Mekong Delta | Off the beaten path experience

Start the day by leaving the hustle and bustle of Saigon for the peace and tranquility of the Mekong River Delta. The villages and countryside are wonderful destinations for learning about the local culture because they have not experienced as much tourism as other areas.
The first stop will be at a village market where you can interact with locals and try some of the local cuisines. Furthermore, it's the ideal time to stock up on fresh tropical fruit for the trip.

Enjoy a peaceful ferry ride crossing the Vam Co River to a local family business making mats, which have traditionally been used in Vietnamese daily life for centuries.


Later, head to Tan Phuoc Tay village where we will join an adventurous bike or scooter ride with our driver through small hamlets surrounded by breathtaking paddy fields, vegetable farms, and dragon fruit fields. This is also a good opportunity for photo lovers.
