The Enchanting Mekong Delta 3 Days: Cai Be- Can Tho- Chau Doc - Ho Chi Minh

Start & end in Ho Chi Minh City 3 days Up to 45

About this trip

Three days through the Mekong Delta, moving by boat between Cai Be, Can Tho, Chau Doc and Dong Thap, with Ho Chi Minh City as your start and end point.

The pace is slow and river-based — floating markets, small local meals, and time drifting through mangrove forest rather than a packed sightseeing schedule.

Good for anyone wanting a low-key look at rural southern Vietnam and its waterways rather than a city-focused trip.

What you'll do

  • Browse a floating market on the Mekong
  • Try local food along the delta
  • Listen to Vietnamese traditional folk music
  • Boat through the mangrove forest at Tra Su
  • Travel between Cai Be, Can Tho, Chau Doc and Dong Thap
Good to know
  • Relaxed pace, built around boat rides rather than active excursions
  • Suits travellers who want nature and river life over cities and nightlife
