A day in the Delta
A wonderful day trip to Mekong Delta. Our tour guide Ken was energetic, knowledgeable and funny. He was a great guide and leader of our group through the tour. The tour provides a great snapshot of many aspects of the delta, delicious food, and picture worthy experiences. I had a great time and recommend spending your day this way to anyone who wants a feel for what life in the delta looks like.

Great day on the Mekong River
Binh was a funny, polite and knowledgeable guide. Our trip to Mekong delta boat trip, took about 2hrs in a very comfortable car. We boarded a river boat taking us to one of the islands. We then boarded a small rowing boat, with a local man who took us on a river towards a dam. This holds back fresh water. We then walked towards a village. We had fresh fruits & tea. And had local people play traditional instruments and sing for our entertainment and shown the process of making chocolate from the husk, grown on the island. Our trip took us on a tuk tuk towards a coconut village that makes delicious 🍬 sweets, candies from coconut cream & chocolate. A wonderful experience to see the real Mekong river islands. My only concern is for people who are not agile. Getting on and off the boat was slippery, it was a rainy day that made the boat and steps very dangerous. Not advisable for elderly or young children.

Why this scores 56
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Private Mekong Delta DayTour | My Tho & Ben Tre Hidden Gems: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Ho Chi Minh City.
How much does Private Mekong Delta DayTour | My Tho & Ben Tre Hidden Gems cost?
+
Prices start at $72 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 Private Mekong Delta DayTour | My Tho & Ben Tre Hidden Gems take?
+
Plan for about 6 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 Private Mekong Delta DayTour | My Tho & Ben Tre Hidden Gems worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 56 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 3 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Ho Chi Minh City, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Private Mekong Delta DayTour | My Tho & Ben Tre Hidden Gems?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Private Mekong Delta DayTour | My Tho & Ben Tre Hidden Gems suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 6-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Private Mekong Delta DayTour | My Tho & Ben Tre Hidden Gems?
+
Around 1 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 6-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Private Mekong Delta DayTour | My Tho & Ben Tre Hidden Gems 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 Cai Be Mekong Delta Tour: Cooking Class, Cycling & Craft Villages, Adventure Cu Chi Tunnels and Mekong Delta Tour From HCM, Cu Chi Tunnels and Mekong Delta 1 Day Tour With Small Group. 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.
