Tan Lap Floating Village Eco-Tour - 1 Day

This 1 day nature journey explores the Mekong Delta, southwest of Ho Chi Minh City — Vietnam's 'rice bowl' of rivers, orchards and floating markets. The route weaves together Tan Lap Floating Village, Melaleuca (cajuput) forest, Crescent Lake and Y-Bridge at a calm, well-paced rhythm, set against an intricate network of canals, rice paddies, fruit orchards and stilt-house river villages.

You travel with a small group with an English-speaking guide, so the timing stays flexible. Pickup, pace and stops are shaped around your group rather than a rigid coach timetable, and the route favours genuine local encounters over the busiest tourist sites.
