Full-Day Excursion To Mekong Delta From HCM City

What to Expect

Mekong Delta is naturally carpeted in a dizzying array of greens. This is a water world where floating houses, boats and markets float upon the innumerous canals, rivers, and streams that intersect on the landscape like arteries.
The charming beauty of the Mekong Delta and unique local living patterns have resulted in major tourist attractions including some luxuriant fruit orchards, well-known floating markets, mangrove forests Buddhist temples and Khmer pagodas, off-coast islands. The bustling commerce of its own town is opposite sharply to the almost-soporific and languid pace of the rural life. Let's experience the local life in Mekong Delta with GADT Travel!
