The Mekong Delta or Cuu Long in Vietnamese, with it riche agricultural soil, is one of the nation's rice baskets. The surrounding area is comprised of low lying rice paddies and the rivers are bordered by dense mangroves and palms.

The tributaries of Mekong River provide a comprehensive network of canals and channels. Travel by river is the best method to explore the region at a leisurely pace as it offers opportunities to experience the truly unique Mekong River lifestyle. Cruising on the roof of a boat as the sun sets over distant coconut trees is truly remarkable experience.

We would like to thank you enormously for the wonderful time we spent in Vietnam. Viet Nam is fascinating enough but we had the added luck of finding your company on the internet....The guides were fantastic: Lu in Sapa and Tin and Ha Ha in the Mekong. Not only were they informative and professional, but utterly charming as well. But I think everyone in Viet Nam has these qualities! The magic and exciting energy of Viet Nam and its people will stay with me forever. And I couldn't recommend Luxury Travel highly enough. We thank you again. Kind regards Penelope Sachs and Wolf Meurer Kommetjie Western Cape South Africa.

Delta Du Mekong, ce fut le moment le plus dépaysant de notre voyage. Nous avons eu l'impression de goûter davantage à la vie quotidienne des Vietnamiens de cette région. Les scènes des marchés flottant, les habitations sur pilotis, les gens afférés au tâches de chaque jour en contact étroit avec l'eau (lessive, préparation des repas, jeux des enfants, la pêche) nous ont amenés dans un univers tellement différent du nôtre. Contrairement à certains moments du voyage (comme dans la baie d'Halong), nous n'avions pas l'impression de nous retrouver dans un ghetto touristique. Nous n'étions que des observateurs immergés dans le monde quotidien de ce merveilleux peuple vietnamien. Sylvain Savoie et Pierre Beaubien depuis Quebec Canada. sylvain.savoie (at) ssq.ca
