Mekong Delta Full-Day Tour from Ho Chi Minh City
Start the day with morning pickup at your Ho Chi Minh City hotel. Board a bus for the scenic drive to My Tho, with a stop at Ben Luc to visit a distinctive Vinh Trang temple. Upon arrival in My Tho, transfer into a motor boat for a cruise along the Mekong River, passing fish cages and floating houses along the way, and enjoying views of classic Mekong Delta landscapes. Stop at a small island in the river to visit a family home, listen to traditional Vietnamese music, and taste fresh fruits, honey tea, and honey wine. To continue into the smaller canals that branch off the main waterway, board a rowing boat that’s maneuverable and perfect for ducking under foot bridges and overhanging plants. Then stop at a restaurant for a set lunch of Vietnamese food. After lunch, return to the larger boat for the cruise back to My Tho, where you’ll meet the bus for the return trip to Ho Chi Minh City. This tour concludes with drop-off at your hotel.
