Ho Chi Minh City Day Tour: Mekong Delta (full day)

Introduction

The Mekong Delta is where this mighty river, which runs through six different countries, empties out into the sea. It is an incredibly thriving region, agricultural haven, and one of the most important fishing regions in all of Vietnam. This day tour to Ben Tre gives you a gentle touch into the peaceful countryside where you'll develop an in-depth understanding of local life outside of the big city.
