Mekong Delta by Speedboat
Mix high-speed boating with absorbing the sleepy Mekong delta. This is a brilliant experience for travellers not wanting to invest in a full on Mekong cruise, but want to sample life on Vietnam’s most important river.
Combining canal exploration with meandering down green tributaries, you’ll visit local river-side markets full of locally grown fruit and vegetables.
You can discover old Buddhist temples on the banks of the Mekong and gain insight into old traditional craftsmanship such as brick making. Get stuck in with the Vietnamese and learn how to weave in an expertly lead workshop.
The experience is interspersed with fantastic lunches on floating restaurants and an overnight stay is included in the boutique property The Island Lodge.
