Earth and Water 

Mekong Cruise - Mekong Luxury Cruise - Mekong river Cruise. In Vietnamese, you refer to the land of Vietnam as "Đất Nước Việt Nam", litterally "Vietnam's Land and Water", which does evoke the major role that the river and its delta play in everyday life. Mekong Cruise

Fantastic Mékong 
The Delta shows varied landscapes: from rice fields to shaded coconut tree woods, to mangrove, to orchards, interspersed with timeless villages with their handicraft and even traditional industries of fruit drying, sugar cane processing, brick cooking... Mekong Cruise

Natural extension of the Mekong basin, the Delta is essentially made of the silt drained by the river. The Mekong may carry up to a few kilograms of dry earth per cubic meter of water during the periods of high waters, that go and fertilize the whole delat area. Mekong Cruise
The flow of the Mekong inverts back all the way up to Cambodia with the tide, hinting at a very flat slope. One may thus figure out the formidable volume of water in the Mekong, whose peak flow reaches 150,000 tons of water per second.  The evaporation of the river and flooded areas, as well as the lush vegetation, have a noticeable effect on the climate of the Delta,

which is especially nice. The temperature in the Delta is always a few degrees less than in Ho Chi Minh city, although the city is very near. Mekong Cruise

Rural life
Far from the pace of the city, the rhythm of life is that of a rich and bountiful nature, and even if fieldwork is hard work, it is gratifying labour, as both earth and water bring into the peasant's basket rice and fruit, fish and shrimps.  It is a hard life, lived by the peasants, but also a quality life, all made of attention and care for the fields, the stock and the village community. The animals are well treated, and often will one see stables covered with a mosquito net.  Mekong Cruise
The same is true of the warmth of the welcome. In the Delta, you will often be invited for some tea or even for some fruit by the peasants.

Vietnam's rice basket 
The Mekong Delta is the most ecologically productive land in Vietnam. Half of the rice of the country is produced in the Delta in three crops per year, as well as hundreds of thousands of tons of catfish, sugar cane, fruit and vegetables.  This formidable production —Vietnam is the second largest rice exporter in the world— is still today mainly made by hand, according to traditional techniques.  Life in the delta is still rhythme  by nature. Mekong Cruise

The Mekong delta  is always impressive with the natural scenery and lovely people that can only be fully discovered when traveling from place to place at a nice, slow pace. In the Mekong Delta, you can do sightseeing the waterway regions, visit old pagodas, orchards, family –run factories and interact with humble people. In addition, you can try authentic foods and listen to Southern Vietnam traditional music of Don Ca Tai Tu. Mekong Cruise
With Mekong Delta Exploration, you also can make an extension tour to Cambodia via Chau Doc by boat.

Mekong Delta Travel Guide
Being a very rich, beautiful and lush area, Mekong Delta is the southern most region of Vietnam end of the Mekong River. It splits in Cambodia into two main rivers, the Bassac (Hau Giang) and the Upper River (Tien Giang), then in Vietnam into a more complex system, creating a maze of small canals, rivers and arroyos interspersed with villages and floating markets. Life in the Mekong Delta revolves much around the river and boats are still the main means of transport to access villages. Mekong Cruise
What to do?
Highlights of journeys to Mekong Delta are boat trips through canals, floating markets, exploring the local daily life by staying overnight on islands and visiting family run factories; not less interesting, tasting local specialities. The most renowned places in the Mekong Delta are My Tho, Vinh Long, Can Tho and Chau Doc. This is also a natural passageway from southern Vietnam to Cambodia either by road or by river.
When to go? 
Trips to Mekong Delta are suitable all year round but the best time is the monsoon from June to September.
Travel Tips: 
If time allowed, Cai Rang floating market is really worth visiting on your way to explore the Mekong Delta. Almost floating markets start in the very early morning and finish before noon. Thus, to catch the liveliest and busiest scenery, you should plan to stay one night in Can Tho. 

Wherever you go in the delta (except for My Tho), be prepared for ferry crossings which may take you few hours.
