Mekong Delta Day Tour from Ho Chi Minh City

Ho Chi Minh City to the Mekong Delta

Meet your guide in central District 1 and travel south by air-conditioned vehicle. The road leaves the city behind and passes rice fields, small towns and agricultural landscapes before reaching the Mekong Delta.

River Cruise and Local Workshops

Board a local boat for a cruise along the river and smaller waterways. Visit a traditional brick kiln, learn how coconut candy, oil and fibre are produced, and see how local families use materials available throughout the delta.

Continue through the countryside by bicycle or tuk-tuk, depending on your preference and local conditions. Stop at a mat-weaving home and enjoy seasonal fruit or coconut water [Rew Rew to confirm].

Lunch and Coconut Canal

Enjoy a home-cooked lunch at a riverside house, with vegetarian and vegan meals available when requested in advance. Afterwards, board a small sampan for a gentle row through a narrow coconut-lined canal.
