Day 01 : Ho Chi Minh City - My Tho - Can Tho - Mekong Delta (L,D)
Our tour guide picks you up from your hotel in HCMC by mini-van to transfer you to the Mekong Delta. The Mekong Delta is formed by nine tributaries of the Mekong River and is often referred as the ‘rice bowl’ or the ‘garden from heaven’ of Vietnam. Because the soil is very rich you will find here countless green rice paddies and dozens of tropical fruits, which only grow in this certain area. A visit to this region allows us to explore the ‘life on the water’ of the local people. Because of periodical
floods the local people adapted their lives to he water. Experience their floating houses, floating schools, floating mini-supermarkets and even their complete floating markets! You will be overwhelmed by the wet rice civilization. Afterwards we drive to My Tho to come aboard of our private boat which sails us to Dragon Island. Here you will have the opportunity to taste some typical tropical fruit, which are nowhere else to be found in the country.
