Leave Can Tho behind and journey deep into the Mekong Delta’s protected wetlands on this peaceful eco-tour. Drift through quiet canals and mangrove forests on a traditional sampan, where bird calls echo over the water and native wildlife thrives.

5.00We had a fantastic and educational trip with Nga as our guide. We left early in the morning, which is highly recommended as there were no other tourists. Nga provided us and our three children with insight into the locals' work with basket weaving and then a boat trip through the water-filled canals. We can only give our highest recommendations for this trip and for Nga as a guide. Best regards, the Schou Nielsen family from Denmark.

5.00Instead of 7.15 we are 6.15 am picked up from our hotel. Good choice because the morning light is beautiful. Seen a lot of storks. Thi our guide could tell us a lot about the fauna. Very friendly and welcoming. Definitely recommended this tour. And leave earlier than indicated if you want to take nice pictures. Bedankt Thi. Jack and Maaike Netherlands

5.00Beautiful experience, the boat ride in a magical place, we saw a lot of birds and especially storks. Even small children enjoyed the boat, the visit to the rice fields and the short walk. Nhung, the guide, was great with both us and the kids.

5.00We enjoyed this half day trip to explore Mekong Delta. Entire trip was very good organised. We went to a place which is free from massive tourism and it made our experience special. I recommend this tour with this company.
Can Tho's Nature Reserve Tour

5.00I took the tour in late December (apparently right after many rainy days). It was a solo tour due to the lack of tour takers in the morning that day so Thi (my guide) took extra good care of me. She bought fruits and refreshments along with good quality wipes and tissue to eat the fruits with. Thi was very knowledgeable about the nature reserve and the surrounding area of Can Tho as she was from that area. It was a beautiful clear day and Thi was great in explaining the wildlife and fauna that we saw. We did see a good number of birds in their natural habitat and it was a stunning sight. I also had a great time afterwards with a trip to the basket weaving village where I met a lot of wonderful and warm people who should me how they made their baskets. The prices of the baskets were more than reasonable for the time and effort taken to make them so I bought a couple of tiny ones for my family back home. Overall I would highly recommend this tour because everyone involved seemed very passionate about what they do and they are thoughtful of their customers' expectations. I've heard that this tour is new to Can Tho and in my opinion a definite step up from the usual river tour which I took a few times in the past.
Beautiful, peaceful and fascinating. Do not miss this unique experience!!

5.00Tour guide gave us an unparalleled level of service, picking us up at the hotel - knew the area well and shared so much information with us! We visited a small village where they made bamboo baskets, we got to see a window into Vietnamese life that was unlike anything we have seen in our travels here. Then we went to a nature reserve where we had a breathtaking tour through the jungle on a boat with stops along the way. Can not recommend highly enough!
Absolutely exceptional!

5.00This tour was amazing! The first part was a visit to a village where they made bamboo baskets- everyone in the village was so welcoming. The highlight was meeting a family who has been making baskets for three generations, they showed us how they did this and even let us try our hand at basket weaving. We then headed to the nature reserve where we were greeted and taken to a boat that toured us through canals filled with water hyacinths, tropical trees and plants, and birds. Stops included an observatory that we could climb to see hundreds of birds roosting, and later a garden area with bridges and many beautiful plants. Our tour guide was very helpful and spoke great English, she was knowledgeable and made the whole experience wonderful! Highly recommended!
