Overview
Overview
Experience the rural lifestyle in the fertile Mekong Delta, much of which you will traverse by boat. As an introduction to the culture, you will first visit Vinh Trang, an ornate temple surrounded by meticulously manicured gardens full of ornamental shrubbery and bonsai trees. Despite its beauty, the flora is no match for the fecundity of the Mekong Delta, where you will cruise past terraced rice paddies, seemingly endless fruit orchards, and fields of soybeans and sugarcane.
JOURNEY

For a closer look at village life, you will disembark on Ben Tre and interact with the locals. While enjoying a cup of honey tea and a selection of fresh fruits, you watch a folkloric music performance. A traditional lunch of dishes such as elephant ear fish and grilled pork follows, after which you will return to the water; this time on a wooden sampan identical to the ones used to transport fruit through the canals.
This tour is a recommended sample itinerary handcrafted by our destination specialists that can be fully customized to your preferred dates, time frame, hotel location, and travel interests.
