Mekong Cruise to Ben Tre

When you’re in Saigon, you should absolutely spend a day floating the Mekong River. We chose Mango Cruises’s Ben Tre tour, which was incredible. The tour focuses on local communities untouched by large-scale commercial tourism. In addition to floating the river, we visited a coconut factory, a rice paper factory, and a brick factory. The trip also includes a delicious lunch. If they’re full, you can also look into Buffalo Tours which offers excellent day trips through Vietnam and has a Mekong Delta option.
