Cu Chi Tunnels and Mekong Delta Tour From Ho Chi Minh City
Meet a driver at your hotel in District 1 of Ho Chi Minh City, then board a climate-controlled bus for the 44-mile (71-km) trip to My Tho, a thriving market town on the Tien Giang River. Continue your trip into the Mekong Delta on a motorized river boat, navigating past riverside villages and farm fields on your way to Unicorn Island, where you’ll see a fisherman’s port bristling with stilt houses. Pause for a snack of fresh fruits and locally-made treats, then continue to Turtle Island, a tiny river islet covered with fruit trees and lush vegetation. From there, you’ll transfer into a traditional hand-rowed boat that’s ideal for navigating narrow canals and exploring the quieter side of the Mekong Delta. Your next stop is at a local bee farm, where you’ll break for tea sweetened with local honey, and listen to traditional music that’s only found in the southern part of Vietnam. Visit a nearby coconut village to see how coconuts are transformed into handcrafts and coconut candies, then begin the return trip by boat to My Tho. This full-day Mekong Delta trip concludes with transfer back to Ho Chi Minh City, and drop-off at your hotel.
