The adventure

What this trip lacks in length, it more than makes up for in unforgettable adventure and rich cultural immersion through Vietnam’s mesmerizing Mekong Delta. Starting in Ho Chi Minh City, journey south to experience the timeless rhythm of life on the river. Explore floating markets, glide through mangrove-lined canals, and stroll through quaint villages brimming with charm. Over three incredible days, savour mouthwatering local dishes and connect with the warm-hearted locals who call this serene yet vibrant region home.

Meet your group early this morning and get right to it! Travel to the beautiful Mekong River Delta, south of Ho Chi Minh City, and experience the local way of living. Visit two of the main regions of the Delta, Ben Tre and Cai Thia. Cruise through the river in a traditional sampan boat, bike along the waterways and spend time with the family at your local guesthouse preparing a dinner of spring rolls and Banh Xeo before a lantern lit evening performance by the local villagers.

Depart your homestay after breakfast and visit the community riverside market. From there, board a boat to arrive to the Pottery Brick Village, known as the Red Kingdom, and explore by bicycle. Then drive to the last region we'll visit on the Mekong Delta called Can Tho. Enjoy a free afternoon at leisure to explore the area. Opt to do some bird watching or visit the local town.
