Join the Full-Day Mekong Discovery Group Tour for a stunningly gorgeous escapade that will bring you to the heart of Vietnam’s icon, the Mekong Delta. Known as the “rice bowl" of Vietnam, this lush area is interwoven with rivers, canals, and green landscapes where life is in bloom and at one with nature. On this tour, you’ll feel the real Mekong: gliding down serene waterways on a traditional sampan; sampling tropical fruits straight from the orchard. Take a deep plunge into the rich culture and history that grew spontaneously from the banks of the Mekong River centuries ago and make every moment an unforgettable adventure.
Experience the Full-Day Mekong Discovery Group Tour for a great adventure! The day starts with pickup from your accommodation in Ho Chi Minh City to My Tho’s entrance to the Delta of the Mekong. You will take a road drive to My Tho, which is the gateway to the Mekong Delta. You will board a boat and begin a beautiful cruise along the Mekong River; you will be able to see traditional stilt houses, busy markets, and local fishermen at work. A visit to a local fish farm to give insight into the traditional livelihoods of the region is followed by a serene exploration of Thoi Son Island, with strolls through lush orchards and enjoyment of fresh tropical fruits.
Stop at a local workshop in Ben Tre to see how coconut candy is made and try your hand at making some on your own. Lunch will be a local-style Vietnamese lunch, enjoyed at a restaurant with a view of the river. You’ll enjoy your last but peaceful experience: a ride on a sampan through the shady narrow canals lined by water coconut trees—this last one certainly was a highlight of the Mekong Discovery Group Tour. After this, the day will be topped off with a visit to My Tho, the busy town on its way back to Ho Chi Minh City for reflection on the fruitful experiences of the day. Join us and experience the magic of the Mekong Delta!
Our Mekong Discovery Group Tour starts with the comfortable hotel picks up in Ho Chi Minh City and heads out, leaving behind the hustle and bustle city to the most beautiful countryside, and rice paddies, entering and peacefully lying villages along the route. Our guide will tell stories and interesting insights about life in the Mekong Delta and identify what lies ahead on your adventures.
My Tho
On arrival in My Tho, the entrance to the Mekong Delta, we will embark on a boat and visit many exotic islands along the Mekong River. In the large fishing market of My Tho, you will be able to see even more crowded activity.
Fish Farms
The first stop of this local river crusade is a fish farm, whereby you learn the traditional pisciculture’s real technique that makes millions of money in the Mekong Delta. Engage with the local fishermen and understand their age-old practices handed down from generation to generation.
Thoi Son Island
Later, we visit Thoi Son Island, formerly known as Unicorn Island. Here, we take our time to explore a local fruit orchard, see how local people live, and visit a bee farm to enjoy some honey tea. WE stroll through the orchards taste different fruits and learn how the local people farm with their families full of vitality and happiness.
Coconut Candy Making in Ben Tre
In Coconutland, Ben Tre, experience a coconut-candy workshop, from raw material to regional delicacy. You can try to whip up some candies yourself in this sweet experience with Mekong Tours.
We’ll stop for lunch at a waterside restaurant and feast on a large array of traditional Vietnamese food: crispy elephant-ear fish and fresh spring rolls, next to the peace and quiet of the river that will make this a wonderful moment of rest and restoration.
After lunch, we drive to Cai Be, in the heart of the Mekong Delta, to commence our cruise on sampans along the main canals. Discuss with us the beauty of this very special ecosystem as we get under the canopy of water coconut trees — a moment evoking both réflexion and tranquility.
We will come to My Tho, where you can explore the liveliness of the local market and, maybe, you will have the chance to enjoy a cup of Vietnamese coffee at a local cafe. Should be fun to experiment in and around the bustling town of this port.
At the end of the day, we drive back to Ho Chi Minh City with rich experiences and fond memories to take home. The way back is also scenic, which gives a final touch of peace to this action trip of the Mekong Discovery Group Tour and a great remembrance of the Mekong Delta.
Timing is everything when it comes to your Mekong Discovery Group Tour. The best time to experience the beauty of the Mekong Delta is during the dry season from December to April. It is pleasantly warm and dry during these months, thus ideal for a river cruise or any outdoor activity. From May to November, you will find lush greenery and fewer crowds in the rainy season, although it can be more humid and with occasional showers. So, whether you are a fan of screwed-up blue skies or more hot and humid, the Mekong Tours will have something unique to offer any time of the year!
To ensure you have a comfortable and enjoyable experience on your Mekong Discovery Group Tour, packing the right essentials is key! Don’t forget to bring lightweight clothing, ideally in breathable fabrics like cotton, to stay cool in the tropical heat. A wide-brimmed hat, sunglasses, and sunscreen are must-haves to protect you from the sun, especially during the sampan ride through the canals. Comfortable walking shoes or sandals are also essential, as we’ll be exploring islands and markets. And of course, pack your camera to capture the stunning landscapes and vibrant local life!
Your Welfare on the Mekong Discovery Group Tour Keep hydrated: This is a very important point, especially in the warmer climate of the Mekong Delta. Bring your refillable water bottle, and don’t forget to enjoy some fresh coconut water from the islands it’s so refreshing and hydration at its best! Of course, smear some sunscreen on yourself once in a while during boat rides and island visits. One more thing that may be taken as additional care is to wear long sleeves. Rub some insect repellent to keep away mosquitoes invited by the foliage of the Delta.
Mekong Tours brings guests in touch with very friendly locals. Learning a few basic Vietnamese words, such as “Xin chào" meaning Hello, and “Cảm ơn" meaning Thank you, will only enhance the interactions. The local people appreciate politeness in any way possible. In addition to this, modest attire should be worn at all times, covering the shoulders and knees when visiting temples or any religious sites. Also, it is the custom to remove your shoes when entering someone’s home or a temple.

Impress travel were amazing. Did my bookings with Daniel for our tour of Vietnam and I must say Daniel was very professional and prompt with his services. All the arrangement, plans, pick-up & drop-off services, hotels, vehicles, sightseeing tours and guides were spot on and excellent. Did 4 nights Hanoi, 1 night Hà Long Bay cruise, 3 nights Hoian, 4 nights Saigon and 1 night in Can Tho. It was totally awesome. Every part of the journey was superbly arranged and planned. I will highly recommend Impress Travel for anyone interested in visiting Vietnam. Very organized and reliable!
I booked with Impress Travel in July. My contact person was Tommy Thang. He is an amazing person. He was very helpful. He changed my program twice for me. Very accommodating!
We started our holiday in the north (Sapa)of Vietnam and travelled down to HCMC.
The tour was fantastic, Tommy's arrangements were to the"T".
I will always use them if I have to visit the area again and recommend them to one and all.
Thank you once again Mr.Tommy and the Impress Team.
