My Trip

1.5–2 hours south of Saigon, the Mekong Delta of nine river branches. Take a boat from the big river to the islands and experience a coconut-candy workshop, a honey farm, rowing a small sampan through narrow canals, and folk music — the classic popular day tour. Bring a hat and water for the hot flatland.
