Mekong Delta Retreat is a relaxing trip to the less-seen corners of the Mekong Delta in between Vinh Long and Ben Tre provinces for 3 days, 2 nights.

Mekong Delta Family Adventure Holiday Overview

While your time here is generally relaxing, the relaxation is certainly different from a beach vacation. You may want to troll by yourself on a quiet village road, or cycle amid coconut forests, or go fishing, taking part in daily activities with locals in preparing food, in harvesting sedge.... At night, you may want to chat with villagers over hot tea, or enjoy a traditional music performance...

Accommodation is at a riverside lodge in a coconut forest. Your food here is no short of sensational. The retreat is a great time for couples as well as family with kids and senior travelers.
