Highlights
Catching fish is one of the rustic pleasures of Mekong Delta people. On this journey you don't need to spend too much time — just one day is enough to fully experience all the country joys: visiting lush green orchards, riding a sampan to experience river life, rolling up your sleeves to drain a ditch and catch fish, and more. It all makes for a journey full of fun and delight!
