Discover the beauty and traditions of southern Vietnam on a full-day Mekong Delta excursion from Ho Chi Minh City. Travel in comfort with an air-conditioned bus/Van/VIP limousine (depending on your option) to Mỹ Tho, the gateway to the Mekong Delta, and board a traditional wooden long-tail boat for a scenic cruise along the Tiền River. Glide past the four famous islets of Dragon, Unicorn, Tortoise, and Phoenix.

Along the way, make several cultural stops. Watch local artisans hand-crafting coconut sweets, taste the sweets straight from the pot, and enjoy a refreshing honey–lime tea at a family-run apiary. Walk through a lush fruit orchard, where you’ll be welcomed with seasonal tropical fruits and live đờn ca tài tử folk music, a UNESCO-recognized tradition of the Delta.

Next, switch to a hand-rowed sampan boat for a peaceful journey through palm-fringed canals, then ride a horse-drawn cart through a village path to experience rural life.

Pause for a delicious garden-restaurant lunch showcasing Mekong specialities, such as crispy elephant-ear fish spring rolls, caramelised clay-pot fish, and fresh local vegetables. Vegetarian options are available on request.

After lunch, enjoy more time to relax in the countryside before returning by boat to the pier. Rejoin your driver and transfer back to Ho Chi Minh City, arriving at your hotel in the late afternoon (approximately 17:00–18:00).
