Explore the Mighty Mekong Delta in Vietnam

After traveling about 70 km along the National Highway south-west from Ho Chi Minh City, we arrived in a town called My Tho, where a ferry boat was waiting for us to explore the Mekong Delta area.

We started our Mekong Delta Tour from the jetty in My Tho town. The ferry boat will bring us to the Ben Tre where we will visit a Coconut Candy factory, longan orchard, tropical fruits villages, horse ride through a village, relaxed rowing boat ride along a small canal and a honey bee farm.

If you have only a day to spare in Ho Chi Minh City, do take this tour and see for yourself the richness in daily life of its inhabitants in the Mekong Delta area.
