Tour di un'intera giornata del Delta del Mekong Ben Tre
Descrizione
Salta gli affollati autobus di gruppo per My Tho e Cai Be: questa gita privata di un giorno ti porta a Ben Tre, il lato più tranquillo del delta del Mekong, ancora modellato da boschetti di cocco, forni per mattoni e vita fluviale che non è cambiata molto in decenni. A circa 1,5 ore da Ho Chi Minh City, Ben Tre offre un’alternativa più autentica e meno turistica alle rotte più visitate del delta. Scivolerai attraverso stretti canali in sampan, osserverai le famiglie locali tessere stuoie di cocco e fare caramelle tradizionali a mano e ti fermerai in un forno di mattoni funzionante - uno dei pochi ancora operativi nella regione. Con una Guida privata e un autista, il ritmo è tutto tuo: indugia dove è interessante, salta ciò che non lo è. Più adatto per i viaggiatori che vogliono uno sguardo genuino alla vita rurale del delta piuttosto che una lista di controllo delle fermate turistiche.
Opzioni del tour
Itinerario
Parti da Saigon e dirigiti direttamente a Ben Tre. Sali a bordo di una barca privata per goderti la vista più spettacolare e una rilassante gita in barca sul fiume Mekong. La tua prima tappa è una fornace di mattoni locale dove impareremo come vengono fatti i mattoni di argilla. Proseguendo verso altri villaggi, imparerai a conoscere il carbone di cocco, la lavorazione delle fibre di cocco, il laboratorio di caramelle al cocco e la frutta appena raccolta da un orto locale. Passerai più tempo a snodarti lungo il fiume e a navigare su una lunga e bella insenatura ricoperta di palme da cocco ombrose, Nipa poi fermati a visitare il villaggio locale di tessitura di tappetini per saperne di più sui tappetini, gli stili di vita tradizionali, la cultura e le usanze locali prima di saltare su uno xe-lôi (risciò a motore) o goderti un giro in bicicletta per raggiungere un bel ristorante sul fiume per un delizioso pranzo con prelibatezze locali. Dopo pranzo, sperimenterai la gita in barca a remi lungo i pittoreschi canali. Tornate alla macchina e continuate a visitare il mercato locale di Ben Tre prima di tornare a Saigon.

We closed out our trip to vibrant Vietnam with a day trip to the Mekong Delta led by the memorable, both of name and character, Jason Superstar. From the day’s beginning to its end, we enjoyed wonderful insights into even more of the culture, history and lives of the people of Vietnam. The itinerary was full of variety but also very calm and relaxing. It was the perfect way to end our adventure and we are very grateful to Jason and the team of drivers and rowers for making it such a terrific day out. Highly recommended for a trip to Saigon-HCMC.
Dear Sandra, Thank you for your detailed review! We're glad that you had a great time in Ben Tre with us. Hope to see you again for another journey!!
Highly recommend the Mekong Delta Day tour. While the travel to/from HCMC can be a little long (2 hrs) once you arrive in the Delta the experience is amazing. Peaceful, local, and culturally genuine. We enjoyed all of our stops along the tour, especially the coconut candy shop and our Elephant Ear fish lunch in a quiet village. The hospitality of all the local peoples involved made our experience a great one. A special shout out to our tour guide Jason Super Star who brought an infectious energy and spirit to the tour. We were laughing, singing, and learning the whole time and it made the experience unforgettable. “Is it me you’re looking for!? Mango, pineapple, banana Watermellllloooon!!” IYKYK.
Dear j0nmarc0c, Thank you for highly recommending us. We are delighted that you had a wonderful experience in the Mekong with our enthusiastic guide, Jason. We look forward to seeing you again on future trips to other parts of Vietnam.
I recommend the experience in Ben Tre, it's very peaceful and authentic. It's quite far from Ho Chi Minh City, but the transportation was comfortable, so we were all very satisfied. Thank you to our guide for giving us such a wonderful day exploring the countryside. The guide told us many stories, and we learned a lot.
Thank you for sharing your experience. We’re glad you enjoyed the peaceful atmosphere in Ben Tre and felt comfortable throughout the journey. We truly appreciate the recommendation.
My husband and I have read and watched a lot about Vietnam, but this was our first time visiting the country. It was exactly what we expected for a relaxing trip in the Vietnamese countryside. The scenery in Ben Tre offers a slow and peaceful vibe, rowing a boat under the coconut trees was truly chill and refreshing. We also had the opportunity to explore traditional craft villages and enjoy local food and fresh fruits. Thank you very much for your thoughtful arrangement. :)
Dear Alexi, Thank you so much for your thoughtful review. We're glad to hear your family had a nice trip, we hope to welcome you back to explore more about Vietnam.
Had a wonderful one-day-tour from busy Ho Chi Minh to the Mekong and its sidearms, visiting artisans in a truly wonderful nature - thank you Son (our driver) and Typhoon Honey (our tour guide) for such an impressive experience!
Dear Relax04083829017, Thank you for sharing your experience. We’re glad you enjoyed the contrast between busy Ho Chi Minh City and the peaceful Mekong, and that Son and Typhoon Honey helped make the day memorable. We really appreciate your kind words and hope to welcome you again.
From the outset Jimmy our guide was so helpful and friendly. With Mr Dung at the wheel we felt very safe on what was a long day. The Mekong delta tour was tailor made to our liking and, including the tour s and travelling was 9 hours. Of course probably 2 hours in the Saigon traffic! We stopped at Vinh Trang Pegoda, then onto the Mekong delta, brick making kilns, coconut manufacturing, next coconut sweet making via long tail boats I believe, then lunch via bicycle rides at a small family restaurant followed with a long bike ride to the small hand rowed boats, possibly sampan, then back to our hotel. So much to see. So much to take in. Jimmy was so informative throughout and his English was excellent. Every time we stopped Mr Dung seemed to be waiting straight away for us. His presence on the road was excellent and we felt so safe. As you probably know Saigon roads can be an eye opener but not once did we feel any unease. Every part of the trip was relaxed, no pushy sales people, no begging or feeling we had to buy anything. What a great day. If you book with Gingko please try to get this couple of guys. Enjoy
Dear Richard M, Thank you for taking the time to share such a detailed review. We’re really glad to hear you enjoyed a relaxed and well-paced Mekong Delta day with Jimmy and Mr Dung, and that you felt safe and comfortable throughout the journey. It’s great to know the flexibility, local experiences, and calm atmosphere made the long day feel rewarding. We truly appreciate the recommendation and hope to welcome you again on another trip with Ginkgo Voyage.
Recommend if you want a quiet day. We joined the Ben Tre full day tour and really enjoyed it. The ride to bentre was a bit longer than I expected due to traffic but the van was clean and comfortable so it was fine. Our guide kept us entertained the whole time. The boat rides through the small canals were calm and gave us a real look at daily life by the river. We got to try fresh fruits and see how coconut candy is made. Lunch was simple but very good and filling. The whole trip felt easy and well arranged, nothing rushed.
Dear Phan C, Thank you for your thoughtful review! We’re happy to hear you enjoyed the Ben Tre day tour and found it relaxing and well-arranged. The peaceful canals, fresh fruits, and local experiences are exactly what make the Mekong Delta so special. We appreciate your kind words about our guide too — they’ll be delighted to know.
I have read and watched a lot about Vietnam but this is the first time I have been there. It is exactly what I expected for a relaxing trip in the Vietnamese countryside. The scenery in Bentre brings a slow relaxing vibe, rowing a boat under the coconut trees is very chill and cool. I also had the opportunity to explore traditional craft villages and enjoy local food. What I love most is the Vietnamese people, the guide is definitely fun and extremely dynamic, in addition, the people I met along the way were very open and welcoming, making me feel that when people say Vietnamese people are very sincere, it is not an exaggeration.
Dear Rachee, Thank you for sharing such a heartfelt review! We're so happy your first trip to Vietnam lived up to your expectations — and even more so that you felt the warmth and sincerity of the people. Ben Tre is indeed a peaceful gem, and we're glad you enjoyed the boat ride, local crafts, and food. Your words truly capture the essence of the Mekong Delta. We can’t wait to welcome you back for more authentic experiences!
The authentic Ben Tre experience I went to the Mekong Delta for the first time. Ben Tre is a very quiet and laid back place. It felt good to ride a small boat and go slowly along the river. It was fun to watch coconut candy making. Lunch was also delicious with Vietnamese home cooking. I'd like to come with my family again.
Dear Chiq422, Thank you for your lovely review, we’re happy to hear that you enjoyed your first visit to the Mekong Delta and that Ben Tre’s peaceful atmosphere made your day relaxing. It’s great that you liked the boat ride, coconut candy workshop, and local lunch. We hope to welcome you and your family again for another memorable trip in the future.
We spent a wonderful day in the Mekong Delta, around Ben Tre. The organization was perfect and our guide spoke very good French, which allowed us to understand everything easily. He was very kind and always smiling, he knew how to make the visit lively and interesting. We loved the boat ride and the local lunch. We highly recommend this excursion to discover the authentic life of the area
