Most Interesting Mekong Delta Tours and Cruises for 2023-2024

The Mekong Delta is the most populous area of Vietnam, now home to about 18 million people, and considered the "rice basket" of the country. Vietnamese people call it the “Nine Dragons Delta” because the Mekong River divides into two smaller branches when it enters Vietnam, then those two branches divide into nine "mouths" flowing to the East Sea that look like nine dragons on the map.

Epic Vietnam adventure

We Just did the “Most Interesting Destinations” tour and bloody hell, what a ripper! Cruising through limestone karsts on Ha Long Bay was unreal. Loved the mix: vibe of Hanoi’s lake, ancient ruins in Hue, then sunsets in Hoi An. Even the free days in Nha Trang were killer-went kayaking and hit a spa; total recharge. SG nightlife in Ho Chi Minh was the cherry on top. We Can’t wait to tell the mates back home!

Aussie Vibes & Vietnamese Highlights

Did this Saigon > Hanoi Heritage trip and I’m buzzing! Highlights? Hoi An’s night markets, Hue’s Perfume River boat ride, and Ha Long Bay at sunrise are up there. Everything was smooth-domestic flights, transfers, hotels-it just flowed, no stress. Guides were chill but super helpful, recommended the best foodie spots and hidden cafes. Definitely a top-notch way to soak up Vietnam's culture, history, and vibes.

Loved Our Vietnam Trip

We did the Vietnam Classic Tour with Vietnam Paradise Travel in June, and it was one of our best trips. Starting in lively Hanoi and cruising through stunning Ha Long Bay, we then explored Hue, Hoi An, Ho Chi Minh City, and the Mekong Delta, ending with a relaxing stay on Phu Quoc Island. Everything was well-organized yet flexible, with friendly guides and comfortable hotels. We didn’t have to worry about a thing-just enjoy the experience. This tour is a great way to see a lot of Vietnam without feeling overwhelmed.

French Foodie Meets Culture

Reviewed by Camille, April 10, 2025
Bonjour! I did the Uniquely Vietnam Culture Tour and was blown away by the food and culture combo. From slurping pho in street food stalls to cruising in traditional sampans at Ninh Binh, it was the perfect mix of tastes and scenery. The guides were super friendly and showed us authentic craft villages like Kim Bong near Hoi An-seriously cool woodworking stuff. The pace was relaxed but packed, and I loved chatting with locals over coconut candy and coffee. A vraiment top experience, I’d totally do it again!

Laid-back Aussie Review

Reviewed by Elijah, April 2, 2025
Just wrapped up this tour with Vietnam Paradise Travel and I'm still buzzing! The Mekong Delta day blew my mind-boat rides, fresh fruit tasting, local crafts-all super family-friendly. The pace was chill, never rushed, and our little ones stayed engaged the whole time. Big shoutout to our guide from Vietnam Paradise Travel for being laid‑back and fun-felt like travelling with mates. Would totally do it again!
