Join us on a day trip to the Mekong Delta, where our guide and driver will pick you up at your hotel in Ho Chi Minh City. We will then drive 1.5 hours to My Tho, with a stop along the way for refreshments and a restroom break.
Upon arrival, we will board a motorboat and cruise along the canals and channels of the Mekong River, passing by the famous islands of Dragon, Unicorn, Turtle, and Phoenix. We will visit a floating fish house where villagers cultivate freshwater fish and shrimp, a major export product of the region.
Crossing the river, we will stop at a traditional workshop to learn how coconut candy and honey are made, while enjoying some samples and traditional music. You can also experience hand-rowing a sampan along the shady canal and explore the villages on a Xe Loi, local transportation.
Lunch will be served at a riverside restaurant with a delicious Vietnamese 5-course set menu. Please inform us in advance if you have any food allergies, are a vegetarian, or observe Halal.
After lunch, we will visit Vinh Trang pagoda, an ancient architectural gem with many Buddha statues. We will then drive back to Ho Chi Minh City, where you will be dropped off at your hotel. Dinner is on your own.
