Cruise through the Mekong Delta – Sunset, Orchards & Local Life

Hop aboard a traditional wooden boat and glide through the peaceful canals of the Mekong Delta, where life flows with the current. This scenic cruise offers travelers a chance to explore lush fruit orchards, visit coconut candy workshops, and walk through quiet villages surrounded by rice paddies. Enjoy hands-on activities like trying local tropical fruits, learning to row a sampan, or joining locals to make bánh xèo (Vietnamese savory pancakes).

As the day draws to a close, watch the sunset over endless waterways, a golden reflection on the gentle Mekong surface — a moment both romantic and unforgettable. Many tours also include a folk music performance, traditional lunch, and a chance to chat with local families.
