Descrizione
Explore the Mekong Delta on a budget-friendly group tour. Enjoy a scenic river cruise, sampan ride, honey tea, tropical fruits, Southern folk music, and a delicious riverside lunch. Max 25 guests.
Escape the bustling streets of Ho Chi Minh City and journey into the serene heart of the Mekong Delta. Your day begins with a comfortable drive through lush green rice paddies, setting the tone for an authentic countryside retreat. Arriving in My Tho, you will first visit the historic Vinh Trang Pagoda, a peaceful sanctuary renowned for its striking fusion of Asian and European architectural styles surrounded by ornate gardens and grand Buddha statues.
Next, board a wooden motorboat to cruise along the picturesque Tien River. Glide past traditional floating fish farms, iconic landmarks, and four serene islets named after mythical creatures: Dragon, Unicorn, Phoenix, and Tortoise. Arriving at a lush island orchard, take a restful pause under coconut palms to savor fresh tropical fruits while listening to the soothing melodies of traditional Southern Vietnamese folk music performed live by local artists.
The journey continues deeper into the rural lifestyle as you visit a local bee farm to sample warm honey tea infused with kumquat. Afterwards, step into a traditional hand-rowed sampan to navigate the shade-dappled Tan Thach canal, where nipa palms curve over quiet waterways. A stop at a family-run coconut candy workshop offers a firsthand look at how delicate handmade sweets are crafted from local ingredients.
Cap off your morning with a flavorful local lunch served at a charming riverside restaurant, featuring authentic Mekong cuisine. After a relaxing break by the water, reboard your boat to cross the harbor and enjoy a smooth coach journey back to Ho Chi Minh City, leaving you with unforgettable memories of river life.
