Explore the Mekong Delta's maze of lakes and rivers with this luxury boat trip. Sail the winding waterways and sample a slice of traditional Vietnamese life. There's shore stops to visit a bustling market, take a tuk-tuk cycling tour, try local food and more. Top it all with a seven-course lunch and it's one action-packed morning.
Cast off from Tan Cang pier and the adventure begins as we glide downstream towards Long An local market. Wandering rows of colourful stalls, bulging with produce, you can sample fresh fruit from the region, traditional honey tea or even a shot of snake wine – grain alcohol infused with a serpent.
Elsewhere on the tour, there's a chance to experience a fascinating folk music performance of Don Cai Tai Tu – recently listed by UNESCO as an intangible cultural heritage of the world – and enjoy a tuk-tuk cycle ride through a rural village. You'll also see how coconut candy is made before sailing to Ben Tre island to round off with a sumptuous seven-course lunch.
