Vietnam Mekong River Cruise
The 2-day trip offers a glimpse into the agricultural life of the vibrant southern Delta region as we wind our way through the tributaries of the Mekong Delta.
From our boats, we are able to glimpse into the daily rituals of river life and participate in the bustling commercial activities as we buy our fruits from the floating market. Along the way, we will visit an orchard farm, handicraft village, and a land market with an abundance of colorful fresh fruits and vegetables.
Three days on the complex maze of the Mekong Delta is hardly enough for some people, but this tour will give you a taste of life on the Mekong River and its tributaries.
The Mekong Delta is situated in the Southeast of Vietnam, where the Mekong River approaches and empties into the sea through a network of tributaries.
The river is a very important to the local people who live near it as it serves as a natural highway with people busily commuting and trading along Asia's longest river.
The Mekong river begins on the Tibetan Plateau and runs through China's Yunnan province, Myanmar, Thailand, Laos, Cambodia and Vietnam.
The tour starts in Ho Chi Minh City and from there we travel to Cai Be. Take a boat cruise down into the heart of the Delta, viewing life as the local population does.
Gliding on the bustling waterways we shop at floating markets, eat tropical fruits in lush orchards, look into the art of Bonsai and have tea in a typical boathouse.
