MEKONG DELTA VIETNAM - Saigon Day Trip
We experienced local life along the Mekong Delta Vietnam for our last day in Saigon. We show you the best Saigon day trip that Vietnam has to offer, traveling by boat down the Mekong Delta and exploring a local Vietnam village along the way.
Our trip to the Mekong Delta Vietnam started with a 2 hour luxury van ride to a town called My Tho. Although we don’t normally take public tours, we arranged a small 6 person group tour with Vietnam Adventure Tours. Once we arrived in My Tho, we boarded a private boat to set sail down the Mekong Delta River. The 15 minute boat ride took us across the Mekong river to unicorn island where we explored a tourist area set up to mimic a traditional Vietnam Village. The activities on this island include: Bee Farm and Honey Tasting, Snake Holding, Coconut Candy Production, Chocolate Production, Snake Wine, and a Fruit Farm with traditional Mekong Delta music.
Next we got back on the Vietnam boat tour down the Mekong Delta to visit the area of Ben Tre. This is where we got to see a side of a more authentic Vietnam by boating down the river in a small sampan boat. This is one of the best things to do in Vietnam because you get to experience a world away from all development. We wish this part of the Mekong river tour was longer, as the small sampan boat ride was only 15 minutes long.
Next up on the Mekong Delta Tour was lunch which was included in our tour and very delicious. We were served a variety of Vietnamese food including fish, spring rolls, soup, rice, morning glory and prawns. The Vietnamese lunch was absolutely delicious!
When visiting Saigon Vietnam, we highly recommend you put a Mekong Delta Tour on your list of must do activities. Out of all the things to do in Saigon, this was one of our favorites! A quick 2 hour Saigon day trip away seems like a completely separate world apart from the hustle of Ho Chi Minh City.
If you’re interested in booking one of the best tours in Saigon, contact Vietnam Adventure Tours and request Van as your tour guide! The tour you see is the VIP Mekong Delta Tour with a luxury 7 person limo. Most Mekong tours start from $15 USD and go up to $80 USD for a public tour, and private tours are $80 USD per person and up. We hope you enjoyed our trip down the Vietnam Mekong Delta and if you have any questions please leave us a comment! We’d love to hear about your Vietnam travel or plans to visit the area.

Tour around Vietnam, The mekong River Ho Chi Minh
Hi everyone again, I am back with a video about Vietnam, more specifically the Mekong River Tour that we did on December 2018 from the Ho Chi Minh City. I hope you enjoy.

Vietnam is a Southeast Asian country on the South China Sea known for its beaches, rivers, Buddhist pagodas and bustling cities. Hanoi, the capital, pays homage to the nation’s iconic Communist-era leader, Ho Chi Minh, via a huge marble mausoleum. Ho Chi Minh City (formerly Saigon) has French colonial landmarks, plus Vietnamese War history museums and the Củ Chi tunnels, used by Viet Cong soldiers.
The Mekong is a trans-boundary river in Southeast Asia. It is the world's twelfth longest river and the seventh longest in Asia. Its estimated length is 4,350 km, and it drains an area of 795,000 km², discharging 475 km³ of water annually

My Mekong Delta Cruise – Saigon (Vietman) to Siem Reap (Cambodia)
Highlights from my Mekong Delta Cruise (October 2016) from Saigon in Vietnam to Siem reap in Cambodia. Video courtesy of
The tour started with sightseeing Saigon (Ho Chi Minh), welcoming dinner etc. I added an extra couple of days in Saigon to explore other “non-touristy” areas.
From Saigon we went to My Tho where we boarded the CruiseCo Adventurer and set sail for Cai Be. The ship was extremely comfortable with private deck etc. The food was excellent and nightly performances were organised. There was only about 30 guest on the tour and they broke us into groups of two for day excursions… which was a good idea.
Next morning we visited Cai Be to see the floating markets and other local attractions. Lunch was on board the Cruiseco Adventurer followed by a visit to the village of Sa Dec.
The next day was to Tan Chau and the Border Crossing into Cambodia. We toured the town on a rickshaw and watched navigated narrow channels by boat.
The ship docked in the Capital City Phnom Penh overnight. In the afternoon we visited the Khmer Rouge’s Toul Sleng Detention Centre and the Killing Fields.
There are around 20,000 mass grave sites where at least 1,386,734 people were executed under the Khmer Rouge Regime between 1975 and 1979.
It is estimated up to 2.5 million people died from Khmer Rouge policies, including starvation and disease. That was out of a population of roughly 8 million in 1975.
Vietnam invaded Cambodia (then called Democratic Kampuchea) in 1979 and toppled the Khmer Rouge regime. A very sad history.
The next morning we explored Phnom Penh on our own by Tuk Tuk. After lunch on board the ship sailed for Chong Koh, where we visit some traditional handicraft workshops.
The next day it was on to Oudong to visit a Buddhist monastery. Then on to Kapong Tralach Pleu where we took an ox cart ride to the Tonle River. Not overly comfortable but a lot of fun!
We were lucky to be cruising in early October during the high water season so didn’t need to take the long bus trip on our journey to Siem Reap. We visited the rural port town of Kampong Chhnang and explored the busy (but dirty and interesting) markets.
The vessel dropped anchor and tied up to a tree mid-stream, so we could take a boat trip into the lake-side wetlands. The ship moored near Siem Reap.
In Siem Reap we toured Angkor Wat which is the world’s largest temple. It was stinking hot and humid but a wonderful experience.
I didn’t bother with the arranged tour of more temples the next day, but instead got a Tuk Tuk and explored Siem Reap including and visit to the War Museum which I found enlightening. I stayed in Siem Reap a couple more days to explore more of the city and surrounds.
Overall, the trip was amazing! Thanks CruiseCo.

AmaWaterways Excursion to Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam on Mekong River Cruise thru Vietnam & Cambodia
AmaWaterways Excursion to Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam during Vietnam-Cambodia Mekong River Cruise going from Hanoi to Saigon that includes everything in between like ancient ruins, beautiful lakes, river tributaries, small villages, factories, museums, shopping and more as documented by travel filmmaker Clint Denn. Under the name Saigon, it was the capital of the French colony of Cochin-china and later of the independent republic of South Vietnam from 1955--75. South Vietnam, as an anti-communist, capitalist republic, fought against the communist North Vietnamese and Viet Cong during the Vietnam War, with aid from the United States and countries including Australia, New Zealand and South Korea. Saigon fell when it was captured by the communists on 30 April 1975, ending the war with a Communist victory. Vietnam was then turned into a communist state with the South overtaken. On 2 July 1976, Saigon merged with the surrounding Gia Định Province and was officially renamed Ho Chi Minh City after Hồ Chí Minh (although the name Sài Gòn is still commonly used).
The metropolitan area, which consists of the Ho Chi Minh City metropolitan area, Thủ Dầu Một, Dĩ An, Biên Hòa and surrounding towns, is populated by more than 9,000,000 people, making it the most populous metropolitan area in Vietnam. The city's population is expected to grow to 13.9 million in 2025. The Ho Chi Minh City metropolitan area, a metropolitan area covering most parts of Đông Nam Bộ plus Tiền Giang and Long An provinces under planning, will have an area of 30,000 square kilometers with a population of 20 million inhabitants by 2020.
AmaWaterways is moving into is second decade after another award winning year which saw them launch the ultra-luxurious AmaCerto, one of the new long ships being put into service throughout Europe.

MEKONG RIVER CRUISE in Ho Chi Minh, Vietnam
MEKONG RIVER CRUISE | MEKONG DELTA | CAFE RESTAURANT | VIETNAM
The Mekong Delta in southern Vietnam is a vast maze of rivers, swamps and islands, home to floating markets, Khmer pagodas and villages surrounded by rice paddies.

version en français plus bas .
The Mekong Delta
From the heights of the Tibetan Plateau, the mighty Mekong flows through six countries, giving life and a home to millions of people. For this, it was once named “Mother of all rivers”. The Mekong is one of the most speciose rivers of the world, with approximately 1,300 varieties of fish and numerous kinds of reptiles and birds.
After a journey of 4,500 kilometres (3,000 miles) it reaches the South China Sea. Nine estuaries carry enormous amounts of silt to form one of the greatest (50,000 km2) ever growing deltas in the world. Cuu Long (nine dragons) is the Vietnamese name for the nine main estuaries. More than 13 million people live by the timeless rhythm of the river in small fishing villages and boats. There are also many Khmer and Cham who live in the Mekong delta region.
The cultivation of the Mekong delta
The beginning of cultivation of the Mekong delta can be dated back to 1750 when Vietnamese monarchs started to built canals and drain swamps to gain more land for cultivation. But the main part of the development was done by the French at the end of the 19th and the beginning of the 20th centuaries.
Thousands of waterways form a labyrinth of major currents and secluded canals lined with lush vegetation, mangrove swamps and verdant rice fields. Due to the fertile soil and the production of 16 million tonnes of rice per year (harvested in three crops) the Mekong delta is also called “rice bowl” of Vietnam.
The Mekong delta is an exotic paradise for travellers from all over the world: good climate, an abundance of tropical fruit, sugar cane, coconuts and colourful flowers, a relaxed atmosphere and the generous mentality of the people. Lots of the activities in the area take place on the vast waterways. Most houses have access to the river, not all of them to roads.
Le delta du Mékong
Depuis les hauteurs du plateau tibétain, le puissant Mékong coule à travers six pays, ce qui donne la vie et une maison à des millions de personnes. Pour cela, il a été une fois appelé Mère de toutes les rivières. Le Mékong est l'un des fleuves les plus Spéciales du monde, avec environ 1300 variétés de poissons et de nombreux types de reptiles et d'oiseaux.
Après un voyage de 4.500 kilomètres (3.000 miles), il atteint la mer de Chine méridionale. Neuf estuaires transportent d'énormes quantités de limon pour former l'un des plus grands (50 000 km2) deltas sans cesse croissante dans le monde. Cuu Long (neuf dragons) est le nom vietnamien pour les neuf principaux estuaires. Plus de 13 millions de personnes vivent au rythme intemporel de la rivière dans les villages et petits bateaux de pêche. Il y a aussi beaucoup Khmer et Cham qui vivent dans la région du delta du Mékong.
La culture du delta du Mékong
Le début de la culture du delta du Mékong peut être daté de 1750 où les monarques vietnamiens ont commencé à canaux construits et les marécages de drainage pour gagner plus de terres pour la culture. Mais la partie principale de la mise au point a été fait par les Français à la fin du 19ème et le début du 20e centuaries.
Des milliers de cours d'eau forment un labyrinthe de grands courants et des canaux isolés bordées d'une végétation luxuriante, des mangroves et des rizières verdoyantes. En raison de la terre fertile et la production de 16 millions de tonnes de riz par an (récolté en trois cultures) le delta du Mékong est aussi appelé «bol de riz» du Vietnam.
Le delta du Mékong est un paradis exotique pour les voyageurs de partout dans le monde: un bon climat, une abondance de fruits tropicaux, de canne à sucre, noix de coco et de fleurs colorées, une atmosphère détendue et la mentalité généreuse du peuple. Beaucoup des activités dans la région ont lieu sur les vastes cours d'eau. La plupart des maisons ont accès à la rivière, pas tous sur les routes.

Cruise the Mighty Mekong River from its Delta in Vietnam to Phnom Penh, Cambodia – 4K
We board our fast boat near Vinh Long in the Mekong Delta and head for Cambodia and Phnom Penh situated at the meeting point of three great rivers – the Mekong, the Tonle Sap and the Bassac. We leave the busy Delta region behind to join the huge expanse of water that is the Mekong River, the densely populates river banks are replaced by fish farms and an altogether more rural landscape. The river is still a busy transport artery, with all kinds of goods being shipped in a variety of river craft, occasionally we past boats dredging the bottom of the river for sand. As we cross the border into Cambodia, the scenery is dominated by farming, with the occasional small village and temple, children can be seen playing along the banks, generally people seemed to be for more relaxed now we have left the busy delta behind. Finally as the sun is setting, Phnom Penh looms on the distant horizon, beckoning us with bright lights and an attractive promenade. We bid farewell to the crew of our boat, with fond memories of a wonderful day.
