Do you only have 1 day to visit the Mekong Delta from Ho Chi Minh City? Day tour to the Mekong Delta
Then this is the tour you should do. This day trip takes place in a small international group of about 12 people and takes you to the beautiful Ben Tre Province .
Ben Tre is located about 90km from the city and is famous for its coconut production. Everywhere you see endless rows of palm trees between which narrow branches of the Mekong River run.
A wonderful tropical getaway from the busy, hot city.
Program Mekong Delta day tour
08.00 – 08.30. You will be picked up from your hotel in District 1. The drive to Ben Tre takes approximately 2 hours.
The landscape consists of endless waterways flanked by palm trees.
After arrival you will take a boat trip on the river and stop at various local workshops.
In these workshops people make, among other things:
- Coconut oil
- All kinds of coconut candy
- Different types of weaving
You will be surprised that almost the entire coconut can be used and there is almost no residual waste.
Penalty work: count how many coconuts you see today.
Before lunch you will also take a walk through a village to experience what life is like here. Another cool thing is a short ride in a Xe Loi. A Xe Loi is a kind of rickshaw, but with a motor in the front. You sit in the back and drive along the narrow paths flanked by dense tropical plants and trees. Cool!
Lunch will take place in a restaurant on the river. The Elephant Earfish is a local specialty. You roll these in a sheet of rice paper together with noodles, cucumbers and pickled vegetables. You dip this in a deliciously spicy dipping sauce.
After lunch you will take another boat trip, this time on a sampan. This small rowing boat takes you deep into the narrow canals.
After the boat trip you will be taken back to the city. Arrival there is around 5 p.m.
With the sampan you can really sail deep into the surrounding canals.
