Overview

HIGHLIGHT:

A trip to Vietnam would not be completed without a trip to Mekong Delta – also known as Vietnam’s rice bowl or “Cuu Long” – “The Nine Dragons”. The region was famous for its picturesque scenery, traditions, and authentic cuisine. Furthermore, the flat landscape and quiet rural roads make this region ideal to explore on a bike regardless of your physical condition. Mesmerizing floating markets, coconut palms, rice paddies, local people traditions and lifestyle, foods, and flavors unique to southern Vietnam – no one else could expose the beauty of the Mekong Delta to you better than our enthusiastic and passionate tour guides.

Enjoy the scenic journey along the Express Trung Luong Highway and take a leisurely boat trip around the four beautiful islands known as Dragon, Unicorn, Phoenix, and Tortoise islands. Visit the picturesque orchards and sample the freshly picked fruit at the invitation of friendly local farmers. Get on a rowing boat ride in the shadows of the water-coconut palms along the tiny canals of Ben Tre Province and experience the traditional rural lifestyle of the Mekong Delta inhabitants.

Relax and enjoy the ride – everything else is taken care of.
