Mekong Delta trips

The real Mekong

"This Mekong Delta tour absolutely blew away any other I've ever done. It wasn't like being a tourist at all; it felt like exploring with an old friend. She whisked me away on her scooter to her favorite street food stalls, the hidden market gems where she gets the freshest produce, and even to some local homes (completely unplanned – they were as surprised as I was!). I could suggest things off the beaten path, and she, with her insider knowledge of the area and language, could make it happen."

Truly local

Intimate

You might catch us strolling around in flip-flops and shorts, keeping things laid-back and down-to-earth, without any fancy introductions or airs about certain topics. Us folks from the Mekong Delta are hospitable souls, eager to show you around and just be ourselves in the process, all easy and chill.

Local

No fancy tourist spots here, no tourist traps either. We'll just stop for some sugarcane juice by the roadside, maybe pluck some coconuts from someone's backyard, wander through the market, or just randomly stop wherever you fancy along the way. Oh, and yeah, we do have homestays and boats ready to accommodate you. You know, that's just how it goes, can't really do without them, right?

Relaxed

After lunch, it's best to take a nap to avoid the heat, and if you're thirsty, just stop for a drink. You're here to have fun, not to meet KPIs. We want to live a relaxed life, and hopefully, you do too. Simple as that.

What our customers said

"I’ve travelled a lot around the world and few things have brought me more happiness in my travels than the row boat from Si’s place (the local guide's home). For me, the peace and dream-like scenery there ravelled the feeling I had being in the Sahara desert. It was magical."
