Morning Departure from My Tho (8:00 – 8:15 AM)
My Tho
Our Mekong River Tour to Tan Thach shall start at the My Tho tourist wharf, which already gives off the feeling of a lively kick-start for today. After getting on board our comfortable boat, the beauty of the Mekong River will appear with its tranquil waters and the far-away noise of the locals. The serene cruise will take you along the first views of floating fish farms, an integral part of life out here. This unique facility structure is indicative of the way the locals raise fish in large nets, therefore allowing visitors to really feel day-to-day life in the Mekong Delta area.
Exploration of Thoi Son Islet (8:15 – 9:00 AM)
Thoi Son
The first is Thoi Son Islet Cồn Lân. Upon getting off, your surroundings will be green with peaceful village paths. Wandering around, you can see fruit orchards bearing a lot of fresh, delightful seasonal fruits like rambutan, longan, pomelo, and, of course, you will be able to taste such local delicacies living in the cultural heart of the Mekong. It even hosts a live performance of “Đờn Ca Tài Tử," the soul of Delta in the form of music, the popular music that resonates in the soul of Vietnam. This section of the Mekong Discovery Group Tour will really have you appreciating the rich tapestry of culture in this region.
Rowboat Ride Through Palm-lined Canals (9:00 – 9:30 AM)
Then it’s time to switch to an entirely other and more intimate mode of travel: a classic rowboat. Sailing down the shadowy canals packed in lined on both sides by towering palm trees, you simply feel that you are seeing the Mekong Delta for the first time. And with the soft, rhythmic thump of the oars, the sound of the birds overhead, and the weave of the water below, this is the quietest trip you will ever make. This is the perfect moment worth savoring with the peaceful view, taking amazing photographs, and simply chilling out with the tranquility that is characteristic of life on the Mekong River.
Visit to Con Phung (9:30 – 10:15 AM)
Con Phung
The journey will thus carry on to Đạo Dừa shrine, translated as Phoenix Island, but the one where history and spirituality overlap. The core of the islet is the Đạo Dừa shrine, where much of the unique religious lives were being guided under the aegis of the Coconut Monk, Nguyễn Thành Nam. Upon visiting the shrine for yourself, you will learn more about this intriguing set of beliefs and practices that ended up defining this community. It’s also home to several local craft workshops where you’ll get an opportunity to see artisans in action, working their magic on mementos such as intricate coconut shells. For those who really want some adventure, a trip to the crocodile farm gets the adrenalin pumping, and crossing the wobbly, ramshackle old bamboo bridge will certainly add a sense of local adventure to your Mekong Discovery Group Tour.
Lunch and Relaxation at Viet Nhat Ecotourism Site (10:15 – 11:00 AM)
Viet Nhat Ecotourism Site
After an entire morning of discovery at the Việt Nhật Ecotourism Site, relax and enjoy a delightful Vietnamese lunch.

The Mekong Discovery Group Tour concludes as we dock back at the My Tho Tourist Wharf, leaving you with lasting memories of an unforgettable journey through the heart of Vietnam’s Mekong Delta.
As we go into the very exciting day on the Mekong River Tour to Tan Thach, it’s always prudent to be well-prepared so that you can make the most of this unforgettable experience. Here are some practical tips for a smooth, safe, and thoroughly enjoyable journey!
To enjoy your Mekong Tours utterly, you will need to pack the right things. Comfortable clothes are an essential part of your packing as a result of the warm and humid climate of the Mekong Delta. Lightweight and breathable fabrics like cotton are just perfect and do not forget the light jacket or sweater to equip you with for the morning boat ride chill. Comfortable footwear shoes too; sandals or walking shoes will do, since it is rather wet sometimes, especially in such tour parts that involve reaching the gardens on foot or stepping onto a small boat. A hat or a cap does wonders to block out the sun and sunglasses work the same way. Apply sunscreen with a high SPF to safeguard your skin from these intense tropical rays. Last but not least, you should be equipped with a super camera or a cool smartphone that will potentially capture the maximum beautiful landscapes and the lifetime moments of your very own Mekong River Tour to Tan Thach.
Your safety is number one while on tour to Mekong River Tour to Tan Thach. Keeping yourself hydrated is a must. Water is readily available in our boat, but having your refillable bottle allows you to avail of it easily without holding you back, more so in areas that require a lot of walking. Other necessary precautions are slathering up with the sun to protect oneself from the sun whenever reapplication is required, such as when coming from a rowboat ride or to visit the local fruit orchards at Thới Sơn Islet.
Once we visit the crocodile farm at Cộng Phụng, please respect all safety input that would be given by our guide. Just stay in permitted sites and constantly remain a safe distance from wild animals. Similarly, for crossing by traditional bamboo bridge go slowly; if needed, use handrails for support. Our guides are always there to help make sure you enjoy the whole adventure safely.
Though it is a destination that can be visited any time of the year, there are seasons in which the Mekong River tour to Tan Thach reaches its highest standard. The bulk of visitors are received from November throughout to the month of April in the name of a dry season, which has a cooler weather condition and less rainfall. The sky would be clear and perfect for photographs during this time.
But if you’re seeking to get the full display of the Delta in its verdant green, then get wet season from May to October, when the wet season is at its peak. As much as rains bring the landscape to life amid fully flowing rivers, it might just be a good time to truly feel the experience this bayou of romantic legends emanates. This is also the best time when fruit aficionados can indulge in a good number of their offerings available mangoes, durians, rambutans, and all types of tropical fruit since they are in season.
