The Mekong Delta is Vietnam's most fertile region, also known as the 'rice bowl' of Vietnam. A trip to the Mekong Delta is one of the highlights of a tour of Vietnam and we recommend a 1 or 2 night Mekong Delta Tour rather than a long day trip. The Mekong Delta's two main towns are Can Tho and Chau Doc and Victoria Resorts offer the best hotels in the Mekong Delta. A cruise on the Mekong Delta is a great option, with a choice of converted rice boats such as the Bassac or the private Song Xhan Mekong Cruise.
