So, when does one hop on our exciting “Speed Boat the Mekong Delta to Phnom Penh" tour? It is best to go during the dry season for an insight into the beauty of the Mekong Delta and a ride up to Phnom Penh. During this period, one enjoys good weather with less rain and ample time for outdoors, floating market visits, bird sanctuaries, and other scenic boat trips by speedboats. For a fact, the day is much cooler and the sky clear, hence providing probably the best sighting of the lush landscapes along the Mekong River.
