"We had a wonderful day touring the Mekong Delta and Son Islet. Mr Happ, our guide, was so enthusiastic and informative about the area. Visiting the floating markets and floating houses is an experience not to be missed We had a personal tour of Son Islet and were made to feel so welcome by the community. I would highly recommend this tour aid you can get Mr Happy as your guide then so much the better."

About the Mekong Delta Floating Market Tours
A floating market tour in the Mekong Delta gets you on the water before the heat and after the boats gather: a guide handles the sampan, the bargaining and the breakfast order while the delta trades around you.
Floating markets peak between 6 and 8 am and wind down by mid-morning — the dawn start is not optional if you want the real thing.
