Intrepid Adventures: Mekong Delta Tour - simply amazing!
Ellen B, Mar 2025
Intrepid Adventures - We had a fantastic day out at the Mekong Delta with our tour guide Tan Li. We toured down the Mekong river, visited 3 islands, ate fresh fruit and had a wonderful authentic lunch (catered for vegetarians very well). We then hopped into a kayak and was paddled through the mangroves - what a wonderful experience. Tan our guide was knowledgeable, kind and very good fun! We had an amazing day. Would highly recommend.

The tour was worth it. I learned a lot about Vietnam’s history and culture. Our tour guide Phong was so good, aside from being handsome, he’s informative.
Fun in the Mekong Delta
R76OTmarkb, Mar 2025
Really enjoyed our trip. We live in Ho Chi Minh City and had some friends from the US visiting and wanted to show them a true Vietnam experience. This tour was more than we expected. Our guide, Thanh, was very knowledgeable, friendly, had great stories about Vietnam and the sites we visited. History and language lessons were very informative. The Chu Phat Danh Ton Temple with the Standing Buddha, Sitting Buddha and Sleeping Buddha is impressive, great first stop. The lunch with the "Elephant Fish" was fun and tasty. Always love a good boat ride! Nice sized group, not too large yet fun to meet new people from other parts of the world. Highly recommend this tour!
