Mekong Delta Day Trips to and from Can Tho
Can Tho is 170 kilometres from Ho Chi Minh City and about four hours by road across the Can Tho bridge, which makes the classic delta tour a two-day one: My Tho and Ben Tre on the way down, a night in Can Tho, Cai Rang at dawn. Day trips in the other direction reach Chau Doc, Sa Dec and the orchards of Vinh Long.

Mekong Day Trips in Can Tho — Häufige Fragen
How far is Can Tho from Ho Chi Minh City?
About 170 km, or three and a half to four hours by road over the Can Tho bridge. Sleeper buses run all day from Mien Tay station, and there are short flights into Can Tho International Airport from Hanoi and Phu Quoc.
Can you visit Can Tho as a day trip from Ho Chi Minh City?
You can, but it means leaving at 4am and missing the market entirely, because Cai Rang is finished by eight. Overnight in Can Tho and take the sunrise boat — every guide in the delta will tell you the same thing.
What else is worth seeing in the Mekong Delta?
Ben Tre for the coconut workshops, Vinh Long and Sa Dec for the orchards and the flower village, Chau Doc for Sam Mountain and the Cham villages, and Tra Su cajuput forest in flood season. Most combine naturally with Can Tho on a two- or three-day route.
