Choose Between a Day Trip or Multi-Day Journey

Tour information

Best time

The Mekong Delta has a warm, tropical climate with a dry season from December to April and a rainy season from May to November. The dry months offer the most predictable conditions for boat trips, floating markets and village visits, with sunny days and lower humidity. Rainy-season showers are frequent but usually short, and the delta’s landscapes become particularly green after rainfall. Water levels vary by season, influencing the size and timing of certain markets and canals. Most custom itineraries work well year-round, but the dry season provides the easiest planning.
Dietary options

Meals included in a private Mekong Delta tour can be adapted to vegetarian, vegan or allergy-friendly requirements whenever food is part of your itinerary.
Availability

Drivers, guides and boat services in the Mekong Delta depend on availability, especially during weekends and Vietnamese holiday periods.
