🤔 If you’re looking for a 1-day tour in the Mekong Delta, think again!

❌ A typical 1-day tour to the Mekong from Saigon often starts at 8 am and returns by 3 pm, giving you a small glimpse of this vibrant region in touristy areas only. Is that really the authentic Delta experience you’d want your kids to remember?

🤩 Here are 5 solid reasons why you should spend in the Mekong Delta overnight:

🌅 Catch a Glimpse of Sunrise & Sunset
The Delta’s sunrises and sunsets are simply magical. These moments are a huge part of what makes the Mekong special and unforgettable.

🍲 Share Cozy Dinners with Local Hosts
Having homecooked meals is a must, and you can even learn to cook! Dinner is when connections are made, stories are shared, and the spirit of the Delta truly comes alive.

🚲 Cycle in the morning, peacefully
Cycle at your own pace in the early hours, discover local families at work, through plenty of fruit gardens, and the hidden charms of the Delta’s peaceful backroads.

🍜 Discover More Local Flavors
An overnight stay gives you more time to truly indulge in the Delta’s food culture with lots of delicious dishes, far from what you can imagine!

💤 Take it Slow, Enjoy More, and Avoid Exhaustion
No one wants to tire themselves 5 hours in a car (round-trip) for just a few hours of sightseeing, right? An overnight stay lets you slow down, connect, and enjoy the Delta without the rush, creating unforgettable memories that your family will treasure.

😍 Don’t miss the chance to experience the Mekong as it was meant to be seen. Let our local expert show you the real Mekong charm, family-friendly adventures, and authentic connections
that will stay with you long after you leave.

📩 Message us now to start planning your unforgettable family adventure in the Mekong Delta quickly & easily. And don’t forget our limited offer for Family Weekend Getaway in the Mekong, ONLY THIS MONTH! 🎁✨

Beautiful Bahnar ethnic people in Kon Tum 🇻🇳

It were only the first two days and we met a lot of inspiring people from all walks of life.

The more adventures we’ve been on, the more we’re excited for the people we’ll get to meet, rather than the destination itself.

The cultural identity of Bahnar people isn’t just based on their traditional clothing, language or cuisine.

There’s so much more that we can’t wait to tell you.
