Vietnam Open Tour News & EventsWeekend cruising in the Mekong Delta |
Foreigners cycle in the Mekong Delta on a Terravede weekend cruise tour. Conveniently embarking at Saigon’s Bach Dang Pier and cruising towards the lush Mekong Delta via Cho Gao canal, guests can enjoy the natural beauty and serenity of the mighty Mekong River onboard a 12-cabin boat. After exploring the Delta’s bustling floating market near Cai Be, cycling through fruit orchards and cruising the countless canals splintering around Ben Tre by rowing sampans, guests will be transferred back from My Tho to Saigon by bus on Sunday afternoon. This unique city escape promotion is valid until September 30 and can also be chartered for private groups, company outings or family excursions with departure dates up to the travelers. Terraverde Cruises Collection includes several wood cruise vessels operating on formerly inaccessible stretches of the Mekong River in Laos and in the Lower Mekong between Cambodia and Vietnam. Vu Minh Anh, managing director of Terraverde, told the Daily that the travel company offered off-the-beaten track destinations, authentic Vietnamese cultural tours, private or small group journeys and tailor-made itineraries throughout Vietnam, Cambodia and Laos. He said that the company emphasizes comfort with carefully picked accommodations in deluxe hotels and resorts. Terraverde recently opened tours on Vespa motorcycles around HCMC, the Mekong Delta and along the coast of Mui Ne, Phan Thiet and Nha Trang, he added.
