Amazing boat tour through the Coconut Palms

5.00My sister and I booked the tour very spontaneously a day before. We wanted to be a bit more flexible and on this tour you could choose the time and one of the pick-up places. The communication in English worked very well, and it was great that someone looked after us. They texted us immediately and offered great communication and help! Our captain, Quyen gave us an amazing boat tour to remember! He was very friendly and showed us around. Just beautiful nature and animals around you, no tourists (except us haha) and the best fried banana you can imagine. It was a really great experience we had. They even helped us find a bus for our next stop when we wanted to move on. So lovely & helpful! Would totally recommend and do it again!

5.00We had a fantastic tour. My wife and I were first picked up by the friendly guide An and her colleague, to ride on the back of the scooter to the starting spot. The drive to the starting spot was already fun, and along the way there was plenty to see. We left sitting in a beanbag already from a very nice area by sailboat. Because there was little wind, we continued later via motor drive. We sailed at a very leisurely pace through truly beautiful territory. Nature was breathtakingly beautiful. At one point we saw a coconut tree in the water. The boatman stopped the boat, and climbed the tree to get us coconuts from the tree. We could drink these and then eat the flesh. There's no such thing as fresh coconut. Then continue, relax lying in a beanbag enjoying the beautiful nature, and of course take pictures and videos. The guide An really let us enjoy, also told us a lot and we recommend her wholeheartedly. A tour to remember.

5.00We had some trouble starting the trip because getting there from Ho Chi Ming by Bus early in the morning was a bit stressful. There were little complications about the Pick-Up point. But An and her Family made the best out of it. They were so accommodate! As soon as we met An we had a wonderful time. The boat trip starts at An‘s house. We expected to see this Beautiful side of Mekong Delta with small rivers between palms all around and we werent dissapointed! We got Lucky because despite the Monsun the sun came out. During the trip An served fresh fried bananas and Sweet patatos, which were so tasty! In Addition they picked a water coconut for us to try! All in all the Trip to Mekong Delta was a wonderful experience! Additionally An speaks very good english which was great for us to ask a lot of questions. We highly recommend to Book This Trip if you want to enjoy the Mekong Delta!

5.00The view is along the river. Chi, the host, brought banana cakes that her sister had freshly made. It is a great experience which I strongly recommend. Staying at Ba Danh Homestay was such a nice and warm welcome from the entire family and the sweet dogs which keep you company while you relax on the porch. Thank you
