Things to do in My Tho

Top experiences to expect through the year

My Tho’s activity scene is dominated by tours — boat and river excursions and guided day trips — and that pattern shapes the year. Bookings build into a clear peak in March, dip through September, then pick up again towards the end of the year.

Which activities suit different travellers

Families will find tours easy and accessible: group-friendly boat trips and short guided excursions work well for kids and multigenerational groups. Couples can lean on scenic and cultural tours for relaxed, photo-friendly days together. Solo travellers and small groups will also find tours the simplest option here, since they offer easy ways to join others and see the main river highlights without fuss.

What travellers from Australia should book in advance

Most visitors keep plans flexible in My Tho — with a typical booking window of around four days, many activities can be picked up a day or two before travel. That said, the earliest planners still tend to book around two to three weeks ahead, and that extra lead time is most useful in the busy March period when demand is highest.

How categories compare on price and who they suit

All available options are listed under tours, which also represents the most affordable entry point and the category with the widest range of choices. That spread means you can find simple, budget-friendly excursions as well as slightly more premium guided experiences without changing category. Tours therefore suit virtually every traveller type here — families, couples and solo explorers — and are the easiest way into My Tho’s river and cultural highlights.
