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.

Ho Chi Minh City (Vietnamese: Thành phố Hồ Chí Minh; About this sound listen, formerly named Saigon (Vietnamese: Sài Gòn; About this sound listen, French: Saïgon), is the largest city in Vietnam. Under the name Saigon, it was the capital of the French colony of Cochinchina and later of the independent republic of South Vietnam from 1955--75. South Vietnam was a capitalist and anti-communist state which fought against the communist North Vietnamese and Viet Cong during the Vietnam War, with the assistance of the United States and other countries. On 30 April 1975, Saigon fell and the war ended with a Communist victory. 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).[3]
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,[nb 1] making it the most populous metropolitan area[4] in Vietnam. The city's population is expected to grow to 13.9 million in 2025.[5]
The Ho Chi Minh City Metropolitan Area, a metropolitan area covering most parts of the Southeast region plus Tiền Giang Province and Long An Province under planning, will have an area of 30,000 square kilometres (11,583 sq mi) with a population of 20 million inhabitants by 2020.[6] According to the Mercer Human Resource Consulting, Economist Intelligence Unit and ECA International, Ho Chi Minh City is ranked 132 on the list of world's most expensive cities for expatriate employees.

Fishing the Saigon River (Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam)/ Câu Cá ở Sông Sài Gòn
First video of my adventure YouTube channel. I’ve been living in Vietnam since 2014 and have been exploring it ever since. I’m an avid outdoorsman and spend a considerable amount of time in the countryside.
Had a little bit of free time the other day and decided to do some afternoon fishing in the Saigon River.
Having fished a ton in California, Vietnam comes with new challenges and obstacles to overcome. Nevertheless, I enjoy every bit of it.
Currently residing in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam.

Ho Chi Minh city - Saigon river side walk
The Saigon River flows from Cambodia through South Vietnam before merging into the South China Sea close to the Mekong Delta. In Ho Chi Minh City the river is also joined by the Dong Nai River and the Ben Cat River.
The Saigon River is still very much a working river and is the only way in which you’ll be able to experience sites such as the Cu Chi tunnels, hidden canals and the Mekong Delta. There are a number of tour operators offering cruises which can be booked as private charters or as part of a tour group, some offer Saigon River dinner cruise and fire dancing on board, others are daytrips further afield to see some of the historical and cultural hotspots only accessible by boat on the Saigon River.
Perhaps night visit is more scenic than day time.

Views of the Saigon River from Ho Chi Minh City in Vietnam
We went for a sunset walk along the Saigon River in the middle of Ho Chi Minh City in Vietnam.
They have slowly started giving this area a make over and there are plenty of people around at most times of the day.
This video is looking out over the river and in the distance you can see all of the new high rises being developed out in the Thao Dien direction.
All of the times we visited there were plenty of boats travelling along the river and after some of the big storms you would see lots of trees and branches travelling down the river too.
The advertising signs stayed with the same advertiser for the whole time we were in Ho Chi Minh City except if we were coming into a Public Holiday or a celebration, then they would change for a week or so.
If you want to see more of my Vietnam Travel videos you can subscribe to my channel or head along to my website to read more about my travels with the family in tow.

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.

Ho Chi Minh City (Saigon), the Largest City in Vietnam
Ho Chi Minh City, formerly named Saigon is the largest city in Vietnam. The city center is situated on the banks of the Saigon River, 60 kilometers from the South China Sea and 1,760 kilometers south of Hanoi, the capital of Vietnam. The metropolitan area is populated by more than 9,000,000 people, making it the most populous metropolitan area in Vietnam and the countries of the former French Indochina.
The city was once an important Khmer sea port prior to annexation by the Vietnamese in the 17th century. Conquered by France in 1859, the city was influenced by the French during their colonial occupation of Vietnam, and a number of classical Western-style buildings and French villas in the city reflect this.
Under the name Saigon, it was the capital of the independent state of South Vietnam from 1955-75. In 1976, Saigon merged with the surrounding province and was officially renamed Ho Chi Minh City, after the pre-eminent but by-then deceased North Vietnamese leader. However the old Saigon name is still used by both Vietnamese and foreigners, especially when referring to the most central part of the city to which most tourists flock.
Today, the city's core is still adorned with wide elegant boulevards and historic French colonial buildings. The most prominent structures in the city center are Reunification Palace, City Hall, the Municipal Theatre and Notre-Dame Cathedral. Some of the historic hotels are the Hotel Majestic, dating from the French colonial era, and the Rex and Caravelle hotels are former hangouts for American officers and war correspondents in the 1960s/70s. The city has various museums, such as the Ho Chi Minh City Museum or the Museum of Vietnamese History.
