MEKONG DELTA – MY THO – BEN TRE – DAY TOUR (max 12p)
$38.00
From the lushly verdant rice paddies of the rolling countryside to the rich and buzzing waterways that serve as a vital lifeline, the Mekong Delta is a place that never sleeps! You’ll sample its unique charm and exciting delights as you pass through each village. We run this day tour with maximum 12 people.
Leaving the hustle and bustle of Ho Chi Minh City at around 7:30am and start your trip to depart for My Tho. The town lies on the left side of the Mekong River. Upon arrival we visit Vinh Trang Pagoda, which dates back to the late 19th century. We then board a traditional sampan to cruise down the river around four beautiful islands known as Dragon, Unicorn, Phoenix and Tortoise islands.
We stop at Unicorn Island for a short walk around over a ‘countryside lane’ to see orchards and enjoy tropical fruits and folk song music, which is performed by local people and visit the fruit plantation.
We take a leisurely boat ride on a hand-rowed sampan through Thoi Son canal and soak in the beauty of the countryside and visit a family business of honey-bee farmers and enjoy honey tea and coconut candy at their workshop.
We have lunch at a local restaurant and some free time to relax.
In the afternoon we cycle around the Tan Thach village, meet the local villagers to experience local daily life in the Mekong Delta.
Some last time to relax before we return to Ho Chi Minh City where the trip ends at your hotel at around 17:30.

Useful information
Especially for the north and central Vietnam;
In the period between November and April, the weather is variable, from sunny to cold and rainy. It is advisable during this period to bring some rain gear with some warmer clothes. In the period from April to November, it is good to pack a hat with a wide brim, sunscreen (at least SPF15) and a reliable insect repellent. A thin rain poncho is useful all year round.
The south of Vietnam is generally a lot warmer all year round, so warm clothing is not really necessary.
