Mekong Delta Shore Excursion

TOUR OVERVIEW
The Mekong Delta is truly a paradise! Located west of Ho Chi Minh City, it spans a large area dotted with many towns and villages. The delta offers plenty of orchards, fields, plantations, and swamp lands. It is recognizable as Vietnam's major rice bowl and producer of many fruits and vegetables. One will be enchanted with the region's numerous colors of flora and fauna. Life is less stressful here. We will visit the town of Ben Tre, about two hours away from the city. Known as the "Kingdom of Coconut", Ben Tre is one of the best places to explore the untouched and natural landscapes of the Mekong Delta, Vietnam: its beautiful water coconut canals combined with traditional activities and lush gardens. Relax on a local rowing boat as we drift serenely through several green canals lying beneath high-rising water coconut trees. Doubtlessly, it is truly a picture of paradise. 

 PICK-UP POINT 
At the Hiep Phuoc or Nha Rong port gates, around a 2-hour drive to the Mekong Delta – Ben Tre. If you arrive at Phu My port, it is around a 3-hour drive to the Mekong Delta. The tour guide and driver will greet you with a sign of your full name and a warm smile and take you for a brilliant day.
