- Ho Chi Minh City - This exclusive full-day tour begins at your hotel in Ho Chi Minh City and travels approximately 70 kilometers (about 90 minutes) to My Tho Cruise Port.
- My Tho - From there, a private boat navigates the Tien River — the northern branch of the Mekong — passing the Rach Mieu Bridge and floating fish cages, as well as riverside communities that line the river.
- My Tho - The initial stop is Con Qui, one of the four islands of My Tho and the least frequented of the group. Participants stroll through fruit orchards, pick and taste seasonal fruits directly from the trees, visit an active honey farm, and enjoy coconut water from palms that hang over the garden paths. From this point, a traditional sampan is rowed through the island’s inner canals.
- Ben Tre Province - The journey continues by xe điện (electric cart) or xe lam (motorized rickshaw) through the village lanes of Quoi Son commune in Ben Tre — narrow paths between family homes and active workshops where coconut candy and banana candy are handcrafted. Lunch is served at a riverside restaurant, featuring a set menu of freshly prepared Mekong Delta dishes that vary with the day’s fresh offerings — river fish, seasonal vegetables, delta specialties, and steamed rice.
- Ben Tre Province - After lunch, the group cycles at a relaxed pace through the nearby village lanes — peaceful paths between gardens and paddies that larger vehicles cannot access. Guests who prefer not to cycle can walk the same route. The boat then returns to My Tho Cruise Port.
- Ho Chi Minh City - The private vehicle transports the group back to Ho Chi Minh City.

Eat and buy well - There is a place to buy and eat and have a tour, the value of the batch is high, there is a place to buy but will not force the purchase and will not make the face, the process is not stressful. The meal is good. The landscape when sitting on the boat boat is also good, although the water is yellow but has no taste at all

Mekong River Day Tour - The boat experience on the Mekong River in Vietnam today is simply the most memorable part of the trip! Early in the morning we departed from the harbour, the sun shed onto the wide river surface, the river water slowly flowing, both sides are lush coconut trees and green rice fields, as if walking into a living water ink painting. The body of the ship gently shakes, the light wind blows with a fresh breath of soil and plants, allowing people to instantly relieve all fatigue.
The tour guide Steven Luu accompanied, carefully and professionally. He not only detailed the history and ecology of the Mekong River, but also shared many interesting things about the local life, from the daily life of river fishermen to the agricultural characteristics of the Delta, all give us a deeper understanding of Vietnamese culture. His fluent English, tone humor, meeting our questions is always patiently answered, but also actively helped to take photos of memories, really like a friend to take care of each member of the team.
The most amazing is the local cuisine experience! Fresh fresh river fruits, seasoned spring rolls, coconut juice-cooked desserts, and Vietnamese river powder, each filled with tropical flavors. Sitting on the boat eating and chatting, enjoying the river wind blowing, feeling the whole heart is immersed in the gentleness of this land.
This Mekong tour is more than just a sightseeing tour, it is more like a cultural baptism. Thanks to Steven, let us not only "see the scenery", but really "feel" the vitality of Vietnam. Highly recommended for anyone who wants to experience Vietnam's slow life charm, the next time you come to Ho Chi Minh City or Seoul, make sure to plan this trip!
