Experience Boat Tours in Mekong Delta

Best things to do in Mekong Delta: The maze of rivers and islands that make up the Mekong Delta is like stepping into your very own adventure. You’ll enjoy seeing and experiencing the rice paddies and shopping at the floating markets. Also while there, go see Vinh Trang Pagoda, a Buddhist temple. For something very different, you may want to head for Nha tu Phu Quoc, a prison museum. Certainly thought-provoking.

Top tips for visiting Mekong Delta: The Mekong Delta is a day trip option from Ho Chi Minh City, so is a welcome break from city life. Booking a boat tour is a wonderful way of skipping the crowds and really getting close to the rural life here. Another way to enjoy the region is by exploring by bike.
