Overview
Like an oasis surrounded by a submerged Melaleuca forest and a maze of narrow canals, Tan Lap floating village, located in Long An province, is a perfect eco-tourism site for visitors to experience Mekong Delta life and nature.
The best way to explore the floating village and forest is on a rowing boat, the ferryman will always be a guide, helping visitors discover and learn about the giant swamp, green vegetation or watch the blooming lotus pond. The boat ride through the Forest takes about 30 minutes.
The highlight of the Melaleuca forest is the 38-metre-tall watchtower, where tourists can admire the grandeur and vastness of the forest. There is a 5km long walking road through the Melaleuca forest, which is Vietnam’s longest. Aside from this 38-metre-tall watchtower, there is also an 18-metre-tall one.
Every afternoon, visitors can see hundreds of white storks and black Little Cormorants flying back after a day of seeking feed.

What to expect
Lang Noi Tan Lap
6h · Admission ticket included
– Boardwalk through the melaleuca forest — a raised wooden walkway winding beneath a canopy of melaleuca trees, locals call the fresh, medicinal-scented air an “herbal forest bath.”
– Traditional boat cruise: glide through the flooded forest aboard a classic slender wooden motorboat, the everyday transport of the wetland, enjoy hand rowing boat between the trees.
- The day goes to the experiences and less to walking between jungle.
– Great view Crescent Lake (Hồ Bán Nguyệt) — cool off in the calm, crescent-shaped lake at the heart of the wetland, a rare chance to actually get into this landscape, not just look at it.
– A genuinely local lunch — a relaxed, home-style Vietnamese lunch on-site, vegetarian option available on request.
– Lotus ponds & wetland wildlife — seasonal lotus blooms, birdlife and the quiet ecosystem of the Đồng Tháp Mười wetland, largely undisturbed by mass tourism.
