Tour Itinerary

The Mekong Delta 1 Day Private Tour (My Tho - Vinh Long) offers a flexible departure time.

After pickup from your hotel/apartment, begin the morning with a smooth one-and-a-half-hour drive through rice field scenery along National Highway 1, which brings you to the beautiful rural area of My Tho, where you will visit Vinh Trang Pagoda - an architecture of Chinese character, including the front shrine, sanctum, ancestors' house, and back shrine. The pagoda’s style is an elegant blend of West and East; it’s truly a sight to behold.

Next, tourists will cross the 30/4 Tien River by motorboat, overlooking floating houses where fish are farmed beneath them and the Rach Mieu Bridge. At Thoi Son Islet (Unicorn Island), visitors walk through village streets, visiting people's houses and orchards, enjoying seasonal fruits while listening to traditional Vietnamese music (Don Ca Tai Tu, a folk art form from Southern Vietnam recognized by UNESCO in 2013 as Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity).

Check out the coconut candy shop to learn how to make candy and see coconut handicrafts. Afterward, take an amazing rowing-boat trip along the island's small creeks, shaded by tall coconut trees, to a local restaurant, then enjoy special Vietnamese dishes (vegetarian options are available).

After lunch, visitors can ride a bike or a horse-drawn carriage around the village, immerse themselves in the lives of local people, and enjoy the beauty of the coconut land before heading back to Ho Chi Minh, ending the Mekong Delta day tour from Ho Chi Minh.
