Mekong Delta Tours & Trips
Ever considered a journey through Vietnam's Mekong Delta, a place where life unfolds on the water? Picture this: floating markets stirring to life before sunrise, navigating slender canals that snake through orchards, and visiting villages that are only reachable by boat. The Delta's completely different from northern Vietnam - it's lush, tropical, slower-paced. You'll stay with local families, taste tropical fruits and experience Vietnamese life that revolves entirely around these waterways.

Before arriving some doubts arose in my mind. Have I done well by getting a tour to Vietnam by web? But I had to tell tour thai this was one of the best trips and services we received during the 2 months we spent in different ansían countries! Always in touch, caring and funny guides, beautiful scenarios... really 5 stars quality!

great trip!! we covered lots in the short ten days, and it didn't seem too rushed. our tour leader, mr t, was the BEST! made everything so much fun - even when the weather was against us. this trip had everything - moments of relaxation, but also hustle and bustle, shopping opportunities, cultural sites and insights, lots of great food, and fun! would definitely recommend it if you want to go to vietnam but don't have too much time to spare :)

How long should I plan to spend exploring the Mekong Delta?
A stay of 2-4 days provides enough time to see the essential sights of this water-rich region. Three days strikes the right balance allowing visits to My Tho Ben Tre Can Tho and Chau Doc at a comfortable pace. As one TourRadar traveler mentioned "The 3-day tour gave us the perfect amount of time to see both the bustling markets and peaceful countryside while staying at lovely hotels like the Victoria Chau Doc."
What types of accommodation can I expect in the Mekong Delta region?
From upscale properties like the Victoria Can Tho Resort to family-run homestays in Cai Be and Ben Tre the Delta offers varied sleeping options.

As one TourRadar traveler shared: "The homestay experience was genuinely warm and we felt very welcomed by Mr. Tang and his wife. Dinner was a delight!"
When is the best time to visit the Mekong Delta region?
December through April marks the dry season when clear skies and mild temperatures create ideal conditions for exploring. This weather makes it easy to visit the busy Cai Rang Floating Market or walk through Ben Tre's coconut farms.

The centrally located Harmony Saigon Hotel in District 1 serves as a convenient starting point during these months.

A TourRadar traveler commented: "The mix of transport made the journey exciting - from modern buses to traditional wooden boats."
Is it possible to combine a Mekong Delta tour with other Vietnam destinations?
The Delta's location makes it easy to pair with visits to Ho Chi Minh City Phu Quoc Island or Cambodia.
