Itinerary
Discover the verdant beauty of the Mekong Delta on a day trip from Ho Chi Minh city. Travel in an air-conditioned minivan or bus and board a motorboat for a ride through islands on the Tien River. Enjoy a local lunch in an orchard and ride a rowboat under coconut trees on the Bao Dinh canal.
Depart from your Ho Chi Minh City hotel and head to the Mekong Delta by minivan or bus. Pass by green rice fields before arriving at the beautiful rural My Tho.
Go by motorized boat on the Tien River to the Qui (Tortoise islet). See the fishing port, boat-building workshops, and the Dragon, Phoenix, and Unicorn Islet. Walk into the village, where you can visit a local fruit garden and enjoy the tropical fruit while listening to Southern Vietnamese folk music performed by islanders. Join in the daily activities that the locals do and take in the atmosphere of this beautiful natural countryside. Visit the bee house, and take a picture of the pythons. Lunch will be served right in the heart of the orchard garden. The boat cruise will lead you through the Bao Dinh canal, entering Ben Tre province — the land of coconuts. Here you'll see a typical agricultural model called "Garden – Pond – Cage” before visiting the coconut candy-making shop. Next, enjoy a rowing boat trip on the small canal, fully covered by the shadow of the water coconut trees. After your boat ride, take a bike ride around the island before returning to the bus.

I got message 30 mins before the tour start. They told me they can’t pick me up and ask me tobe there at 7:50. It was in the rush hours and I couldn’t get taxi/grab so I were late 30 mins (8:30am). The tourguid told me he texted me but to the wrong number 🥲. Everything is okie after all. Maybe bc I’m a Vietnamese so I don’t see any special with the tour but we had good time with other travelers.
Unforgettable trip, lovely guide, highly recommend. Nice range of stops, information and activities, had a great time.
Thank you so much
The trip was extremely well organized and despite the slightly overrated nature of a few of the visits around the Mekong Delta, our guide Ha Thi Huong made the trip truly enjoyable. We definitely recommend it!
Well organized tour to the Mekong Delta and good value for our money. We expected some kind of booze cruise, but it was nice and interesting to see how the people produce honey tea, coconut candy... Lunch was good, the biketour short, the tour guide well informed and friendly and we really enjoyed the rowing boat trip. Although the bus trip (about three hours) was long and not that comfortable, I would recommend this tour to get an overview of the life on the Mekong Delta.
<p>Visiting the Vinh Trang Pagoda was a highlight. However, visiting the local village was a let down. The village was over crowded with tourists and the village people were not friendly at all. The repeatedly asked for money. It felt like the whole village was about getting extra money from the tourists. This tour was disappointing.</p>
<p>Great guide, lots to see and do, different boats to different islands. lovely food, saw the locals making their wares. Cannot express how much we enjoyed this day.</p>
