Luxury Mekong Delta Travel

A sampan—a traditional flat-bottomed wooden boat—meandering through the waterways of the Mekong Delta’s technicolor floating markets might be the most iconic image of Vietnam. Rightly so, a visit here is an essential part of travel to Vietnam. You’ll embark on a boat tour to explore the most famous of these markets, Cai Rang, where you’ll glide through the canals and taste sun-warmed local fruit while watching local life play out. 

The Mekong Delta is much more than its floating markets, though, and you can hop on a bike to cruise past small villages and orchards, stopping to have lunch with a local family, and also explore smaller fishing villages. Floating down the Mekong Delta is a quintessential experience too. Board your boat, the Cai Be Princess Sampan, in Ho Chi Minh City, and sail to Vinh Long, taking in life along the Delta and visiting local cottage industries along the way. In Vinh Long, a private transfer will take you to your sleek, serene home in the Delta: Legacy Mekong Can Tho.
