Itinerary
This Mekong Delta day tour offers a condensed introduction to southern Vietnam’s river culture, designed for Saigon-based travelers with limited time who want authentic waterway experiences. With private transportation and local boat rides, you’ll visit floating markets, fruit orchards, and narrow canals, experiencing the Mekong’s agricultural rhythms and water-based lifestyle in a single day.
The full-day itinerary includes motorboat rides through main channels, traditional rowboat navigation of smaller canals, orchard visits with fruit tastings, and a home-cooked Mekong lunch. Comfortable pacing with sitting breaks, minimal walking required, and routes chosen for cultural authenticity rather than tourist crowds.

Your adventure begins at 7:30 AM when our driver picks you up from your hotel for a journey to Cai Be. Here, you’ll dive into the colorful world of the floating market, where local barges brim with fresh fruits and vegetables. As you cruise through this lively scene, you’ll have the chance to visit local workshops and witness the creation of regional specialties like rice paper, coconut candy, and pop-rice.
The tour then takes you deeper into the countryside by rowing boat, offering a peaceful journey through smaller canals. You’ll see traditional houses crafted from wood and palm leaves, and observe local farmers going about their daily lives. There’s even an opportunity to watch them fish and perhaps strike up a conversation.
Lunch is a delightful affair at Ut Trinh’s home, giving you a taste of authentic Mekong cuisine. Afterward, take a stroll through lush orchards, sample fresh fruits, and listen to traditional music. The day’s adventure continues with a bicycle ride through village paths, offering an up-close look at local farms, houses, and the time-honored methods of fruit harvesting in the Delta.
As the day winds down, you’ll bid farewell to the Mekong and make your way back to Saigon, carrying with you memories of a day filled with rich experiences and insights into the vibrant life along the river.
