Mekong delta, which yields enough rice to feed the country with a sizable surplus, was formed by sediment deposited by the Mekong. The process continues today, with silt deposits extending the shoreline by as much as 80m per year. The river is so large that it has two daily tides. Lush with rice paddies and fish farms, this delta plain also nourishes the cultivation of sugarcane, fruit, coconut and shrimp. Although the area is primarily rural, it is one of the most densely populated regions in Vietnam and nearly every hectare is intensively farmed.

Full day exploring the Mekong Delta will help you understand more deeply about the people's daily life here. The Mekong Delta is famous for vast green rice fields called ‘The rice basket of Vietnam’ and many fruit orchards where very distinct fruits of the region grow. Beside that, the peaceful villages where residents live on the flat plains near the river and other villagers live in their seemingly floating houses (built on stilts) and a comprehensive network of canals make Mekong Delta a very unique destination in Vietnam.

Walking along the roads between the villages, cycling, kayaking or visiting the villages along the canal, fishing in the pond are some of the unique activities that you will be able to do. Enjoy meals characterized with typical Mekong Delta ingredients from deep fried Giant Gourami fish, Vietnamese spring roll, sweet and sour soup and sweet and sour pork ribs will make you remember about Vietnamese cuisine for a long time to come.
