Ho Chi Minh City is one of Vietnam’s most bustling and vibrant destinations. Home to museums, the Saigon Opera House, palaces, and lots of cool hangouts, there’s always something to do and somewhere to go — even after dark. But what about when you want to escape the chaos of the city and slow down a bit? You explore the simpler way of life along the Mekong Delta, of course.

Ever Idyllic

It’s easy to glamourize the simple life on this rural adventure, where you’ll experience large amounts of beauty and tranquility.

  • You’ll arrive at My Tho to visit Vinh Trang pagoda before beginning your lazy boat ride along the river. Focus on what’s in front of you — not your screen— as you drift by the fishing villages, stilt houses, and fruit plantations that have made themselves at home by the riverside.

  • Tortoise Islet is where you’ll enjoy a delightful lunch in a lovely orchard garden. After your meal, it’s time for the voyage to continue as you indulge in yet another boat ride, this time to An Khanh. Less touristy than Ben Tre, it’s a completely old-fashioned experience as you smoothly cut through the water in a hand-rowed sampan. Treat yourself to honey tea and seasonal fruit as you listen to Southern Vietnamese folk music, courtesy of the locals.

  • Learn about the business of rural living when you visit a family-owned operation. It’s not just an educational and cultural exchange, it’s an opportunity to savor the sweet taste of coconut candy; admire pastoral life; and stroll through the the fruit plantation and village. It’s a far cry from the digital age, and that’s precisely why you’ll love it!

  • Finally, it’s time to meet your bus and return to Ho Chi Minh City proper. You may have to leave the simple life behind, but you’ll be taking amazing memories back with you…and maybe an extra piece of coconut candy if you’re lucky.
