Authentic Mekong Delta Tour With Local Experts

Mekong delta speedboat tour

This was a great tour from start to finish. Our beautiful guide lucky made our day enjoyable. We all had the best time. Her knowledge of the locals and the area was incredible and she was so happy and kind and we had many laughs she was so helpful. On the boat ride we were given as much ice cold water and soft drink as we wanted as well as fresh local fruits that was continually served throughout our trip. We were taken to a lovely local orchard and our host was very nice. Lucky walked us through and introduced us to all the fruit grown and taught us about all the benefits of the tree the fruit and leaves then stopped for some tea and tried some amazing fruit that the host had laid out for us. We headed to a pagoda then to the local markets the people were lovely and left you alone to look at their stalls with smiles lucky helped with interpreting which made it easier to purchase things. We headed to cai dei temple, it was beautiful and very peaceful, before heading to a local boarding school that housed orphans and local children. We passed through at nap time with the children attempting to rest. They were adorable and their smiles and giggles were infectious. The school was amazing. We then got back on the boat and headed to a stop and were transferred to sampon boats and were taken on a little ride rowed by local to experience the river. We then headed to a local coconut farm and we all got to try our hand at cutting coconuts under the guidance of lucky this was so much fun. We then hopped back on the boat and were taken to a local restaurant where we were served a delicious lunch before heading back on the boat to the city. All in all this was a great trip and would highly recommend it. We had the best day. Thank you lucky and the team on board 🇦🇺

Response from the operator: Lucky is going to absolutely love reading this. It sounds like she brought so much warmth, laughter and local knowledge to your day, and we’re really happy she helped you connect with the people and places you visited along the way. We also loved reading about the moments that stood out to you, tasting fruit in the orchard, exploring the local market, trying your hand at cutting coconuts, and slowing down for the sampan ride through the river. Those little experiences are such a big part of what makes the Mekong special. Thank you for spending the day with us and for such a generous recommendation. We’ll make sure Lucky and the boat team see your lovely message, they’ll be thrilled to know you had the best time with them. All the best from Les Rives Team!!

An awesome way to travel to the Mekong Delta

This was a great tour and such an awesome way to travel down to the Mekong Delta. Anna was super knowledgeable and really brought to life what life is like living along the river system.

Response from the operator: This is exactly the kind of Mekong experience we hope guests come away with, not just seeing the river, but understanding a little more about the lives built around it. Anna has a real gift for connecting the places you pass with the people who live there, so we’re especially happy that her stories and knowledge made the journey feel more vivid and meaningful. And doing it all by speedboat somehow makes the river itself part of the story. Thank you for spending the day with us and for describing the experience so beautifully. All the best from Les Rives Team!

Smooth and experience

We had Anna as our guide, she made the experience very smooth from a prompt pickup to detailed explanations throughout the tour. The tour itself was smooth with amazing food and non stop fruits and refreshments. We visited many different locations outside the city and had a nice change in pace. Highly recommend

Response from the operator: We’re so glad Anna made the whole day feel easy from the very beginning. From the prompt pickup to the way she explained each stop, it sounds like you were really well looked after throughout. We also love that you enjoyed the slower pace outside the city, along with the food, fresh fruit and refreshments along the way. That balance of exploring, learning and simply enjoying the journey is exactly what we hope the day feels like. Thank you for the lovely recommendation and for spending the day with us. All the best from Les Rives Team!
