What to Expect

Journey into the local life of the Mekong Delta

Your adventure begins with a Vespa pick-up from your hotel in Saigon, whisking you away from the city’s bustling streets to the tranquil landscapes of the Mekong Delta. As you ride through narrow lanes and village roads, you’ll witness a stark contrast between the energy of Saigon and the peaceful charm of the Delta’s riverside communities.

Throughout the journey, you’ll cross bridges spanning the Mekong’s many tributaries, offering spectacular views of the lush surroundings. A local ferry ride provides a glimpse into the everyday lives of the people who depend on these waterways for transport and trade.


Cultural Immersion & Local Traditions

A stop at a bustling riverside market allows you to experience the Mekong’s vibrant commercial life. Browse colorful stalls, interact with friendly vendors, and observe how local cottage industries thrive in this region. You’ll witness the traditional art of incense making and learn about rice wine production, two integral crafts of Mekong culture.

As you explore these hidden corners, there will be plenty of opportunities to snap incredible photos or simply soak in the authentic atmosphere of rural Vietnam.


Culinary Delights & Mekong Flavors

After a morning of exploration, indulge in an authentic Mekong Delta meal at a local restaurant. Savor regional specialties, carefully prepared using fresh, locally sourced ingredients. Pair your meal with a refreshing cold beer, enjoying the laid-back, riverside ambiance.


Return to Saigon in Style

With the day winding down, hop back on your Vespa for a scenic ride back to Saigon. As you retrace your path through the Delta’s picturesque countryside, take one last moment to appreciate the serenity and timeless beauty of this incredible region.
