What to expect
The Mekong Delta tour will start with a pickup from your hotel. After around 2 hours of driving from Ho Chi Minh City, you'll reach the port to take a leisurely cruise on the Tien River to see 4 islets, represented as four mythical animals in Southeast Asia: Dragon, Kirin, Tortoise, and Phoenix.
Visit a honey bee farm and taste delicious honey tea with lemon, really good for your health. Enjoy a lot of tropical fruits featuring the typical characteristics of the Mekong Delta, and, for those looking for an adventure, touch pythons and take photos with them at the local python farm. Learn how to make delicious candies by hand at the coconut candy workshop, and get to know the melody of “Don Ca Tai Tu”, a genre of traditional folk music which is an indispensable spiritual cultural activity in Mekong Delta people's lives, and officially recognized by UNESCO as Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity.
Finally, relax on the rowing boat going through a mangrove palm canal, and continue to ride by horse-drawn carriage through the village as the way locals did in the 19th century. You cannot leave the Mekong Delta without visiting Vinh Trang Pagoda, in My Tho Town, considered the biggest and oldest ancient pagoda in Southern Vietnam, influenced by Asian and Western architecture and culture.
