A Day Trip to the Mekong Delta

Day 11 · 2 December 2024

Leaving the traffic and high-rise buildings of Ho Chi Minh City behind, we spent the day exploring the waterways and villages of the Mekong Delta.

Fishing boats moored along the Mekong, a reminder of the river’s importance to everyday life in southern Vietnam.

We left Ho Chi Minh City behind for a very different side of southern Vietnam, travelling out into the Mekong Delta for a day on the water. Much of the trip was spent moving between rivers, canals and small settlements, giving us a glimpse of everyday life in a landscape shaped by the Mekong and its network of waterways.
