Wooden boat navigating a narrow canal in the Mekong Delta

Tour Overview

Go beyond the typical day trip and immerse yourself in the lifeblood of Southern Vietnam. This tour takes you deeper into the Mekong Delta, with overnight stays in local homes, visits to less-crowded floating markets, and genuine interactions with the people who call the river home. From Ho Chi Minh City you'll transfer to Ben Tre for a bicycle tour through villages and coconut groves, staying overnight in a local homestay. The next day brings a boat trip to Can Tho through smaller canals and orchards, followed by an early-morning visit to the Cai Rang floating market and a transfer to Chau Doc to explore the Tra Su Cajuput Forest. Before returning to Ho Chi Minh City you'll climb Sam Mountain for sweeping views over the delta. With private boat trips, a homestay night and an English-speaking guide throughout, this itinerary rewards travelers seeking an authentic, unhurried side of Vietnam.
