Saigon & the Mekong

 

Saigon is the heart and soul of Vietnam and the Mekong Delta is its “rice bowl”. The South is renowned for its friendliness. A stay with a local family on a Mekong Delta island is always a highlight of many people's holiday in Vietnam.  Alternatively, watch daily life evolve around you on a cruise or get right amongst it on a bike.
 
When to go...
The average temperature year round is 32°C but humidity soars to 80% during the rainy season fom June to October. Relief from the heat is available in Dalat, the central highland town, which has a year round temperature of 18°C.
