Full description

Discover the Mekong Delta area on this guided day trip from Ho Chi Minh. See infamous sites like the Vinh Trang pagoda, the Tien River, and the Tan Thach canal before having lunch at a local restaurant.

Start your excursion by taking a bus ride through the breathtaking rice field scenery along National Highway 1, which will then bring you to the beautiful rural district of Trung Luong. Upon arriving at My Tho, visit the sacred Vinh Trang pagoda.

Then, take a leisurely cruise along the Tien River to view the four beautiful islands of Dragon, Unicorn, Phoenix, and Tortoise. Pass by the fish rafts along the Tien River, overlooking the Rach Mieu Bridge.

Stroll along the village road, visit an orchard, and enjoy seasonal fruit and honey tea to the sound of Southern Vietnamese folk music performed by locals. Afterward, ride a hand-rowed sampan through the Tan Thach canal.

Then, visit a coconut candy mill and continue your boat trip along the small canal under the shadow of the water coconut trees. End your experience by enjoying lunch at a local restaurant.

Our tour guide Peter was very friendly and gave a great tour! I would recommend for anyone who wants a long tour filled with lots of smaller events like a singing group, coconut candy making and fruit tasting. It was a bit long for me and too on the touristy side but I could see many enjoying it. It was great as a long day out.

Bao our tour guide, did a great job at taking care of us. We were 10 people on this tour. We enjoyed many, many places that Bao took us to. We saw temples and statues, but I loved the nature parts the best. We went on several trips on the water in different locations and walked through forests. Saw coconut candy making and drinks with snake poison and scorpions. One of us drank some snake poison 😎. There were loads of live animals too - crocs, snakes, and more. We got to ”wear” a snake and hold a colony of bees. And was served some strange food and drinks. Many good experiences to tell back home. Seeing fish with legs was wierd☺️. Bao is a very kind and caring person. Very comfortable to be around. I strongly recommend both him as a guide and the tour itself. There was more to enjoy than any of us on the tour had expected.
