Mekong Delta Full-Day Tour from Saigon

About This Activity

The Mekong Delta — 2 hours southwest of Ho Chi Minh City — is Southeast Asia's rice bowl: a labyrinth of waterways, floating markets, coconut palms, and stilt villages. Day tours navigate narrow canals past floating markets at Cai Be or My Tho, stop at coconut candy workshops, and include a sampan ride and Vietnamese lunch. Tours run 9–10 hours ($30–45/person including transport, guide, and meals) departing from central HCMC hotels by 7:30am.

Seasonal note: Year-round; dry season (Nov–Apr) is most pleasant. Wet season (May–Oct) brings flooding that adds dramatic scenery but can restrict access to some villages.
