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.

Mekong river cruises around CanTho
After visiting Cai Rang floating market, we keep on cruising into smaller waterways in the countryside. See how life is going on with delta locals, we stop for a short walk, see rice fields and fruit garden: orange, quinx, banana, rambutan, tangerine, milk fruit - canito, sapida, carambole etc.... Then we cruise back to MyKhanh commune and hop on our bike for more biking in this area.
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.
MEKONG DELTA Tour VIETNAM: Mekong RIVER CRUISE day trip video
The Mekong Delta Vietnam is famous for its floating markets. There are lots of ways to see the Mekong Delta in Vietnam, usually they start with a cruise along the Mekong River from Can Tho on a river cruise boat which can be of various sizes depending on your tour group size and if you want to share your Mekong Delta River Cruise with others.
I chose to take a private 1 day Mekong Delta Tour 1, but you could also take a 1/2 day tour from Can Tho if you are pushed for time. I think to see the Mekong Delta properly it would be wise to overnight in the Mekong Delta, you can stay at a Mekong Delta Homestay such as the homestay I visit for lunch in this Vietnam Travel Vlog.

Mekong Delta Cruise the Mekong on the Bassac II
This is our 3 day cruise on the Mekong aboard the Bassac II.
Had a fantastic time and enjoyed everything about it. We would recommend this trip to anyone thinking of cruising the Mekong river.
Cai Rang Floating Market Tour On Mekong Delta River Cruise Vietnam
To cap off our trip to Southern Vietnam we treated ourselves to a 3-day luxury river cruise in the Mekong Delta. It was the most fantastic experience, adventurous yet exciting at the same time!
Following a three hour drive from Saigon, we boarded the Mekong Eyes Explorer (the newest boat!) at Ben Tre. The first day was easy with a leisurely hike through a rural village. Day two was chock full of activity starting with an early tour of the Cai Rang Floating Market, a tour of a rice sheet and noodle factory, followed by a visit to Cho An Binh, Can Tho's largest land market, then transfer to the Mekong Eyes Classic, a traditional wood junk. In the afternoon we take a cooking class onboard and learn how to make banh khot! Day three we de-board the Classic and wrap up our trip with a sampan boat tour through a water village, tour and tea at a coconut candy factory, and a biking tour of Cai Be before getting in the bus back to Saigon.
Mekong Classic River Cruise (this was a fabulous tour company to work with!):

Mekong Delta - Mekong River Cruise & Mekong River Day Tour
Mekong Delta - Mekong River Cruise & Mekong River Day Tour - Ho Chi Minh City Vietnam is where our tour starts. My name is DCBORNROB and our channel is Erasing Borders. Today's trip was to the Mekong Delta. By way of a couple of stops along the way. But our day started at our Tour Agency of choice which was Le Hoang Daily Tours. Conveniently located right across the street from Ben Than Market. They handled everything from our Mekong Delta tour to flights to and from Hanoi and Danang as well as our trip to Ha Long Bay. Mekong Delta Vietnam is a must do when in Ho Chi Minh City or as some say Saigon Vietnam. Highly recommended. This is our Travel Vlog of our travels in Vietnam. If you're looking for things to do in Ho Chi Minh, this is a great opportunity. Be advised, it will take most of the day. Get there first and pick your seat. It's a good little ride. This Mekong River Delta Tour was worth the ticket. If you have to do one experience during your visit to Saigon, this
Ho Chi Minh City or Saigon Vietnam as some still call it, is our first stop on this dream Vietnam Travel trip. By the way, we also heard some call Saigon Vietnam City. We were going to take Vietnam Airlines but because my girlfriend and I met there, I ended up taking Eva Airlines. Which I highly recommend. Roomy and friendly. Our first stay was in a Vietnam hotel which was actually an AirBnB.
Our first stop when we finally met up was for Vietnamese food, or should I say Vietnamese street food. And then we began to find a tour place to book our Vietnam tour. We wanted to see Halong Bay of course and to take a Halong Bay cruise. And also take a boat ride on the Mekong river. Vietnam tourism is big. I mean really big. Lots of tourist.
Our hotel and 2nd AirBnB was also near Ben Than Market which is where you can get every deal shopping possible. At the end of day 1 you'll see, we were dropped off at Bui Vien street for one or two last drinks for the night.
We also wanted to make sure we went to Hanoi Vietnam and to visit the Hanoi Hilton which was very intense. I'd definitely make this visit. Oh, one other thing to note; the Vietnam Economy is one which is friendly to the US dollar. Keep that in mind.
As a child I grew up with the Vietnam war up until 1975 when the war ended. I've watched all of the Vietnam war movies. Platoon, Full Metal Jacket to name two. Which had special meaning since I'm a former Marine. All of the Vietnam war songs still stay in my head.
After Hanoi and Halong Bay was Da Nang Vietnam and of course Da Nang Beach. Our hotel was right across the street from the beach. While in Da Nang, we took a Grab to Hoi An Vietnam which was about a 30 minute drive. And I think this was my 5th Vietnamese massage. But after this we ended up back in Saigon.
I would recommend this trip to anyone wanting to go to Asia. Please comment on what you think of our adventure.

Mekong Delta Tour in Can Tho | Vietnam
Mekong Delta Tour in Can Tho, Vietnam.
Angekommen im Süden Vietnams, wurden wir gleich von einem Bootsfahrern angesprochen, ob wir nicht Lust hätten nein kurze Bootstour im Sonnenuntergang zu machen. Nach reiflicher Überlegung und aufgrund mangelnder Pläne haben wir zugesagt. Die Tour war jeden Cent wert!
Am nächsten Tag haben wir die bekannte Tour zu den Floating Markets gemacht. Ein eindrucksvolles Erlebnis, zumal nur ganz wenige Touristen unterwegs waren.
Schon am Mittag sind wir nach Soc Trăng aufgebrochen, um am nächsten Tag mit dem Schnellboot nach Con Dao überzusetzen.
Arrived in the south of Vietnam, we were immediately approached by a boat driver, whether we would like to do a short boat tour in the sunset. After careful consideration and lack of plans, we have agreed. The tour was worth every penny!
The next day we made the well-known tour to the Floating Markets. An impressive experience, especially since only a few tourists were traveling.
Already at noon we left for Soc Trăng to take the speedboat to Con Dao the next day.

I bought a bicycle and decide to tour the local Mekong Delta. My starting point? Hong Ngu, Vietnam. A town with virtually no tourism.
I rode my bike four countless kilometers and bumped in to the border of Cambodia twice in one day - riding down two completely different rivers/channels.
I encourage anyone to do this. It was completely safe and I was greeted by so many local people!

CAN THO City in VIETNAM | Can Tho Travel Vlog tour of river area & street food
I took the bus to Can Tho from Saigon
(see my Vietnam Bus to Can Tho vlog here
*** *** )
and now that I have arrived in Can Tho I take a walk through the streets of Can Tho city centre down to the river area to find out what to do in Can Tho on your Vietnam holiday.
Can Tho is the largest city on the edge of the Mekong Delta. As sunset approaches I grab some drone video of Can Tho city revealing a guitar on the Can Tho pavement as the street food stalls are setting up. Like many towns in Vietnam the street food stall and night markets come alive at night here in Can Tho.
After my quick tour of Can Tho city I am heading for an early night, tomorrow I have an early start as I head out to see some of the famous Can Tho floating markets.
