  • Ben Tre - Our experienced motorbike drivers, equipped with safety helmets, will pick you up for the tour, ensuring a secure and enjoyable ride through the lush countryside.
  • Nhơn Thạnh - You’ll set off from a small village on the banks of the river and sail along a winding tributary. As you go, you’ll be surrounded by lush green foliage, including coconut palms, and tropical fruit trees. You’ll also feel the gentle ebb and flow of the river as the tide rises and falls.

Along the way, you’ll pass by small, unassuming settlements where locals live a simple life. You might see farmers working in the fields, children playing, or animals grazing.

Best Mekong Delta Trip! - We had some trouble starting the trip because getting there from Ho Chi Ming by Bus early in the morning was a bit stressful. There were little complications about the Pick-Up point. But An and her Family made the best out of it. They were so accommodate! As soon as we met An we had a wonderful time. The boat trip starts at An‘s house. We expected to see this Beautiful side of Mekong Delta with small rivers between palms all around and we werent dissapointed! We got Lucky because despite the Monsun the sun came out. During the trip An served fresh fried bananas and Sweet patatos, which were so tasty! In Addition they picked a water coconut for us to try! All in all the Trip to Mekong Delta was a wonderful experience! Additionally An speaks very good english which was great for us to ask a lot of questions. We highly recommend to Book This Trip if you want to enjoy the Mekong Delta!

Great experience - The view is along the river. Chi, the host, brought banana cakes that her sister had freshly made. It is a great experience which I strongly recommend. Staying at Ba Danh Homestay was such a nice and warm welcome from the entire family and the sweet dogs which keep you company while you relax on the porch. Thank you

Just do it. You’ll have a good time! - I couldn't recommend Mekong ZigZag enough. They're very warm and relaxed and we had a great time. We were 2 adults and 1 child and our guide made it a wonderful experience. He also speaks perfect English. Everything is laid back and we didn't feel rushed at any moment. The route we sailed through was very beautiful and the boat's motor is very quiet which made for a very relaxing trip.
