Explore the non touristy Mekong Delta with a local
From 137 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!

Feel a genuinely welcoming vibe from the local people and be away from the crowds of tourists.
