Best place in Mekong Delta Tours

Great place to stay when you want to experience Mekong delta. We stayed here two nights. The family is friendly and you can feel comfortable. Garden is fantastic with chickens, dogs and cats and all other animals. Dinner and breakfast were just great! We had also possibility to see how they prepare food. And what was surprisingly, there was not almost none mosquitos. Cottage was clean and pretty. We recommend to take bikes to go around the village and fruit plantations. Family can takes you also for a boat trip. I wish I could talk french because in english you don´t get so much information.



We enjoyed staying at this beautiful homestay in the middle of the Mekong for 3 nights. No cars are able to reach the location so know that you will have to travel the last few 100meters by motorbike, which is no problem, as they are used to this. We enjoyed staying in our cottage after we moved out of the one which was directly located next to the kitchen. As they still cook with open fire, which is great, the smoke didn't stay only in the kitchen but also reached our cottage. But mentioning this to Vinh, he directly helped us out and we moved to another charming cottage. Vinh is really a great and sweet help, together we visit the local market by bike and did our groceries for our dinner, which was super tasty and fresh!! Make sure you bring cash as there is no cc service available.
Want to experience the real Mekong Delta without having loads of tourist around, this is the place to be.



This was one of the highlights of our trip to the Mekong Delta Vietnam the place is nice, they have small, clean and well decorated bungalows around the property a nice area to have lunch and breakfast outside and the owners are great Vinh was always smiling and trying to please us
we stay only one night and went on a bike ride around town and had the opportunity to see and talk to the local people around the villa our guide help us with the language.

The garden and surrounding areas need some TLC and also the ponds that they have besides that it is perfect we had the opportunity to cook with them a traditional meal from scratch and was a great experience we ate sitting on the floor as per our request because that is the way they do it and we felt that was a real authentic experience .The food was phenomenal at dinner, the lunch was very good too however the breakfast was very simple (tea,fruit juice,bread and butter and pineapple) .

After the dinner, Scooter Sai Gon Tour gave us a nice foot massage and it was the perfect final touch for a day full of activities. They had a nice little dog "Nana" and she escorted us everywhere. very sweet
It is out of the beaten path so is not very touristic just what we wanted to go a way of the rest of the tourist

Mekong Delta scooter tours from Saigon from 98$

This tour, which lasts approximately seven hours, starts in Ho Chi Minh City and heads towards rural areas of the delta. Guests will have the opportunity to experience spectacular scenery, local cottage industries and much more before returning to downtown Ho Chi Minh City.



Begin your great fun and adventure scooter tour to Mekong Delta from Ho Chi Minh City and ride to Can Duoc Market – a stunning rural market (40 km). The scene changes from bustling streets with buildings and noise to peaceful rice paddles with cottages and small houses en-route. Then you will take a rural route to My Loi Ferry. Some stops en route to see farmers working on paddy fields. Cross Vam Co River by the ferry then ride to Go Cong then Tan Hoa (25 km). Have some stops en-route to visit an incense workshop, through some remote villages and reach Tan Thanh beach for seafood lunch and relax. Then continue riding from this Mekong Delta beach to Ben Tre (45km).





We spent the first day by the pool relaxing and eating cornflakes. The next day we went to the market in the morning which was by far the cleanest one in Vietnam we had been to. Everything was so fresh and many of the animals were still alive: fish, snakes, turtles, shellfish, and snails. There weren’t too many prepared food options for lunch though, so we bought some sketchy street pancakes and headed back to the hotel for a swim.




Mekong – My Tho – Ben Tre: enjoy cruising on a hand-rowed sampan under the shadow of the water coconut trees along natural canals, then enjoy seasonal fruit honey tea to the sound of “Southern Vietnamese folk music”, performed by locals. Mekong delta by Scooter is the right choice for you!  We aim to show you how real Vietnamese people live, work and eat!
