    Soon this floating market will disappear

    We can easily imagine a very hard life on these boats both floating shop and place to live. This floating market sells, buys, barters only yam pineapple fruits and vegetables dragon fruits and passion milk apple. Besides, it is planned that you stop to eat it In this tour you will discover a rice noodle factory, I was invited to participate They then dry outside. It is one of Vietnam s largest floating markets. The choice between tradition and modernity

    Extraordinary

    We took a 3h excursion at sunrise with Hung! We were lucky enough to be alone on the boat and were able to watch the sunrise! Hung was great with us, he explained how the floating market works and introduced us to the shops we had breakfast in (delicious noodles and hot coffee) and pineapples with chilli salt! A delight! We highly recommend this visit with Hung:) his phone on WhatsApp is: ‪+84 76 490 5534€!

    Do the Mekong Delta Discovery with Susan Bui

    My family and I went on this tour while staying with Susan Bui for one night during our trip around Vietnam and Cambodia and it was a highlight of our holiday. We would give Susan 6 stars if we could; we cannot recommend her enough. If you’re thinking of doing the Mekong Delta tour, Susan’s homestay would definitely be worth your while. Even though Susan’s home is only a short drive (arranged by our host) from Can Tho, it feels entirely different. It’s a great break from the busyness of cities like Ho Chi Minh. Susan’s brother Nick brought us on a (very easy) bike tour of the area, including a stop at the market to buy ingredients for dinner, and it felt like we were seeing the real lives of the locals. The accommodation itself is great - a very peaceful area, and the rooms were lovely (the mosquito nets were especially appreciated). Preparing and eating dinner together was absolutely enjoyed by all. Susan’s boat tour down the Hau River in the morning involves an early start (5.30am) but it’s well worth it to see the floating markets at their busiest and to enjoy breakfast on the river. The other stops on the tour were just as interesting, and Susan is a fantastic guide - very informative and engaging. Easily the best aspect of our experience, however, was Susan’s accommodation of my severe peanut allergy. Travelling in Vietnam can be difficult, because peanuts and peanut oil are so common, so there’s a cultural as well as a language barrier to overcome. The early leg of our trip involved a lot of McDonald’s. Not only did Susan take my allergy into account when providing us with lunch and when we got to make dinner with her, but she also ensured that the restaurant we visited for lunch after the boat trip cooked my meal in a substitute oil. We would recommend Susan’s homestay for everyone, but especially people with food allergies or intolerances. It was great to be able to try Vietnamese cooking without any stress or fear. Last of all, after we had parted ways with Susan, our bus to HCMC broke down before leaving Can Tho. We got in touch with Susan and she arranged a replacement bus on short notice (on NYE) and had us on the road within 40 minutes of us calling her. She really went above and beyond, and we couldn’t thank her enough. Tl;dr: if you are interested in doing the Mekong Delta Discovery Tour would highly recommend staying with Susan, especially for those with food allergies.

    Fun morning on the delta

    Arrived by 7:30 am to catch the sellers on their boats before they leave for other areas. Fresh fruits , vegetables and noodles. Ate a breakfast of pho which was hot and flavorful. Also ate freshly trimmed pineapple which was sweet. Road the boat to a fruit farm and sampled more fruits. Also stopped at a family run noodle factory which made rice and tapioca flour sheets for fresh rolls.

    Mekong Delta Discovery Day Tour - My Tho - Ben Tre: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Ho Chi Minh City.

    How much does Mekong Delta Discovery Day Tour - My Tho - Ben Tre cost?

    +

    Prices start at $46 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Ho Chi Minh City usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

    How long does Mekong Delta Discovery Day Tour - My Tho - Ben Tre take?

    +

    Plan for about 8 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Ho Chi Minh City is not rushed.

    Is Mekong Delta Discovery Day Tour - My Tho - Ben Tre worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 53 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.8/5 across 5 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable most popular in Ho Chi Minh City, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule Mekong Delta Discovery Day Tour - My Tho - Ben Tre?

    +

    No. This experience is sold on a non-refundable basis, so only book a date you are confident about. Similar experiences in the city do offer free cancellation if flexibility matters more than price.

    Is Mekong Delta Discovery Day Tour - My Tho - Ben Tre suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 8-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Mekong Delta Discovery Day Tour - My Tho - Ben Tre?

    +

    Around 2 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Ho Chi Minh City can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.

    What should I bring or wear?

    +

    Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Ho Chi Minh City and add a light layer if any part of the 8-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Mekong Delta Discovery Day Tour - My Tho - Ben Tre start and how do I get there?

    +

    The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Ho Chi Minh City within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.

    What are the best things to do in Ho Chi Minh City?

    +

    On Outty we rank every Ho Chi Minh City experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Adventure Cu Chi Tunnels and Mekong Delta Tour From HCM, Cu Chi Tunnels Small-Group Tour: Vietnam War Underground Network, Cu Chi underground tour - Learn Vietnam war with others. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.

    When is the best time to visit Ho Chi Minh City?

    +

    Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.

    How many days do you need in Ho Chi Minh City?

    +

    Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.

    Do I book through Outty or through the operator?

    +

    Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
