Ben Tre is the best option for a day trip to the Mekong Delta from Saigon since it is only around 2 hours away, and 15 minutes from My Tho. However, this wonderful destination retains an authenticity which has been somewhat lessened in nearby My Tho.
This picturesque and friendly Mekong Delta town has historically seen very few travellers, but the recent opening of a bridge connecting Ben Tre and My Tho has made it far easier for day trippers to visit from Saigon.
Our "Mekong Delta In A Day" cruise excursion starts at 8:00 am from the lobby of your hotel in Saigon with a drive to Ben Tre. While there, you can take a walk along the waterfront lined with French era shops and houses, and you'll see plenty of coconuts being unloaded from boats for dispatch around the country.
