Mekong Delta Private Tour 2 Days
Tour Highlights
About This Tour
The Mekong Delta is Vietnam’s gentle “river paradise” – a world of waterways, orchards, coconut palms, and village rhythms that move at a calmer pace. Just west of Ho Chi Minh City, the delta is famous as the country’s major rice bowl and a rich land of fruits and vegetables, where daily life still revolves around rivers and boats.
This 2 Days 1 Night Mekong Tour to Ben Tre & Can Tho combines the delta’s most iconic experiences in one easy, scenic journey: hidden water coconut canals, traditional local crafts, sampan rides through green waterways, and a sunrise boat trip to Cai Rang Floating Market, Vietnam’s biggest floating market. Expect authentic encounters, lush landscapes, and a true taste of Mekong life.
