Most Interesting Mekong Delta Tours and Cruises for 2023-2024

The Mekong Delta is the most populous area of Vietnam, now home to about 18 million people, and considered the "rice basket" of the country. Vietnamese people call it the “Nine Dragons Delta” because the Mekong River divides into two smaller branches when it enters Vietnam, then those two branches divide into nine "mouths" flowing to the East Sea that look like nine dragons on the map.

We went as a group of three friends. The homestay owner was super nice and cooked amazing local food.

Totally recommend for a short trip.

Wonderful Ninh Binh tour

Reviewed by Emily Carter, October 14, 2025
We loved this 2-day Ninh Binh tour! The boat ride through Trang An was peaceful, and the scenery was unreal. The climb to Hang Mua was tough but totally worth it for the view. Our guide was super friendly and made everything easy.

Great mix of nature and culture

Reviewed by Mark Nguyen, September 20, 2025
I joined this Ninh Binh tour by myself and it was better than I expected. The Hang Mua viewpoint is amazing, and Hoa Lu gave a nice look into Vietnam’s history.

Best family trip we had in Vietnam

Reviewed by Laura Kim, September 9, 2025
Our kids loved the boat in Tam Coc and watching the ducks along the river. The place is quiet, clean, and safe for families. The hotel was small but cozy.Great experience overall.

Epic Vietnam adventure

We Just did the “Most Interesting Destinations” tour and bloody hell, what a ripper! Cruising through limestone karsts on Ha Long Bay was unreal. Loved the mix: vibe of Hanoi’s lake, ancient ruins in Hue, then sunsets in Hoi An. Even the free days in Nha Trang were killer-went kayaking and hit a spa; total recharge. SG nightlife in Ho Chi Minh was the cherry on top. We Can’t wait to tell the mates back home!

Aussie Vibes & Vietnamese Highlights

Reviewed by Jay, July 5, 2025
Did this Saigon > Hanoi Heritage trip and I’m buzzing! Highlights? Hoi An’s night markets, Hue’s Perfume River boat ride, and Ha Long Bay at sunrise are up there. Everything was smooth-domestic flights, transfers, hotels-it just flowed, no stress. Guides were chill but super helpful, recommended the best foodie spots and hidden cafes. Definitely a top-notch way to soak up Vietnam's culture, history, and vibes.
