One of the best trips I’ve ever taken. From start to finish, Vietnam is a magical place to visit. The people are so friendly and happy to share their country, culture, food and are sooo kind.
Mekong Delta
Mekong Delta Trips
The Mekong Delta is a fertile web of canals and rivers interspersed by villages and towns. Life here revolves around the waterways: daily floating markets bring people together to buy and sell fish, fruit, vegetables and anything else that can be peddled.
Many of our small-group adventures to Vietnam include Mekong Delta trips. Board a boat to experience the waterways up close, passing orchards and interacting with the welcoming local people who ply their trade in various cottage industries, such as rice paper and coconut candy. Also enjoy Delta hospitality with a night in a guesthouse, sleeping by the waters and trying the local specialities.

Michael Downey Vietnam Adventure
Christopher Mather Cycle Indochina & AngkorThis was a good adventure through three countries, Thailand, Cambodia and Vietnam. Starting with Thailand, the first day’s cycling had a mix of temples to see as well as cycling but I felt that day 2 and 3 we were just cycling to get out of Thailand with not much to see and was a bit boring. Cambodia was amazing with not just the amazing Angkor complex, but also the more sombre sights of Phnom Penh, S-21 and the Killing Fields, where our local guide’s personal stories really made you think. Vietnam was different again, with much better scenery for cycling and a lovely stay in the Mekong Delta. Saigon, you are left to explore on your own. I visited the War Remnants museum and the Independence Palace, which both were an interesting visit. The local teams who organised the cycling, were well organised with a special shout out to the Vietnam team, though their roads were the bumpiest.
