Experience local life and taste seasonal fruits and many local dishes
Cruise into the lush heart of Vietnam’s Mekong Delta on a deluxe group boat trip from Ho Chi Minh City to My Tho—an adventure that promises both relaxation and authentic encounters. Departing around 8:00 am, you’ll journey to My Tho, nestled on the left bank of the mighty Mekong River. Board a traditional sampan and glide along scenic waters, circling the famed Phoenix, Unicorn, Dragon, and Tortoise islands.
A highlight of this trip is your stop at Unicorn Island, where a gentle walk reveals vibrant tropical fruit gardens and a live folk music performance by local artists. Drift deeper into the countryside with a hand-rowed canoe ride through tranquil Thoi Son canal, then visit a family-run honeybee farm to sample fresh honey tea and delectable coconut candies.
After a hearty lunch at a local restaurant, the tour offers a delightful option: cycle around Tan Thach village, engaging with villagers and gaining insight into the Mekong Delta’s rural lifestyle. Prefer to rest? Relax in a hammock and soak up the cool breeze. By 5 pm, you’ll return to Saigon, enriched by a day filled with natural beauty, culture, and personal connections.
What sets this tour package apart is the hands-on immersion in local traditions—perfect for those seeking more than just sightseeing on their Mekong Delta journey.
