Mekong Delta Sustainable & Non-Touristy Small-Group Day Tour from Ho Chi Minh City

Leave Ho Chi Minh City’s busy streets behind on a peaceful small-group escape to the real Mekong Delta. After a short drive, arrive in a quiet riverside village where palm-lined canals, rice paddies and markets reveal daily life far from the city. Cruise by private long-tail boat and sampan, visiting a countryside market, rice mill, sticky-rice wine workshop and organic orchard. Meet farmers, try the fun “duck massage,” feed or ride a water buffalo and see how families live from the river. At a garden farmhouse, join a hands-on Vietnamese cooking class before enjoying a fresh home-style lunch. With round-trip transport, English-speaking guide and a focus on community-based tourism, this full-day tour is ideal for travelers seeking an authentic Mekong experience without the crowds.
