Mekong: Mekong Delta tour
  • Tip Rating: [Not enough ratings yet]
  • There are tons of tour agencies offering trips to Mekong Delta, and I picked the recommended Sinh Cafe by the other tourists on VirtualTourist.com.

    Whole day trip. Wear something light, and get something to change if you plan to go somewhere else after this trip, coz the trip will make u all sweaty and sticky. :P

    River was yellowish at the time we were there (August 2006). The guide said the river would be clearer at the start of the year.

  • Sinh Cafe's Cu Chi Tunnels tour. Half day trip. Around 2 hrs of bus ride from Sinh Cafe office to Cu Chi Tunnels. Bus is small, and if u have long legs, good luck to you. At Cu Chu Tunnels, u will get to see... err... tunnels (what else??), bobby traps, war-related stuff and so on.

    Mekong: Boat rides... big, medium and small boats
  • Tip Rating: [Not enough ratings yet]
  • In the Mekong Delta tour, u get to switch from a big boat (seating capacity of over 20), to a medium boat (seating capacity of 8), and then to a small boat (seating capacity of 4 person ONLY)... and then the reverse on your way back to mainland.
