“…We went by air conditioned bus to the river where we boarded a boat. We went up river to an island where we saw bees & had honey tea & then got to see how they make coconut candy, which was very interesting, we tasted some local fruit & watched a performance by some local singers. We then got to have a ride on small boats for a short distance on the small river ways. After this we boarded our boat & went across to another island where we had lunch & got to relax in hammocks before we returned to the boat & then onto our bus for a return drive to Ho Chi Minh. Good day out…”

Great trip personally planned by Viet Prestige
– Booking a Mekong day trip with VPT made me amazed at how good they are.
– Hoa Pham – Our supporter was very patient (considering all the changes I made).
– Every detail was thought of and organised perfectly, though this was a short trip.
– Our ferry woman rowd the boat by legs – unbelievable!.
– This trip is a must, even if you don’t have much time. Highly recommend!

Day Spent on the Mekong Delta
– We had a really nice tour of the Mekong
– It was typical of most with the multiple destinations and the making of coconut candies, visits to the villages and shops
– Our guide was outstanding and made the whole place including it’s rich history come alive for us
– It was a bit longer drive than I thought it would be so plan accordingly especially with plenty of water … worth the visit though!!
