Overview

Experience the culture, flavors, and river life of the Mekong Delta day tour from Ho Chi Minh City.

Travel by air-conditioned vehicle toward My Tho with an English-speaking guide, then visit Vinh Trang Pagoda, one of the region’s most well-known cultural landmarks. Continue to the pier and board a motorboat to cruise along the Tien River, passing small islands, fishing rafts, floating houses, and riverside village life.

Explore local village roads and orchards, taste seasonal tropical fruits, enjoy honey tea, and listen to traditional folk music performed by local residents. Continue with a hand-rowed sampan ride through a narrow canal shaded by water coconut trees, one of the most memorable moments of the day.
