Super tour to experience the Mekong Delta up close followed by a scooter tour of Ben Tre. First we took a relaxed boat tour (4 people + guide ). Afterwards, we visited the local market and learned and saw a lot about the processing of coconuts (from harvesting , to processing to final product in the form of super delicious coconut candies, Yammi ). At the end there was a very delicious lunch. Everything very off the beaten track (there were four of us), nice guides and informative. The tour is highly recommended for an authentic insight into life in the Mekong Delta. Organization top and everything very pleasantly casual:) I would definitely book it again !
We had a wonderful trip today on the Mekong River with An. She was fantastic, very kind, and gave us great explanations throughout the tour. We also enjoyed a long scooter ride, during which we stopped at coconut farms where they make coconut products and sweets. Along the way, we were able to admire beautiful natural landscapes. It was a really lovely experience. Thank you
Unforgettable experience! Fantastic welcome. A real discovery! Recommend without hesitation!
What a great experience ! Everything was perfect — from start to finish. Thanks to Pax for his kindness, professionalism, and sense of humor :) Thanks to the tour, we ate really well, learned about the local culture, and the boat trip was magical 😍
Frankly, incredible excursion! We loved it from start to finish. We discovered the region by scooter, crossing beautiful landscapes, coconut plantations and lots of small villages, far from tourist places. The craziest moment was the small private boat. We were super well settled, almost like in a living room, just with the guide and the pilot. Sailing in the forest on the Mekong, in total calm, with the feeling of being alone in the world... it was really magical. We also visited a pagoda, had lunch and discovered a cocoa farm. We've seen a lot of things in a short time, never in a hurry. If you're sleeping in Ben Tre, go ahead. It is an excursion not to be missed, authentic and far from mass tourism. We'll have a great memory of it!
It was an amazing tour with An in delta of Mekong river. Super interesting and intensive. We enjoyed every stop and location. Guides were very careful and attentive.
Lots of explanation fun and surprising stops, we were all fans. Fun facts always interesting info. Safe drivers
Fantastic experience with An who showed me around and adjusted the usual speed and style knowing I was nervous about riding a motorcycle/scooter for the first time. The boat ride was so peaceful with gorgeous views. Highly recommended!
It was a great experience and a very diverse tour - scooter, boat - with many exciting impressions and experiences in the Nekong Delta. Beautiful nature, good food, getting to know production methods etc., highly recommended. Especially our guide Nhan made the trip a real experience with his nice manner, his many explanations and his competent executions. You could ask him anything and learned a lot.
What an amazing way to spend our time. Our guide - An - was superb and taught us a lot about the way of life in the Mekong Delta. We experienced and learned about so many things: the making of chocolate, coconut candies and sugar cane drinks, the delectable taste of water coconut (very different from regular ones!). The river boat ride was relaxing, the scooter ride through the village lots of fun and the meal (vegan for us / regular for our companion) was delicious! Thank you An (and the uncles) for a fantastic time.
