The Mekong Delta is the biggest basket of rice in Vietnam. The surrounding lands comprise low-lying rice paddies, with dense mangroves and palms bordering the rivers. The tributaries of the mighty Mekong provide a comprehensive network of canals and channels making the rivers the best way to explore the region at a leisurely pace, while offering the opportunity to experience the truly unique lifestyle of this great river.
At 08.00 we leave Saigon behind and head to Vietnam's rice basket of Mekong Delta. We will pass through idyllic, rural scenes until we arrive at My Tho, a peaceful town on the bank of the Mekong River, where we will visit the Vinh Trang Pagoda. Next we will have a boat ride on the Mekong, visit local homes and orchards, a coconut candy workshop, a honeybee farm, take a sampan ride on palm-shaded creeks, try a taste of seasonal fruit and honey tea and enjoy a performance of traditional Southern singing. We return to Saigon about 5pm
