    Short but packed with joy

    Booked this on a whim and wow, it turned out to be one of the most relaxing half-day tours I've ever done. Loved the rowboat under the coconut trees—super peaceful. Also, the coconut candy place? YUM. Perfect if you're short on time but still want something authentic

    Peaceful escape from the city

    I joined the tour after a few days in Ho Chi Minh and it was exactly what I needed. The sampan ride was my favorite—no noise, just birds and the sound of water. Our guide was knowledgeable but not overbearing. Highly recommend for those who like slow travel.

    Great value, smooth logistics

    Hotel pickup was on time, everything was well organized. The floating fish farm was interesting, especially seeing how they raise the fish locally. Loved that it was a small group—we didn’t feel rushed or herded.

    Perfect for families

    We took this tour with two kids and they had a blast. They especially enjoyed the boat rides and the coconut candy samples! The Vinh Trang pagoda was beautiful and photogenic. Our guide was kind, patient, and funny.

    A gentle dive into rural Vietnam

    The tour gave me a soft introduction to the Mekong without having to stay overnight. The rowing boat was my favorite part—it felt like gliding through a jungle. The mix of cultural sites, like the pagoda and local workshops, made it feel well-rounded.
