Mekong Delta

Follow the river beyond the day-trip routes

Ben Tre and Tra Vinh: a closer look

Ben Tre offers gardens, waterways and family workshops. Tra Vinh brings another perspective through its Khmer cultural heritage. Link the two at a gentle pace, with time for locally guided visits, meals and small roads instead of a succession of brief photo stops.

Continue towards Can Tho and Chau Doc

Can Tho can be part of a deeper route through the Delta; Chau Doc provides a possible next stage towards Cambodia. Markets and river activity are living environments, so we plan around local conditions and avoid promising a fixed scene. The guide helps you understand what is happening on the day.
