Legend of the Mekong River – A grand excursion crossing Vietnam, Cambodia, and Southern Laos:

As the sixth-longest river in the world, the Mekong River Delta provides a home for over 60 million people from diverse cultures and civilizations. The section of the river in Vietnam is nicknamed the “River of Nine Dragons” because it has nine tributaries flowing toward the sea.

The Mekong River Excursion begins with a departure from the frantic city of Saigon, continuing toward Ben Tre for an escape into the heart of the famous river. Here, you will admire its picturesque canals and markets while discovering a true civilization on the water: how people live, eat, work, and spend their days on small boats that serve as floating homes. An overnight stay at the beautiful Le Jardin du Mekong allows you to live like true Mekong citizens—a very interesting experience for all travelers.

The tour then proceeds with another boat journey that takes you from Chau Doc to Phnom Penh via another Mekong tributary, the Tonle Sap River, and finally to Tonle Sap Lake (the Great Lake). Three days in Siem Reap will be an unforgettable part of the Mekong River Excursion, as you walk through a territory of ancient myths and legends that tell of a lost civilization full of mysteries. Flying then to Pakse, you will reach another essential stop in the Mekong Delta: the famous 4,000 islands of Laos. Visits to Don Khong—the largest of the 4,000 islands—and the waterfalls offer a refreshing and exciting conclusion to this beautiful journey.

The trip can begin in Pakse (Laos) and end in Ho Chi Minh City (Vietnam), or vice versa.
