Awesome cultural experience

Brett_B, Mar 2025
Our guides Chau and Quang did everything possible to ensure our comfort, welfare and learning. Chau grew up very close to the farmstay before leaving for the city. It's obvious the Mekong Delta is where he feels at home, he is so knowledgeable and passionate about it. The trip is very comfortable the bikes are high quality and well maintained., the kayaks are sit on top and easy to paddle. The overnight stay is lovely you have your own A/C room with a private bathroom. The host is delightful we felt like we were in her home (which you basically are) We are in our mid 60's and had no trouble with the activities. Don't settle for the one day trip we leant and saw so much more on the second day. Highly recommended.

Homestay in the Mekong - cycling and paddling

Rowena_M, Nov 2024
Wonderful adventure in the Mekong Delta. Paddling whilst the sun rose, cycling through the local area without seeing another tourist all day. Our guide was wonderful. We tried local cuisine. The homestay was excellent with a simple cooking class included. We travelled via private car, bus, taxi, kayak, ferry, push bike and walking.
