Highlights

  • It is said that a vacation to Ho Chi Minh City and the South of Vietnam would not be completed without visiting Mekong Delta. Take a full day to the Mekong Delta which is a great experience to explore the amazing local life of people in the West South of Vietnam. You will be impressed with the transportation on the Mekong River. If you have a short time to visit or stop over at Ho Chi Minh City, we recommend you take a full day to Ben Tre - the gateway to Mekong Delta.

DAY 1: HO CHI MINH CITY TO MEKONG DELTA: MY THO - BEN TRE - CAN THO (Meal: Lunch, Diner)

08.00am, Mekong Delta tour from Ho Chi Minh 2 days - travel by coach/car to My Tho. 9:30am - 10.00am, arrive in My Tho. Board a wooden motor boat (20 minutes) to Unicorn Island. On this boat along the river’s bank, you’ll be passing through natural creeks, interesting fisherman's port; stilt houses (half on land, half on water). From there, we’ll take you to a bee farm where you have a chance to taste a tasteful cup of authentic honey tea. After that we walk around quiet villages and watch the life of rural people in Mekong Delta. Things get small and personal now. We are divided into many groups (if you take group tour) and get on small row boats. During this 15 minutes trip, you’ll witness all kind of interesting transportation modes that local people use to move around, while enjoying the fresh air along the canal and beautiful water coconut tree scenery. Away from the city, that is it all about! When you feel it's enough for the serenity, let's get back to the large motor boat for something different. You'll cruise a canal whose 2 long sides are orchards (seasonable orchards). After that, we cruise to a village where the sweat smell coconut candies are in the air. To satisfy your curiosity, we'll get to a village that has many small shops that make coconut candy and handcrafted items from coconut trees of Mekong Delta. You might learn that those people can amazingly make dozens of useful products out of coconut trees. It is indeed inseparable from the villagers' life. Then we move to Vinh Trang Pagoda. After that, you visit Phoenix Island (Coconut Monk Temple, Crocodile farm, Ostrich…) Now let's have a lunch the restaurant. One of the boat’s stops during this trip is at a seasonable orchard that has many different types of tasty tropical fruits for your enjoyments. You can enjoy the fruits for free while checking out the folk music that is typical to only the people in Southern Vietnam. As your journey ends, you will return to My Tho by motorized boat and then travel to Can Tho. Check-in hotel and stay overnight in Can Tho.

DAY 2: MEKONG DELTA: CAN THO - CAI RANG FLOATING MARKET - HO CHI MINH CITY (Meal: Breakfast, Lunch)

After breakfast, around 7:15 am, we board a boat and travel for about 40 minutes to get to our first spectacular landscape ---- Cai Rang floating market… This is the largest of its type in the whole Mekong delta. During this visit, you'll have a chance to board a merchant boat that sells pineapples which come from Can Tho City. After that, we continue on our riverine route for 5-7 minutes and then on foot for about 5 minutes to reach a noodle and a rice paper factories. Next, we explore tropical fruit garden in Can Tho. Last place to visit today, Truc Lam Phuong Nam Buddhist Meditation Monastery: It is the place for people who want to know about Zen and it is one of the most beautiful temple in Vietnam. With a large area, 2 lakes, specific structure and loads of statues. It makes you feel relaxed! The time now should be around 12 noon. Time for lunch! Let's go back to Can Tho for that. We end our sightseeing trip at downtown Can Tho. On the way back to Ho Chi Minh by coach/private car, we'll have a stop at an interesting point to rest and also have photographs.
