Vietnam Southern Serenity 5 Days in Ho Chi Minh & Mekong Delta - Floating market

Start & end in Ho Chi Minh City 5 days Up to 12

About this trip

Five days in the south of Vietnam, split between the energy of Ho Chi Minh City and the slow rhythm of the Mekong Delta. You get a solid dose of history and culture without rushing through it.

In the city you walk streets lined with French colonial buildings and go underground at the Cu Chi tunnels, learning how the Viet Cong lived and fought there. Then it's out to the Delta for a change of pace — rice fields, waterways, and small-scale local life.

Expect boat rides, a local music performance, and hands-on moments like watching coconut candy being made, alongside plenty of seasonal fruit and homemade food along the way.

  • Descend into the Cu Chi underground tunnels
