Mekong Delta Shore Excursion
TOUR OVERVIEW
​
The Mekong Delta is truly a paradise! Located south-west of Ho Chi Minh City, it spans a large area dotted with many towns and villages. The delta offers plenty of orchards, fields, plantations, and swamp lands. It is recognizable as Vietnam's major rice bowl and producer of many fruits and vegetables. One will be enchanted with the region's numerous colors of flora and fauna. Life is less stressful here. We will visit the town of Ben Tre, about 90-minute away from the city. Known as the "Kingdom of Coconut", Ben Tre is one of the best places to explore the untouched and natural landscapes of the Mekong Delta, Vietnam: its beautiful water coconut canals combined with traditional activities and lush gardens. Relax on a local rowing boat as we drift serenely through several green canals lying beneath high-rising water coconut trees. Doubtlessly, it is truly a picture of paradise.
