Mekong Waterways: (3 Days)
                     <Tour code: EVM 10>


Ho Chi Minh City - Long Xuyen - Chau Doc - Can Tho - Ho Chi Minh City

Three days on the complex maze of the Mekong Delta is hardly enough for some people, but this tour gives a taste of life on the mighty Mekong River and its' tributaries. You will be taken on a trip along the myriad of canals and tributaries to get more in depth view of life in the Delta. Gliding on the bustling waterways we enjoy the opportunity to interact with the local people at floating markets, eat tropical fruits in lush orchards, look into the art of Bonsai and have tea in a typical boathouse.
