Mekong Delta Tour (full day)
Trip Code: MKQ
The Mekong Delta is considered the rice bowl of Vietnam, producing sometimes three crops of rice a year and an abundance of fresh tropical fruits, such as longan, jackfruit, sapodilla, and pineapple. The Mekong starts in Tibet and journeys through seven countries before reaching Vietnam where it splits into nine tributaries and empties into the South China Sea.
Today you will travel by boat exploring the mighty Mekong, observing river life and sampling many local delicacies, including the elephant ear fish, for lunch. Travel on wide and narrow tributaries, visit orchads, and local produce farms. After a relaxing and indulgent day return to Ho Chi Minh City around 4.30pm

PLACES OF INTEREST
Mekong Delta
The former capital of South Vietnam, Ho Chi Minh City is home to over 5 million people. The city is rapidly changing in this modern world, but there are still many examples of its former glory. The post office and Notre Dame Cathedral are
examples of the French influence, while Ben Thanh Market is the throng of daily life.
Often referred to as the lifeblood of Vietnam, the Mekong Delta is a fertile region where much of the country's rice, sugar cane and fruit crops are grown. Most popular is a visit to the floating markets near Can Tho, where traders barter their produce from their boats. Floating down the many canals and waterways is a great way to experience life in the Mekong Delta.
