From HCM City: Discover Mekong Delta and Coconut Village
With its stilted villages and scenic farms, the Mekong Delta offers enough to experience that it’s difficult to see the highlights on a day trip from Ho Chi Minh, especially on your own. But this guided tour makes it possible: Visit a family home, boat through canals, and upgrade to include a bike tour.
Highlights
- Enjoy the best of the Mekong Delta in a day trip from Ho Chi Minh
- Boat through canals, meet a family, and taste fruits
- Includes lunch and transportation; upgrade for a bike tour
- Choose from different group sizes or a private tour
What to expect
After pickup at your central Ho Chi Minh hotel, relax on the scenic journey to My Tho by air-conditioned bus. Stop en route at Ben Luc to visit a temple, then cruise along the Mekong River by motorized boat. Pass rice paddies, fish cages, and stilted houses, and dock at an island to visit a home. Meet the family and taste fruits, honey tea, and honey wine as you chat about their lives and listen to traditional music. Board a small rowing boat to navigate narrow canals, passing under bridges and relishing the tranquility and scenery. Then, enjoy a classic Vietnamese lunch at a restaurant. Finish your tour back at your departure point.
