The special point of the Mekong tour is a boat trip on small rivers and a rowing boat trip through scissor canals.

Going on a boat, you can closely see the Mekong Delta's natural beauty by shifting from the busy city view to the peaceful, lush view along the waterway. Next, you will take the rowing boat to go sightseeing at the so-called "Water Palms Canal." You will be stunned by the breathtaking natural view of the Ben Tre River area. Plus, you can explore the real local life on the river. Besides, we can stop by a tranquil village and travel by tuk-tuk through coconut-shady paths. So, come to Ben Tre and take a boat tour with us!

Note: We can pick you up at your hotel (located in Ho Chi Minh ) with a modest extra fee. Dont hesitate to contact us for more information

The tour was great the only issue we found was communication. The tour guide had limited ability to understand English. Made us stop asking questions.

This is my second time visiting the Mekong Delta. The river scenery is beautiful, and the food is delicious. The customer service and tour guide were very friendly and enthusiastic, and the prices were reasonable. I’m very satisfied and will definitely recommend this trip to my friends.

Lively day to discover the customs and traditions of the people who live on the Mekong. With guide Giuseppe we took a boat and went to see the production of bricks , then on a gondola we crossed canals and stopped to see the processing of coconut, cutting, rasping, squeezing to get coconut milk and boiling it with other ingredients to get candy (taste them are chewy and very good). Then they made us taste the variety of local fruits , then we went to lunch always on the river, having a hearty lunch , with a particular grilled fish similar to carp. Finally we saw the processing of papyrus, they produce durable mats. Exceptional and fun tuc-tuc return. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.

That was a great tour. Great authentic insight into river life, the importance and use of the Coconut here on site. For me personally full score. My guide Jade was very informative and gave me a lot of background information. Travelers want to discover, tourists want to find something. I've discovered a lot!!
A great day out with a wonderful guide

I did a half day tour with Nam Bo Tours which was arranged from the Diamond Star hotel in Ben Tre as a private tour for our group of eight people. We had a really great time, Jade is an excellent and knowledgeable tour guide who made sure we all had time to see and do everything we wanted, and were comfortable all day. The tour itself was so much fun, everyone had a fantastic time. It was also great value for money. Thanks Jade!
