Offered in: English

The special point of the Mekong tour is a boat trip on small rivers and a rowing boat trip through scissor canals.

Going on a boat, you can closely see the Mekong Delta's natural beauty by shifting from the busy city view to the peaceful, lush view along the waterway. Next, you will take the rowing boat to go sightseeing at the so-called "Water Palms Canal." You will be stunned by the breathtaking natural view of the Ben Tre River area. Plus, you can explore the real local life on the river. Besides, we can stop by a tranquil village and travel by tuk-tuk through coconut-shady paths. So, come to Ben Tre and take a boat tour with us!

Note: We can pick you up at your hotel (located in Ho Chi Minh ) with a modest extra fee. Dont hesitate to contact us for more information
