Explore the non touristy Mekong Delta with a local
From 110 reviewsThe Mekong Delta is one of the most popular destinations in Vietnam thanks to its distinctly tropical vibe and relaxing ambience.
Every day, thousands of tourists visit the area, which makes it vulnerable to exploitation, however. Only those who are familiar with the region know how to avoid the chaos and get to the heart of this tropical gem while avoiding these crowds, and luckily for you, our local guides are one of those people. Homemade meals, fruit harvesting, folk music, and countless amazing things await you to explore!
Immerse yourself in the breathtaking river wonderland of the Mekong Delta, only 2 hours from Ho Chi Minh city.
Feel a genuinely welcoming vibe from the local people and be away from the crowds of tourists.
Take a closer look at the local lifestyle with a bicycle ride around the village. You may see people napping in hammocks, children cycling to school or hear the sound of a karaoke session echoing from some local houses beneath the coconut trees.
Let's admire the Mekong Delta through our customer's lens before you start your own journey.
