1. A must-do tour away from tourists!
Tripadvisor review: Mekong Zig Zag Full day: Scooter, Sailboat, Food (HCM-BenTre)
We just had the most amazing day touring the Mekong Delta area with Phu Si as our guide. We were so lucky to have picked this tour as we got so much more than we realised. From the pick up and travel to the Mekong from Ho Chi Minh it was welcoming and we were well looked after. We had a tuk tuk tour of the area and Phu Si made us all feel welcome and informed all the way. It was so wonderful to travel through the area away from tourists and interact with the locals. From riding in the tuk tuk on roads, paths, and crossing on ferries, to traveling down the river on the boat to see the canals and areas not seen on a tourist tour, this was a great way to see the Mekong Delta!
But I must mention the food. We were so well fed with fresh, locally cooked meals throughout the day that we won't be needing dinner! We sampled local dishes—make sure you try everything, as you may miss out on something amazing. Don't forget to have the sugarcane juice; it's so refreshing and just at the right time.
I want to say thank you to Phu Si and our tuk tuk driver as you made our day and trip to the Mekong Delta area so unique and amazing for us.
2. Great way to learn about the local way of living
Tripadvisor review: Ben Tre Half Day Tour with Scooter and Sailboat and Mekong Food
We did the half day trip with An this morning and it was really nice. An speaks English really well, is friendly, and taught us a lot about the local culture. She even took a lot of pictures of us without us asking. My boyfriend and I really enjoyed this trip 😘❤️❤️
3. Amazing cooking class with An
Tripadvisor review: Cooking class & Vibrant Mekong Market by Scooter (Half-Day)
We booked a cooking class with An and it was the best! She took us to a local market, gave us a list of ingredients, and helped us buy everything we needed and more. We also had a delicious breakfast and a snack with her, always at local places. Then we returned to the homestay and learned how to cook a fantastic Vietnamese lunch. I would totally recommend this experience to everyone! An is the sweetest, very passionate about her job, and will answer every question. We will definitely do it again when we return to Ben Tre.
4. Ben Tre Half Day Tour with Scooter and Sailboat and Mekong Food
Tripadvisor review
Excursion réalisée avec Chi et trois de ses collègues qui sont venus nous chercher à notre hôtel. Ils nous ont baladé en scooter à travers les différents marchés de Ben Tre. Surprenant pour des Européens, mais normal pour les locaux. Nous n'étions que quatre, cela nous a permis d'avoir toute l'attention pour répondre à nos questions.
Visite et ramassage de noix de coco.
Balade sur des affluents du Mékong où l'on a croisé seulement quelques bateaux de locaux. Les enfants ont même pu piloter l'embarcation.
Repas dans sa famille qui tient une confiserie de bonbons à la noix de coco et un homestay. Encore une fois, loin des routes touristiques principales.
Bref, super moment authentique où tout s'enchaîne naturellement sans être chronométré ni pressé.
5. Best experience in Vietnam
Tripadvisor review: Ben Tre Mekong Zig Zag: Scooter, Sailboat, and Food (Full day)
The guide was very kind and professional. This is not a touristy tour—it’s perfect if you want to live a real, true experience. You can feel firsthand how people live here, try local food, see how they work, and truly understand their lifestyle. 10/10, just because we can’t give more!
6. Exceptional experience!
Tripadvisor review: Mekong relaxing boat cruise through quiet canal (1.5HRS)
We had an exceptional experience on our private Mekong River tour. The highlight was our host, who was truly outstanding—knowledgeable, attentive, and incredibly friendly. Their passion for the region made the journey unforgettable. We're immensely grateful for this memorable adventure, perfect for a romantic getaway. Highly recommend this tour for anyone looking to explore the Mekong in a unique and personal way.
7. All of Ben Tre in one tour!
Tripadvisor review: Ben Tre Half Day Tour with Scooter and Sailboat and Mekong Food
What a fun trip with Chi! Truly a local experience. The boat cruise was absolutely stunning, and we were the only ones out there. Many cool stops, and even some impromptu ones! We sang karaoke and drank/ate with some locals. They are happy to shape the experience around what you’re looking for. Thank you so much!
8. The Authentic Mekong Delta Experience
Viator review: Mekong Zig Zag Full day: Scooter, Sailboat, Food (HCM-BenTre)
What an authentic experience! Away from the touristic crowds, we had an amazing day with Chi! We met her family, had a wonderful home-cooked meal, and drove a scooter through the jungle and into a local market—a pretty wild experience! Wouldn’t miss it!
WhatsApp contact right away, and she was very much available for everything we needed.
Thank you, Chi! You’re amazing!
9. Un trip unique fantastique dans le delta du Mékong.
Tripadvisor review: Ben Tre Mekong Zig Zag: Scooter, Sailboat, and Food (Full day)
Nous avons passé une journée incroyable. L’organisation était parfaite ! Nous avons découvert les alentours en scooters, conduits prudemment par An et Aï. La guide An a été très efficace et charmante. Ensuite, nous avons navigué en jonque sur un bras du Mékong : un paysage fantastique, les palmiers d’eau, les plantes flottantes. C’était vraiment une expérience unique de pouvoir découvrir le delta du Mékong dans ces conditions uniques. Encore merci à An, Lhin, Aï et son ami. 👍❤️🎥❤️❤️
10. Incanto sul delta del Mekong
Tripadvisor review: Ben Tre Mekong Zig Zag: Scooter, Sailboat, and Food (Full day)
La giornata è stata tra le più belle trascorse in Vietnam. La zona del delta del Mekong è una vera chicca e la nostra guida ha una familiarità con il posto che ha fatto la differenza. Lei, nata e cresciuta qui, ci ha condotto alla scoperta di tutte le attività principali che svolge la gente del luogo. La lavorazione del cocco, la pesca, e tanto altro! È stato un tour molto denso e ricco di esperienze che porterò nel cuore, come la traversata sul fiume con la zattera fornita da loro e la scoperta dei prodotti locali. Ho anche aperto da sola un cocco di mare! Che cos'è? Lo scoprirete durante il tour 😉. Ho apprezzato tantissimo le fermate spontanee che ci hanno dato modo di apprezzare, per esempio, la raccolta della canna da zucchero, altra attività diffusissima nella zona. Ci siamo molto divertiti e goduto la giornata al meglio che potessimo. Abbiamo pranzato nella residenza dove alloggiavamo ed è stato il pranzo più buono della mia permanenza in Vietnam fino ad ora. Una vera festa di sapori. Li amo troppo ❤️, mi mancheranno tutti, la nostra guida era troppo gentile e simpatica.
11. Excellent tour with a dive into local culture
Tripadvisor review: Ben Tre Half Day Tour with Scooter and Sailboat and Mekong Food
Our experience was truly unforgettable. We had the opportunity to deeply dive into the local culture, and the approach taken was incredibly warm and genuine—quite different from other tourist destinations. We were especially fortunate to have Chi as our guide, who made the trip even more special with their knowledge and kindness. Highly recommend this experience!
12. Pulito semplice, ma molto confortevole
Tripadvisor review: Ben Tre Half Day Tour with Scooter and Sailboat and Mekong Food
Tutti qui sono molto carini e disponibili, abbiamo scelto di fare un tour di mezza giornata con lo scooter e la guida 🥰. Abbiamo scorrazzato per i villaggi che circondano la loro zona, abbiamo navigato sul fiume e mangiato pomelo, bevuto smoothie fatto con zucchero di canna e agrumi freschi. La nostra fantastica guida ci ha portato al mercato locale dove abbiamo potuto apprezzare frutta e verdura a noi sconosciuta. L’homestay è isolata dal resto della città, circondata da canali e palme da cocco. Il cibo è semplice, ma molto buono e cucinato al momento.
13. Such a beautiful day
Tripadvisor review: Ben Tre Mekong Zig Zag: Scooter, Sailboat, and Food (Full day)
An amazing day full of beautiful surprises. We had the occasion to spend amazing moments with locals, and driving around this beautiful nature with the scooters made the journey wonderful. Our guide Chi made the day even better with her smile, her kindness, and her explanations.
14. Ottima escursione sul delta del Mekong e non solo
Tripadvisor review: Ben Tre Mekong Zig Zag: Scooter, Sailboat, and Food (Full day)
L’esperienza è stata davvero particolare. Per chi ha trascorso qualche giorno o settimana in Vietnam, con questa esperienza può assaporare un po’ della cultura locale al di fuori delle classiche attività per turisti. Noi abbiamo trascorso una giornata con An, che ci ha accompagnati in diversi luoghi del delta del Mekong (località Ben Tre), dove abbiamo visto comunità locali, navigato in diversi rami del Mekong, e visitato coltivazioni di cocco e mercati locali. Abbiamo pranzato ottimamente in una guesthouse in mezzo alla foresta, dove abbiamo anche riposato sulle amache (necessario!). Avevamo a nostra disposizione uno scooter con cui ci spostavamo da un luogo all’altro in totale sicurezza. An è stata sempre molto disponibile e gentile, sempre attenta a che non mancasse nulla e rispondendo alle nostre infinite domande.
15. Eccezionale!
Tripadvisor review: Ben Tre Mekong Zig Zag: Scooter, Sailboat, and Food (Full day)
An è stata una guida eccezionale e il tour è stato super interessante, pieno di attività nei villaggi locali. La crociera sul Mekong è stata uno dei punti forti, con panorami stupendi e incredibili. Pranzo superlativo. Esperienza davvero consigliata al posto dei soliti tour che propongono giri super turistici.
16. Unforgettable Mekong Adventure
Tripadvisor review: Ben Tre Mekong Zig Zag: Scooter, Sailboat, and Food (Full day)
Our day with this tour was simply outstanding. Our guide, An, was incredibly knowledgeable and friendly, making the experience truly special. We explored the backroads on scooters, took a scenic boat ride on the Mekong, and indulged in delicious local cuisine. The highlight was definitely the interaction with local villagers and getting a glimpse into their daily lives. This tour offers a genuine Mekong Delta experience, far removed from typical tourist routes. We highly recommend this tour to anyone looking to discover the true beauty of the Mekong region.

31. Good introduction to Ben Tre
Tripadvisor review: Mekong Zig Zag Full day: Scooter, Sailboat, Food (HCM-BenTre)
Really good day. An excellent opportunity to experience local life in Ben Tre/Mekong Delta. The owner - Zen - was our guide for the day, and his enthusiasm for his home and his tour was amazing. Got to see the area and enjoy tastes of the local cuisine. The sweets were delicious. The highlight was the sailboat on the backwaters of the Delta. Calming, quiet atmosphere … a moment to remember.
Note: Realistically, the 12-hour day was made up of 6 hours of travel to and from Saigon.

32. Best place to experience Mekong Delta
Tripadvisor review: Mekong ZigZag - Ben Tre
Zigzag is the best place for us to recover from jet lag. We experienced so much of the local life in such a short period: food, life on the Mekong River, and steering the boat. Thanks, Mr. Dzung and the team, for the amazing hospitality. It's 10/10.
33. Unique and local tour
Tripadvisor review: Mekong Zig Zag Full day: Scooter, Sailboat, Food (HCM-BenTre)
We did the Mekong tour today and it was fantastic! The tour was very small (3 persons) and very unique. We met a lot of locals, and the tour guide was very friendly and spoke perfect English. The boat tour on the Mekong River was the highlight.
34. Fabulous tour in Ben Tre!
Tripadvisor review: Ben Tre Mekong Zig Zag: Scooter, Sailboat, and Food (Full day)
We did two tours in Ben Tre, and Mekong Zig Zag was by far the best! We saw so much of the local life in Ben Tre, zooming around on motorcycles. It was hot, but the motorcycles made touring around much more comfortable. Our guide A was fabulous and navigated the tiny roads effortlessly.
Lunch was at the Ba Damh Homestay, and it was fabulous. (We booked to also stay overnight at the homestay, and it is such a beautiful place.)
Honestly, the sailboat experience was spectacular—the river they took us on was beyond stunning. The sailboat was so comfy with the bean bag chairs. This tour was 10/10 for us. Thank you, An!
35. Great unique experience!
Tripadvisor review: Ben Tre Half Day Tour with Scooter and Sailboat and Mekong Food
We booked our half-day tour the night before and got an instant reply. An was our guide—my mom and I had her all to ourselves. :)
She showed us a coconut farm, and we had an authentic lunch with an amazing view. We rode the scooter through the Mekong village, and the highlight was the private boat tour at the end of the day through a small Mekong River with a jungle feel.
10/10—can only recommend!
36. Unique and wonderful tour
Tripadvisor review: Ben Tre Half Day Tour with Scooter and Sailboat and Mekong Food
Highlight of our trip so far. The wonderful boat trip down a quiet and beautiful section of the river was a real privilege. Riding scooters was awesome. I loved being able to ride my own, and my son and wife really enjoyed it as well as pillions to some friendly and careful riders. Snacks and drinks were a yummy bonus. 100% recommend!
37. An unforgettable cultural immersion in the Mekong Delta
Tripadvisor review: Mekong Zig Zag Full day: Scooter, Sailboat, Food (HCM-BenTre)
Our day trip to Ben Tre with Mekong Zigzag Tours was an unforgettable experience. It was a perfect blend of cultural immersion, hands-on activities, and learning about the local way of life. Riding scooters through the countryside and visiting the local market was a great way to see the scenery and interact with the locals. We also enjoyed a leisurely boat ride on the Mekong River and learned about the coconut industry in Vietnam.
I highly recommend this tour to anyone looking for an authentic and immersive experience of Vietnamese culture. Mekong Zigzag Tours went above and beyond to make sure we had a memorable day.
38. An unforgettable day in the Mekong Delta

39. The best cooking experience ever!
Tripadvisor review: Cooking class & Vibrant Mekong Market by Scooter (Half-Day)
It was the best cooking class ever! We started with a joint breakfast and were transported by scooters to a local market. We had a list of products for our vegan feast and had to do the shopping ourselves—a great experience and a challenge! After that, we were taken to a beautiful local homestay on the outskirts of Ben Tre, where we picked ingredients from the garden and started cooking. The dishes were chosen with our guide, who explained Vietnamese traditions and ingredients throughout the process. The meal was amazing, an authentic Vietnamese cuisine experience. Highly recommend it!
40. Vegan sustainable cooking class
Tripadvisor review: Cooking class & Vibrant Mekong Market by Scooter (Half-Day)
This is my first review on TripAdvisor, but this experience is worth it! We had a food cooking class that was a wonderful experience. From the first minute, we felt like locals, starting with a great breakfast and then shopping at the local market. Cooking at the homestay was incredible, with beautiful scenery and sustainable practices—no plastic bags or straws! We made a fully vegan meal. Thank you for an amazing day, and I wish you the best in growing this beautiful business!
41. Authentic, local, and so much heart & fun

This was the highlight of our trip! We connected with locals, learned about the Mekong Delta, tried local foods, and rode scooters through beautiful landscapes.

43. A MUST DO!

A must-do to learn about this beautiful region and its residents! Zem was a fantastic host, answering all our questions with care and attention. The day was filled with various activities, from scooter rides to a nap in a hammock! Thank you for such a wonderful day—fun, flexible, and educational.
44. Top Notch Tour for an authentic local experience
Tripadvisor review: Ben Tre Mekong Zig Zag: Scooter, Sailboat, and Food (Full day)
If you want an authentic, non-touristy tour with a small group (we were 4), this is it! Linh and Dzung are fluent in English and know everything about Ben Tre. We rode scooters through the Mekong jungle, harvested coconuts, made sugar cane juice, and sailed through narrow canals in an old-fashioned boat. Lunch was delicious with great vegetarian options. Highly recommend this 5/5 tour!
45. An intimate look into life in the Mekong River delta
Tripadvisor review: Mekong Zig Zag Full day: Scooter, Sailboat, Food (HCM-BenTre)
This tour exceeded my expectations. It was an intimate look into life in the Mekong River Delta, free from the usual tourist crowds. We rode motorbikes, had a home-cooked lunch, and floated down the river in a small boat. Our guide, Zee, was incredibly knowledgeable and made the experience even more special. A fantastic, authentic tour—well worth the money!
46. Best Mekong Delta Trip!
Tripadvisor review: Mekong relaxing boat cruise through quiet canal (1.5HRS)
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!
47. Une expérience formidable !
Tripadvisor review: Ben Tre Half Day Tour with Scooter and Sailboat and Mekong Food
C’est une expérience formidable au contact de la population locale, parfaite pour découvrir la vie traditionnelle, la culture du pays et de la région de Ben Tre. Nous étions seules sur le Mekong, c’est un endroit peu touristique, calme et formidable pour profiter de l’endroit en tout intimité. Nous recommandons fortement cette activité, le personnel est d’une gentillesse inégalée !
48. Amazing 1/2 day tour with coconuts of the Mékong Delta
Tripadvisor review: Ben Tre Half Day Tour with Scooter and Sailboat and Mekong Food
It was a really nice half day which starts with a delicious local breakfast. We discovered a lot about coconuts thanks to Thi our amazing guide. The boat tour was just beautiful then we met some welcoming people and it ends perfectly with coconut candies !! I recommand the tour ++++ we had a wonderful time.
49. A lazy river spin
Tripadvisor review: Ben Tre Mekong Zig Zag: Scooter, Sailboat, and Food (Full day)
This trip is absolutely stunning. It doesn't have all of the tourists getting in the way. It's a nice way to spend a day learning about the heritage of the candy that the family makes and the trips up and down the river. The tuk-tuk was a touch bumpy, but I'd prefer it over a moped. All in all an excellent tour and Chi knows her stuff. I cannot recommend this team enough
50. Sabores que te llenan el alma ♥️
Tripadvisor review: Cooking class & Vibrant Mekong Market by Scooter (Half-Day)

En un ambiente totalmente familiar, entre risas, vivimos una auténtica experiencia vietnamita. Gracias!!!
51. Must-do unforgettable experience!
Tripadvisor review: Ben Tre Mekong Zig Zag: Scooter, Sailboat, and Food (Full day)
Being guided around the Mekong with Ann was a truly unforgettable experience.My partner and I selected the private tour which was perfect for us. We mentioned a few foods we’d like to try and Dzung the owner of the business had arranged everything, no detail was missed. Chatting with our guide Ann throughout the day was so insightful and enjoyable. We started the day with a stunning boat ride along the river and were treated to a freshly harvested water coconut. Following our boat ride we rode scooters to a sugarcane store and drank them whilst watching some Karoke. We were then treated to some coconut candy and were taught how they make it. We had a lovely home cooked local lunch which featured some delicious items from the market that we mentioned we’d like to try. For the afternoon we were allocated some down time before venturing to the local city to see the market and enjoy some street food.Could not recommend this tour more, it is a great way to see and enjoy the area and squeeze so much in a day, whilst also being allowed time to relax and soak it it.Dzung and his team are doing a wonderful service and you can tell Dzung has been working in tourism for a long time. If you want to see the Mekong area of Vietnam this is a must-do tour.
52. Fantastic experience thanks to An's kindness
Tripadvisor review: Ben Tre MekongZigZag: Scooter, Sailboat, and Food (Full day)
The day with An has been incredible, a real experience. She is a perfect and very attentive guide. We booked the Ben Tre MekongZigZag tour and discovered that it is totally different from the rest of the tours offered through the Mekong Delta. Upon arrival from Ho Chi Minh by private car (since we were only two people), An and her assistant are waiting for you to take you on their motorbike to have a fresh coconut drink cut by yourself from the coconut tree. Then, there is a mini river trip (spectacular) in a totally different sailboat in which they take other groups of tourists. At the end it is time for the typical local meal (very varied and very tasty). Afterwards, she invites you to try the homemade sugar cane drink and Banh Xeo (savoury crepe filled with shrimp, bean sprouts, vegetables,… accompanied by a fish sauce). She explains a lot of interesting things at each stop. It was a good idea to have this tour with her. We will recommend it to all our friends to visit the Mekong Delta in a totally different way away from the tourist crowds.
53. Private Mekong Delta Tour
Tripadvisor review: Ben Tre Mekong Zig Zag: Scooter, Sailboat, and Food (Full day)
We had a great time on the private tour. We were picked up on time. The car ride was quick. We had a blast riding the motor scooters through the towns and stopping by the beautiful homes throughout the Mekong Delta. The food and home stay were absolutely wonderful. The boat ride on the delta to cap it off with noone else around was the best. We look forward to coming again!
54. The BEST Mekong tour EVER
Tripadvisor review: Ben Tre Mekong Zig Zag: Scooter, Sailboat, and Food (Full day)
Oh my goodness. This tour and our wonderful amazing and perfect guide Chi is the absolute best.This is easily the best tour I’ve ever been on anywhere. Chi and her whole family were so welcoming. We truly felt like part of the family. The entire day was filled with surprise after surprise of the most amazing time. We loved this and we love Chi and her family!We spent the day riding mopeds around Mekong, drinking fresh sugarcane juice, riding the ferry, learning about mat weaving, going to Chi’s family’s house and learning about how they make their amazing coconut candy, they made us the most delicious and beautiful meal, we went on the Mekong river and road a boat and we are now absolutely in love with this place.Would absolutely recommend doing this trip. This is a once in a lifetime opportunity. We love you Chi!!
