5.00Highly recommend this experience while staying in Vietnam. Our guide Lee ensured a fantastic day full of local knowledge, food and adventure. The kayaks, bike and boat were a fantastic way to explore the Mekong Delta and plenty of stops along the way to discover the markets, local area and Vietnamese cuisine. This day was absolutely worth the money with only a group of 3 of us in total. Great personal experience with Lee. Conveniently also included prompt hotel pickup in the morning and drop off at the end of the day.
Henry, great kayak and bike guide

5.00Our guide Henry was very attentive and took care of the group as well as his family. We learned a lot about Vietnam in the Mekong Strait. Always very encouraging and considerate, he knew how to inform us all along the trip by kayak as by bike which made the experience very pleasant for my whole family.
Exciting adventurous day!

5.00We had an exciting adventurous day off the beaten track! We booked to go on a group tour but no one else booked so we ended up paying extra to have a private tour instead. We felt like VIPs! Henry was a great tour guide - friendly, knowledgeable and energetic! There was a lot of time spent driving to Mekong Delta and back again - around 2.5 hours each way. So if you don’t want to spent a lot of time driving, this tour is not for you. However the drive was well worth it for us! Once there, we went on a boat along the river and were able to steer the boat for a while, did some kayaking (an easy kayak - around 40 mins), then biking (flat, easy, around 19km, stopping for lunch half way). Lots of food throughout the day - coffee, fruit, water, coconut water, and lunch! We definitely didn’t go without! Definitely recommend this tour, the company & Henry. We had an amazing day!
A great day a culture and adventure

5.00The Mekong Delta tour was absolutely brilliant. It had everything: culture, adventure, fun and Lee, our tour guide, who made it an experience we will treasure always. The floating market was fascinating, and we enjoyed walking around the different traders, seeing and smelling the local foods and produce!! The boat trip along the river was beautiful, and kayaking in the river was fun, stopping off for a local beer on the way! Then back on the bikes, exploring the island with a lunch stop at a friendly local restaurant, which was delicious. Lee could see we were an athletic family, and he lived up to the challenge, giving us an extra-long bike ride, which was wonderful. A great Adventure for sure! Thank you
A perfect day

5.00Our guide, Bao was excellent from start to finish. The boat trip and kayaking were great. We got caught in a heavy storm which made the day more fun! The cycle was good, safe .. would maybe benefit from a few more stops Lunch at a local restaurant. Again hosted excellently Deffo not a tourist trap.. a very insightful view of the Mekong as a local.
Great day out - highly recommend

5.00Absolutely fantastic day out led by the lovely Quang. We were collected from our hotel exactly on time and set off for the Mekong, we had a coffee break on the way at a little cafe, Quang gave us info about the areas we were travelling through which was informative and interesting. We stopped at the local market before boarding a boat to take us to where we would kayak, again we were led safely by Quang. Then we returned to the boat and picked up the boats they’d previously asked for heights so the bikes were matched to us and ready to go when we arrived. This was my favourite bit seeing the lovely area and seeing outside the city, it’s a lovely place and really interesting to see how local people live. We stopped for a locally prepared lunch then did the final 10k of the bike ride, we are 50+ and reasonably fit the pace was easy going and Quang offered stops along the way if we needed them, most of the time we didn’t! Again lots of interesting info and stories, we felt we’d learnt more about Vietnam and Vietnamese traditions and customs than the rest of our time here. It’s a great day out, experience some authentic culture and sights - I’d highly recommend- thank you!
Incredible!

5.00What a fantastic experience! We had the most amazing day with our guide Bao and recommend this as an absolute must-do! You do need a certain amount of fitness to do this, but they adjust the itinerary to match the ability/level of the group. (I am not at all in shape and haven’t been on a bike in years, but was able to easily handle it no problem). The area of the Mekong we kayaked was very calm and the biking route we took was mostly flat, which made it easier in the heat. They also take lots of breaks and passed out lots of water so that really helped too. We toured a (very) local market and sampled all kinds of local fruit, had a nice and very local lunch, rode a sampan boat, and all in all an incredible day. It was totally off-the-beaten path and not at all touristy, which I loved. But a special shout out to Bao, our guide: he did an incredible job, constantly looked out for us as we kayaked and rode, and really made us feel comfortable. Lastly, the company and staff are well-organized and put-together - will definitely do this again next time we’re in Vietnam. Thank you so much!
