A trip to the Mekong Delta offers a glimpse into the unique and distinct agrarian life of the vibrant southern Delta region. You will enjoy a cruise along the Mekong River to one of the Islands (located in the town of My Tho) where you will be entertained with traditional music while enjoying some tea sweetened with bee’s honey and seasonal fresh fruits.

You will then take a paddle-boat to cruise through the narrow canals of the Mekong. One interesting thing about transportation in this region is that almost everybody here travels by boats or ships because the number of canals is very interlaced. Here a system of transportation on water is developed so much. By travelling on canals, you can discover many distinct things such as along with the banks, a number of coconut trees grow side by side.

The paddle-boat ride provides an interesting look into the local cottage industry of making coconut candies. You will then have a lunch of ‘Elephant-Ear Fish’ combined with other delicious Vietnamese dishes - a local speciality. Visit Vinh Trang Pagoda, which is recognized as a national historical and cultural relic with distinctive architectural and spiritual, a place worth visiting should not be missed.
