Is there a way to avoid high charges on a Mekong Delta tour?

Am staying in District 1, Ho Chi Minh City, is there other option than the so expensive USD tours for Mekong Delta?

Thank you.

    Dear Sarah;

    How many days you would likely to spend in Mekong Delta?

    You may make it for a few days. I would suggest 3days would suffice or at least you throw it a couple of days.

    The most economical way is that you take Mailinh Express van which

    depart every 30' from Station in District 6. The fare is around US$5 per person to Caibe, from here you can option to do boat cruise to explore Caibe region - visit old houses, fruit orchards, industrial cottages then move on to the island of Vinhlong where you can have pleasant walk or cycle amongst the lush vegetation. You can either spend the night at

    local home stay in Caibe or in Cu Lao Anbinh.

    The next day explore the lush peninsula then move on to Cantho from Vinhlong.

    While you are in Cantho, visit the Cairang floating market and catch the vibrant waterway.

    Take also the Mai Linh express van from Cantho to Saigon, $10 per person.

    Have fun!

    there's no longer lots to make certain interior the delta, it extremely is a fashion of existence no longer a motel area. once you're adventurous you are able to take a bus or water taxi to My Tho (close to the place we are residing) or Can Tho. From the two of those cities, you are able to undertaking out and spend an afternoon interior the rustic. many of the vacationers that i've got come for the era of purchase excursions alongside the My Tho waterfront. you're taking a ship around the river, then spend an afternoon cycling, ingesting at a interior of sight eating place, procuring souvenirs and doing different issues that are geared in the direction of vacationers. The nation-state is extremely captivating, quite in case you have some months (or years) to get to comprehend the area. playstation , once you're making it to Thanh Pho Ben Tre, stay a nighttime at my pal Ken's hotel. it somewhat is observed as Kiwi Heaven and it somewhat is around the river from Cho Ben Tre. it extremely is a sprint perplexing to get to via foot, they are rebuilding the bridge, yet you will get somebody to moto-taxi you there for a greenback or much less. he's an ex-pat from New Zealand and he's been on the city for awhile. he will set up a real excursion of the area for you, no longer some tourist delusion. Have a stable trip the place-ever you finally end up.

    Go next winter/spring and email me before you leave. I'll take you and your friends out on the boat with my family. You can buy the gas and chip in for lunch.
