From Ho Chi Minh City: Mekong Delta with Lunch Group

Discover the Mekong Delta on a day trip from Ho Chi Minh City. Cruise along the river, try mud fishing, visit a coconut workshop, and enjoy a traditional Vietnamese lunch.
Escape the busy streets of Ho Chi Minh City and discover the peaceful countryside and vibrant local culture of the Mekong Delta on a full-day journey to My Tho and Ben Tre.

Your adventure begins with a comfortable drive from Ho Chi Minh City to My Tho, passing rice fields, fruit orchards and rural villages along the way. Upon arrival, board a local motorboat and cruise along the Mekong River, taking in views of riverside communities, traditional boats, small islands and everyday life along the water.

Continue to Ben Tre, a province famous for its coconut palms and traditional coconut products. Visit a local family-run workshop to learn how fresh coconuts are transformed into traditional coconut candy and other local specialties. You will have the opportunity to taste freshly made coconut candy and enjoy refreshing coconut water while learning about the importance of coconuts to the local economy.

Leave the larger waterways behind and experience the Mekong Delta from a different perspective on a traditional sampan ride. Glide through narrow canals surrounded by coconut palms and tropical vegetation as local boatmen take you deeper into the peaceful countryside. Along the way, see small houses, gardens and waterways that form an important part of daily life in the Mekong Delta.

Next, visit a local garden and sample a selection of seasonal tropical fruits. Enjoy a cup of honey tea and experience Đờn Ca Tài Tử, a traditional form of Southern Vietnamese music that reflects the culture and spirit of the Mekong Delta.

Enjoy a delicious Vietnamese lunch at a local restaurant, featuring traditional dishes prepared with fresh local ingredients. A vegetarian option can also be arranged upon request.

Before heading back to Ho Chi Minh City, visit Vinh Trang Pagoda, one of the most well-known Buddhist temples in the Mekong Delta. Explore its peaceful gardens, admire its impressive Buddha statues, and discover the unique combination of Vietnamese, Chinese and European architectural influences found throughout the pagoda.

After a day of river cruises, countryside scenery, local food and cultural experiences, relax on the journey back to Ho Chi Minh City.

This experience offers more than sightseeing—it is a chance to slow down, meet local people, taste regional specialties and discover the unique way of life that has developed along the Mekong River.
