Which Mekong Delta Tour Is Right for You?

Every traveler has different interests, so we’ve created a variety of Mekong Delta tours to suit every travel style.

First-Time Visitors

If this is your first visit to the Mekong Delta, start with our Authentic Mekong Delta Tour 1 Day. This Ben Tre experience combines peaceful waterways, coconut villages, traditional workshops, a hand-rowed sampan ride and local cuisine in one full-day trip from Ho Chi Minh City.

Families

Families who prefer a relaxed pace and fewer crowds can choose the Authentic Mekong Delta Tour 1 Day. For families who want more flexibility with children or older travelers, a private option allows the itinerary and pace to be adjusted more easily.

Couples

Couples looking for a more comfortable and distinctive experience can choose the Mekong Delta Tour by Luxury Speedboat. The scenic journey along the Saigon River adds a premium element to the day while avoiding much of the road transfer.

Food Lovers

Food-focused travelers will enjoy the Authentic Mekong Delta Tour 1 Day, with opportunities to taste tropical fruits, honey tea, coconut products and regional dishes while visiting local communities in Ben Tre.

Nature and Culture Lovers

If you want more time in the delta, choose the Mekong Delta 2 Days Floating Market Tour. An overnight itinerary gives you more time to experience Can Tho, river life and the floating market instead of fitting everything into a single day.

Travelers Short on Time

If you want to see two of southern Vietnam’s major attractions in one day, the Cu Chi Tunnel and Mekong Delta 1 Day Tour combines the Cu Chi Tunnels with a Mekong Delta experience in a single itinerary.
