Private Mekong Delta Discovery with Lunch

Adventure through the pulsating heart of Vietnam, the Mekong Delta, launching from the bustling seaport in Ho Chi Minh City. This private, immersive tour whisks you away on a leisurely cruise along the serene Tien River, where the iconic Four Mythical Beasts of Southeast Asia - Dragon, Kirin, Tortoise, and Phoenix - are represented as captivating islets.

Your journey into this verdant labyrinth deepens as you explore honey bee farms, savoring the sweetness of honey tea with lemon, a local delicacy known for its health benefits. To heighten your exotic experience, you can mingle with the local inhabitants, sample an array of succulent tropical fruits, and even meet the residents of a python farm - perfect for adrenaline-seeking adventurers who long to touch pythons and capture momentous photographs. Further along, witness the authentic process of crafting coconut candies by hand at a local workshop.

Feast on local delicacies at a countryside restaurant followed by a tranquil rowing boat ride through a mangrove palm canal, offering a sneak peek into the laid-back lifestyle of the Vietnamese countryside.
