About mekong delta.

The Mekong Delta is a special area with its web of rivers, houseboats and floating markets. Life here mainly takes place on the water and from a boat you can see villages, rice fields and the daily life of local families pass you by. A visit to the Mekong Delta is therefore the absolute highlight of a trip through South Vietnam.

Frequently asked questions about Mekong Delta tours

You can visit the Mekong Delta in 1 day, but we recommend staying there for at least 1 night.

If you have little time in Vietnam and you have to make choices, a one-day tour can be a great option. The Mekong Delta is not far from Ho Chi Minh City, so you can get a good impression in a one day tour. If you want to visit the floating markets and more the local villages where day-trip travelers do not come, we recommend that you go for two days.

The Mekong Delta is gigantic, so before you consider how to travel here, it is important to consider where you want to travel to. There are daily buses to Can Tho, Cai Be, Ben Tre, My Tho and Chau Doc, among others. Many travelers choose to take a Mekong Delta tour, so that you do not have to arrange transport to the delta yourself, but also between the sights.

10 Mekong Delta tours highlight

The best way to see a gigantic river delta is by boat tour. Sail the big rivers with a motor boat and row a sampan through the small canals.

Get back on board and enjoy a drink at the bar or relax on deck as the sun sets over the magnificent water landscape of the Mekong river. The cruise boat will anchor for the night. The day ends with a delicious on-board dinner. You stay overnight on board your floating hotel in the Mekong Delta.

Meals: lunch, dinner

Day 2: Life on the water or floating markets

Wake up well rested to the sound of the river and get ready for another exciting day of sightseeing in the Mekong Delta. At 6.30h the cruise vessel sets off for a sunrise cruise. Watch the locals go about their daily work drying exotic fruits and building ships on the wooden yards while enjoying an early breakfast.

Dragon Eyes boat on odd days: After breakfast, we will board a sampan boat to Cai Rang floating market, the region’s busiest and most lively markets. On even dates, you will explore the small channels of the mekong delta around Cai Be with a small sampan or by foot. Marvel at the sheer abundance of exotic fruits and vegetables. We will pull up to the boats for talking and bargaining with the merchants. We will also visit some of the local candy and cake making factories or boat through the green water landscape to see local houses, verdant orchards and ship-building yards.

The floating markets in the Mekong Delta are no tourist markets but wholesale markets where produce of the Mekong Delta like fruits and vegetables are traded. This can result in decreasing numbers of boats being present on the markets.

Mekong Delta is naturally carpeted in a dizzying array of greens. This is a water world where floating houses, boats and markets float upon the innumerous canals, rivers, and streams that intersect on the landscape like arteries.

The charming beauty of the Mekong Delta and unique local living patterns have resulted in major tourist attractions including some luxuriant fruit orchards, well-known floating markets, mangrove forests Buddhist temples and Khmer pagodas, off-coast islands. The bustling commerce of its own town is opposite sharply to the almost-soporific and languid pace of the rural life.

Sit back and relax as our ‘sampan’ (a traditional motorised boat) takes you along the serene canals. These hidden waterways are engulfed in lush vegetation and local villages where you can admire the colours and culture alike.

Next up, we get back on the dry land of the Tan Phong island. After a quick stop off at a tasty fruit orchard, we will experience the enchanting music of Vietnam as guests of a local performance and take a guided bicycle tour of this marvellous island. Along the way, we will visit native families and learn how these locals use the land to craft everything from delicate rice paper to the sturdy roofs of their homes. A local family will treat us to Mekong delicacies for lunch which include freshly made spring rolls, fried pumpkin flower, and beautifully braised pork soaked in coconut juice

** We can provide accommodation for those with scooters**

After our special Mekong lunch, we’ll transfer back to our boat and into the smaller canals of the delta. Here we can get up close and be a part of the daily life of local people and farmers. We will see the handicraft of local merchants preparing delicious coconut candy, rice-wine, unique hand-crafted pottery, and bricks made from scratch. Then we’ll head to the Vinh Long Pier and market where you can see even more of the specialities the Mekong has to offer.

Finally, we will board the bus to drive to Chau Doc to reach your accommodation. Once we arrive we can head out for dinner at the marvellous night market or you can have some time to relax at your chosen hotel.

This morning we will check out early ready for a scenic drive to the amazing Tra Su Mangrove Forest. At this peaceful, tranquil location we will pass through canals in the forest, to observe wading birds. Prepare to be dazzled by this enchanting place, filled with mossy green waterways lined with beautiful cajuput trees. Keep your eyes out for some of the amazing wildlife that abounds here including birds of paradise and storks.

After Tra Su, we will drive to visit the impressive Ba Chua Xu temple set at the foot of the Sam Mountain. Once we have completed our visit here we will take a unique Xe Loi bicycle rickshaw trip through the surrounding villages. We will end at Ba Sa fish square before driving to Can Tho for our overnight stay. Once we arrive there, we will drive you to your chosen hotel. If you’re still energetic enough to see and do more, we’ll take a visit to a local night market!

On day three we’ll get up early and head straight out to make the most of the day. We’ll board our own private boat to head to Cai Rang, the biggest floating market in the whole of Asia. You will get to experience local produce being sold first-hand from boat to boat. You’ll get the chance to buy products of your own and you can even sip your morning coffee at one of the awesome floating coffee shops.

After the market, we will head back to the hotel for some well-deserved breakfast. Having checked out, we’ll head to My Tho to visit the breathtaking Vinh Trang pagoda. Here your guide will show you around the incredible five-acre site. After what promises to be an interesting and enjoyable day, we’ll head back to Ho Chi Minh City and drop you back to your accommodation.

I now refer my friends, family and colleagues, as well as book all of my tours, accommodation and flights with Maika because I feel very lucky to have finally found an organisation in Asia that gives me the confidence to do so.

The tour was very well organized, and the guide spoke very good English. We got to see and experience so many things: Besides visiting a pagoda and Buddha statue, we also went on a boat ride (with a stop to enjoy a coconut drink) and visited local businesses producing rice paper, conical hats and mats. We had fresh fruit and tea for a snack and Pho soup for lunch which was delicious! We had such a good day and would highly recommend this tour!

We went on this tour, two families of four, with children aged 9-12 years old. We were really happy with it and highly recommend. Lin was our guide and she was fantastic, would really do a trip with her again. It was nice to do this privately and easy to adjust with Lin if needed. Maika helped us book the accommodation in Can Tho which we really appreciated. Would highly recommend and for sure do again.

You did a great job looking after all of our family of 7. The kids enjoyed all the tours and especially the Mekong cruise …as did we……because the kids were so happy we got to enjoy some time to ourselves too. I would recommend Maika Tours if your thinking of visiting Vietnam!
