Overview

Discover the heart of the Mekong Delta on this full-day journey from Ho Chi Minh City through the waterways of Vietnam’s “Rice Bowl.” After a two-hour transfer to My Tho, board a motorized wooden boat and cruise along the Tien River, passing floating fish villages and the four iconic islands of Long, Lan, Qui, and Phung.
Continue through scenic Xep Canal, then switch to an auto-rickshaw to explore quiet village paths. Along the way, enjoy honey tea and tropical fruits in a local garden and visit a traditional workshop to see how coconut candy and rice wine are made.
Later, take a peaceful rowing boat ride through a creek shaded by water coconut palms. After a walk through fruit orchards, enjoy an authentic Mekong Delta lunch at a local restaurant before returning by boat to My Tho and transferring back to Ho Chi Minh City. This immersive day blends local traditions, river life, and southern Vietnam’s natural beauty.

  • Daily life at the Mekong Delta is a leisurely 2-hour drive outside of Ho Chi Minh City, so be ready to welcome your guide and driver right after breakfast at your hotel in the former Vietnamese capital. Passing local communities and taking well-paved motorways, the 170,000-inhabitant counting town of My Tho marks the entrance into the Tien Giang province. It is right here where you get your first impression of the ‘rice bowl of Vietnam’ as hundreds of rice paddy fields province multiple harvests each year. It may not be the place for seeing the floating markets but in and around the town, life, as it has been for generations, makes it worth the visit. (pass by)
