Mekong Delta

Where nine dragon rivers dissolve into a floating world of markets and mangroves.

2-3 nights recommendedNovember-April (dry season)Plan this chapter →

The Mekong Delta is Vietnam's rice bowl: a labyrinth of canals, floating markets, and fruit orchards where life unfolds entirely on water. The morning markets of Cái Bè and Cái Răng are among the most vivid scenes in Southeast Asia.

We also reach My Tho and Ben Tre among the waterways, with Ho Chi Minh City (SGN) the gateway.
