The Mekong Delta is a complex maze of waterways, and the rice bowl of Vietnam. This eight day tour will give you a taste of life on the Mekong River and its tributaries. From Ho Chi Minh City (Saigon), we travel by road to Vinh Long Province, where we board our boat and cruise into the heart of the Delta, viewing life as the local population does. Cruising along the bustling waterways, shopping at floating markets, visiting local villages along the way, and even a night at a homestay gives a fascinating insight to the local way of life.
