FAQ
What is the difference between "Authentic Mekong Delta tour" to My Tho and "Discover the Mekong Delta tour" to My Tho?
The Discover the Mekong Delta tour is a popular itinerary that showcases some of the most impressive highlights of the region, and is also an excellent option for those on a budget who wish to experience the Mekong Delta in a single day. However, for a more authentic and off-the-beaten-path adventure, we highly recommend the Authentic Mekong Delta tour. This alternative itinerary offers similar activities but takes place in a more rural and local setting, providing a unique and immersive experience.
What is the best time to visit the Mekong Delta?
The best time to visit the Mekong Delta is from December to May during the dry season. During this time, the weather is generally sunny with low humidity and little rain, making it perfect for outdoor activities such as boat rides and cycling. The temperature is also cooler during this period.
The rainy season in the Mekong Delta is from May to November, with the peak of the rainfall in August and September. While the lush green landscapes during this time can be beautiful, the heavy rains can make traveling less pleasant. The humidity and temperature are also high during this period, which can make it uncomfortable for some visitors.
