Escape the beaten path and discover the hidden wonders of the Mekong Delta with our unique and exhilarating speedboat tour. While the region south of Saigon has been overwhelmed with mass tourism over the years, we have meticulously created an immersive and intimate experience that provides a different perspective of the authentic rural Vietnamese way of life.
Set off from downtown Saigon as you embark on a water journey to take in the stunning scenery up close and catch a glimpse of small-village life along the river. Explore a bustling market, a unique Cao Dai temple, and meet a welcoming three-generation family, gaining insight into Delta traditions and culture. Besides, taking a sampan boat across a small scenic canal, cycling through the tranquil countryside and engaging with hospitable locals are among the delights of a trip to the Delta.
It offers a chance to break away from the usual routes, relish the natural beauty of the region and connect with locals in a meaningful way.
