From Saigon to Cambodia: Mekong Delta Discovery 6-Day

Ho Chi Minh City → Phnom Penh 6 days Up to 12

About this trip

Six days from Ho Chi Minh City down through the Mekong Delta and across the border into Cambodia, mixing war history, river life and two capital cities.

You start in Saigon with the Cu Chi Tunnels and a day by the coast in Vung Tau, then head into the Delta for villages, orchards and canals by boat. The trip closes in Phnom Penh, taking in both the Royal Palace and the Killing Fields.

It's a fair bit of ground for six days, so expect a mix of city sightseeing, slower river stretches and a border crossing partway through.

What you'll do

  • Walk through the Cu Chi Tunnels and hear how the Viet Cong used them
  • Spend a full day around Vung Tau's beaches and markets
  • Cruise the Mekong Delta's canals and floating markets by boat
  • Wander fruit orchards and coconut plantations in My Tho and Ben Tre
  • Bird-watch on a quiet boat ride through Tra Su Sanctuary
  • Visit Phnom Penh's Royal Palace and the Killing Fields
Good to know
  • Covers two countries and several regions in six days, so it's a fast-moving itinerary
  • Includes a land border crossing from Vietnam into Cambodia
  • The Killing Fields visit is a sobering counterpoint to the rest of the trip
