Blessed with a unique southern charm theMekong Delta offers a welcoming introduction to life along the river.
Explore quaint riverside towns, barter for fruit in colourful floating
markets and dine on fresh delicacies. Lush with rice paddies this delta
is where you will find the iconic images of fisherman in conical hats
and a relaxed, tranquil pace of life.
To really experience life
on the delta an overnight stay is a must. Can Tho is the largest town
in the delta and perfect for an overnight stay from Saigon.This buzzing
town has a lively waterfront and a colourful array of narrow back
streets as well as a close proximity to a number of floating markets.
Deeper into the delta is Chau Doc, close to the Cambodian border.

floating villages are in abundance and the mix of Chinese, Cham and
Khmer communities makes it a fascinating place to explore. From here it
is possible to carry on upstream into Cambodia.
