Highlights
  • Ben Tre - Pick up and direct towards My Tho Town, lying along the left side of Mekong River. Upon arrival, visit Vinh Trang pagoda which sated back to the late 19th century. Then boarding the sampan and cruising down the river around the four beautiful islands known as Dragon, Unicorn, Phoenix and Tortoise islands.

The first stop is at Unicorn Island. Step ashore and go for a stroll in tranquil village paths while witnessing fruit plantations of the Delta region. Walk inside a garden to savor fresh fruit and perceive the quintessence of Vietnamese traditional folk music through songs performed by local people with the classical instruments.

Step onto small rowing sampans and submerge into the breeze with the cool shadow of above palm tree vaults while being rowed through narrow canals. After that, stop at a bee-keeping farm and sample a tiny glass of honey tea & pollen. Also, visit a family coconut fudge mill to see how mighty the locals’ business is.

Additional Information

Just getting snippets of Mekong Delta from the media doesn’t truly convey the amazing attributes this aquatic region is blessed with. This is why a comprehensive day trip with an exclusive group tour to Mekong Delta offers the perfect chance to completely grasp the simple living yet abundant culture of the locals and genuinely soak in its peaceful allure. Now, it’s time to step away from the city’s luxury and bustle, and lose yourself in the tranquil moments of nature and countryside living.

A well-planned day from HCMC to Mekong Delta River - The tour had an option to pick up and drop off in hotels nearby which is a big plus already. The van we rode was spacious and clean. The driver drove smoothly and was on time. Travel time took 1.5 to 2 hrs one way. We are a group of 10 individuals and despite having different nationalities, our tour guide Ms. Thuyen, ensured that everyone was included. She showed great knowledge and passion everytime she explains anything. Her personality was bubbly and approachable whenever we had inquiries. We were also able to maximize our time because of the well-planned schedule. Not too long and not too short, just the right duration. Overall, it was an enjoyable and memorable experience for me and my friends. I will recommend this tour to anyone coming to HCMC and take this 1-day adventure to Mekong River Delta. With a tour guide like Ms. Thuyen, it will be one for the books.

Highly recommended day tour under great guidance of Lilian! - We had a very lovely tour in a small group (8 PAX) under guidance of Lilian. The tour itself was well organized from beginning to the end, but the personal way and warmth with which Lilian managed the tour we appraise to a very high extent. Lilian is highly skilled and knowledgable, plus, moreover, made all participants feel special, which made this nice tour even nicer. Highly recommended!

A cool guide introduces the nature and culture of the Mekong River and My Tho. You can eat the powerful elephant fish. - I enjoyed the various food experiences, including a delicious lunch, snake wine, and tropical fruits. Our tour guide, Mr. Jun (Tibet), not only explained the destinations, but also taught us Vietnamese, which was very enjoyable and helped us understand more. I am very satisfied that our objective of experiencing Vietnamese culture and nature was achieved. Thank you very much, Ms. Jun!

Grand day out - Our guide was brilliant, "K" originally from the Delta, which provides him with the local knowledge to inform the group about the area. Can't fault any of the booking/ pickup, etc, it was all flawless. Yes, it's a full on day, with a lot packed in: Pagoda, coconut farm, honey farm, traditional home etc, and yes, the locals do try to sell their goods, ( they have to make a living), but its not a hard sell and there's no pressure to buy. The lunch was great! All in all, it was a great value day with a lot to see with a knowledgeable guide!
