Private Mekong Delta Discovery with Lunch

Adventure through the pulsating heart of Vietnam, the Mekong Delta, launching from the bustling seaport in Ho Chi Minh City. Your day begins with a scenic two-hour drive through the countryside before reaching the Tien River, where a leisurely cruise takes you past four enchanting islets named after the mythical beasts of Southeast Asia: Dragon, Kirin, Tortoise, and Phoenix.

Step ashore to visit a honey bee farm, where you'll sip fragrant honey tea with lemon, a local favorite known for its health benefits. Sample a variety of tropical fruits fresh from the region and, for the adventurous, visit a python farm to see and even touch these remarkable snakes for a memorable photo. Continue to a coconut candy workshop to watch local artisans handcraft this sweet treat.

Along the way, enjoy the traditional melodies of Don Ca Tai Tu, a style of folk music recognized by UNESCO as an Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity.

Pause midday for a Vietnamese lunch at a local countryside restaurant, then board a rowing boat for a peaceful glide through mangrove palm canals. From here, pass through a village and soak in the unhurried pace of life in the Mekong Delta.

Before returning to the city, visit the grand Vinh Trang Pagoda in My Tho Town, the largest and oldest pagoda in Southern Vietnam, blending Eastern and Western architectural styles.

As the day comes to a close, your guide will return you to the port in time for your cruise departure, leaving you with lasting memories of the Delta's beauty, culture, and charm.
