    Must do tan lap village

    We did the row boat, motor boat, walk and fishing experience. It was an extra $9.60 for both of us it was definitely worth the money and they cooked the fish we caught for us for lunch. We were there 6 hours it didn't feel that long. While we were there the lotus blossoms were in bloom which was incredible, the water lillies were just finishing. It was such a peaceful relaxing day a great break away from the hustle and bustle of ho chi minh. When we were there we only saw one other group. The staff were very helpful. The tour guide Ryan was awesome and made the day that much better. He had an awesome sense of humor was very knowledgeable and answered all my questions as well as being very attentive. We are planning on going back in the wet season.

    Great experience solo

    Went during the week and it was peaceful and quiet away from large groups. Was told that during weekends it does get busier though

    Natural Getaway from the Urban Sprawl

    Incredibly enjoyable experience to escape the bustle of Ho Chi Minh City. At Tan Lap you can see gorgeous flora to admire as you calmly drift through the lake. The walk on the bridges give you a sense of scale of how flooded this village can be. The lunch at Tan Lap tastes delicious. Dwan was our tour guide and such a pleasure to have and made the whole tour 10x as enjoyable despite the scenery alone already being great. Thank you so much Dwan, hopefully I will be able to book you for something else.

    Tan Lap Floating Village Authentic Mekong Delta Nature Tour: questions travelers ask

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

    How much does Tan Lap Floating Village Authentic Mekong Delta Nature Tour cost?

    +

    Prices start at ₫48,000 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 Tan Lap Floating Village Authentic Mekong Delta Nature Tour 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 Tan Lap Floating Village Authentic Mekong Delta Nature Tour 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 6 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 Tan Lap Floating Village Authentic Mekong Delta Nature Tour?

    +

    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 Tan Lap Floating Village Authentic Mekong Delta Nature Tour 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 Tan Lap Floating Village Authentic Mekong Delta Nature Tour?

    +

    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 Tan Lap Floating Village Authentic Mekong Delta Nature Tour 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.

    What is included in Tan Lap Floating Village Authentic Mekong Delta Nature Tour?

    +

    Included: Private transportation; English speaking tour guide; and Hotel pick-up, drop-off at Ho Chi Minh city center. Not included: New year holiday surcharge, tips. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

    Does Tan Lap Floating Village Authentic Mekong Delta Nature Tour include hotel pickup?

    +

    Yes, pickup is offered for every traveler from 264 listed pickup locations in and around Ho Chi Minh City. Be ready about 15 minutes before the start time. You can also enter a custom pickup address when booking.

    What languages is Tan Lap Floating Village Authentic Mekong Delta Nature Tour offered in?

    +

    It runs in English. Pick your language when choosing a date and time, as not every departure runs in every language.

    Will I get instant confirmation and a mobile ticket for Tan Lap Floating Village Authentic Mekong Delta Nature Tour?

    +

    Confirmation is sent by the operator after booking, usually within 48 hours; if it is not confirmed you are not charged. Mobile tickets are accepted, so you can show the voucher on your phone.

    Is Tan Lap Floating Village Authentic Mekong Delta Nature Tour wheelchair or stroller accessible?

    +

    The operator notes: Infants are required to sit on an adult’s lap. If accessibility is critical, contact the operator after booking to confirm arrangements for your date.

    What happens to Tan Lap Floating Village Authentic Mekong Delta Nature Tour if the weather is bad?

    +
