. 
  • Continuing to cycle on the red dirt trails in the extremely cool forest will make your soul soften when immersing in nature. 

Enjoy a special lunch in the forest under the cool green trees, enjoying the rustic flavor of rice balls with sesame salt.

PM:

In the afternoon, the boat takes you to visit Tri An Lake to the campsite by the lake. 

After setting up the tent, the group can cool off in the fresh, clear waters and unwind while watching the sun dip behind the mountains, painting the vast sky in hues of gold and crimson.

EVE:

Enjoy a lakeside BBQ party with new friends. 

At night, sleep in a tent beneath the starry sky, right beside the vast, peaceful lake.

AM:

In the morning, the air by the lake is refreshingly crisp. 

Simply unzip your tent and you’ll be greeted by a stunning sunrise reflecting off the water.

Start your day with a strong cup of coffee and a light breakfast, surrounded by nature’s tranquility. 

You can also join in fun water activities like swimming or paddleboarding. 

After lunch, the group packs up and boards the bus for the return journey to Ho Chi Minh City.

Great Nature Escape

Tour was relaxing. Paddleboarding and swimming in Tri An lake were highlights. Tents were okay but nights by the water made up for everything.
