&quot;A day trip to the Mekong Delta is the perfect way to get a taste of the gorgeous Vietnamese countryside&rsquo;&rsquo; &ndash; <a href="https://www.bruisedpassports.com/wheres/day-trip-mekong-delta-vietnam">Savi and Vid</a>

The iconic waterways of the Mekong Delta snake through Southern Vietnam bringing life to the lush region. Famed for being one of Asia&rsquo;s longest rivers, it runs through six countries and is known as the Nine Dragons River by the Vietnamese. Packed with local life, nature, temples and floating markets, the area is a favourite among both tourists and locals.

Your Mekong Delta tour will begin with a pick-up from your Ho Chi Minh hotel and an introduction to your local tour guide. Following a journey by air-conditioned minibus, you&rsquo;ll board a motorboat from Mỹ Tho and start to experience the lush forests, swamps and rice plantations that make the region so well-loved. Tour highlights will include visiting the famous Dragon, Phoenix, Turtle and Unicorn islands, as well as a traditional &lsquo;sampan&rsquo; boat ride. Locals hand-row these colourful, wooden vessels under shady coconut trees &ndash; a must to experience the iconic countryside!

&quot;One of the best memories of my trip was the Mekong Delta day tour&hellip; The Mekong Delta is certainly large enough to be its own country, making navigating the area an impossible endeavor to do alone&rsquo;&rsquo; &ndash; <a href="https://blog.inspitrip.com/3875/mekong-delta-day-tour-review/">Gian Karlo Antalan</a>

There will be plenty of opportunities to soak up the local life as we tour the region&rsquo;s most important villages by tuk-tuk and visit traditional workshops including coconut candy and honey farming. Sample the sweet local produce - but don&rsquo;t spoil your appetite because we&rsquo;ll travel next to an authentic local restaurant for a 5-course tasting lunch. This is an opportunity to try some of Southern Vietnam&rsquo;s most delicious dishes before journeying on to our final stop, the Vĩnh Tr&agrave;ng Temple. Spy 100-year-old Buddha statues and marvel over the gilded gold exterior before we make our way back to Saigon at the end of a well-spent afternoon...

&quot;The tour is a fantastic was to see the Mekong if you only have a day to spare. The journey didn&#39;t feel too long and we still had plenty of time in the region. The highlight was definitely cruising down the thin waterways in a canoe which we did at the end of the day. This was how I&#39;d envisioned the region to look like - it was really special!&quot;&nbsp;&ndash; ​Rose Munday
