Overview
Available languages
Mobile ticket
The Mekong Delta is the southernmost region of Vietnam. It is often referred to as the rice bowl of Vietnam as it produces three harvests per year. The fertile Mekong Delta is also famous for its tropical fruits and flowers. The delta area marks the end of a 4,500km journey made by the Mekong River after having traveled through six countries. Mỹ Tho is one of the biggest cities in the Mekong Delta, dotted with serene Buddhist pagodas and surrounded by dense rivers. Many great destinations for visitors have been established by the local government and private companies, serving thousands of tourists every day. We recommend this tour for those who want to get an overview of the Mekong Delta for a few delightful hours.

5.00Nam was a great guide. He was knowledgeable and friendly. This was the best VIATOR tour I have ever taken! The special touches: fresh tropical fruits, honey tea, and fresh coconut juice made the trip memorable. Nam even thought ahead to buy ponchos for everyone before the heavy rains arrived in the afternoon.

5.00I went on this tour with family, and it was the perfect way to explore the Mekong Delta in just one day. We started at Vinh Tràng Temple, which was absolutely beautiful with its huge Buddha statues and peaceful atmosphere. From there, we visited several spots around Bến Tre and the surrounding villages, where we learned about local crafts and traditions—it really gave us a taste of authentic Vietnamese culture. One of the highlights was trying unique drinks: a honey green tea that was super refreshing, and even a shot of honey mixed with snake inside the jar (such a once-in-a-lifetime experience!). We also took a relaxing boat ride through the Delta, saw charming cottages, and walked through lush gardens. Our guide James made the day extra special—he was so kind, fun, and full of knowledge. He answered all our questions and kept the group engaged the whole time. The trip was packed with things to see and do, but it never felt rushed. It was the right mix of adventure, culture, and relaxation. Definitely 100% recommend this tour if you want to experience the beauty of the Mekong Delta in a day.
