Welcome to Nick Mekong Delta, a local travel team based in Can Tho, in the heart of Vietnam’s Mekong Delta.
For us, the Mekong Delta is much more than a destination. It is our home.
It is the sound of boats moving along the river before sunrise, the smell of breakfast being prepared at the floating market, the small canals hidden beneath coconut palms, the fruit gardens behind village houses, and the quiet countryside roads where local life continues at its own peaceful rhythm.
This is the Mekong Delta we know, and this is the Mekong Delta we want to share with you.
At Nick Mekong Delta, we create authentic local experiences for travelers who want to go beyond the usual sightseeing tour and discover the people, culture, food, nature, and everyday life of Southern Vietnam.
More Than a Tour – A Real Local Experience
We believe the best travel memories often come from simple moments.
Having breakfast on a small wooden boat while the river wakes up.
Cycling along a narrow countryside path surrounded by rice fields and tropical gardens.
Stopping at a local market where families shop every morning.
Learning how rice noodles are still made by hand in a family workshop.
Cooking Vietnamese food together with a local family.
Cruising through a quiet canal surrounded by water coconut palms.
Sitting down with a farmer and discovering how cacao is transformed into chocolate, cacao milk, and local cacao wine.
These experiences may seem simple, but they tell the real story of the Mekong Delta.
Our goal is not to rush you from one attraction to another. We want you to have enough time to observe, taste, talk, discover, and truly enjoy where you are.
Explore Can Tho & the Mekong Delta
Can Tho is considered the heart of the Mekong Delta and is the perfect starting point for exploring this fascinating region.
One of its most famous attractions is Cai Rang Floating Market, where trading on the river has been part of local life for generations.
But the Mekong Delta is much more than its floating market.
Beyond the main river are peaceful villages, tropical orchards, rice fields, traditional workshops, Khmer temples, local markets, small canals, family farms, and communities that still preserve the distinctive lifestyle of Southern Vietnam.
Our tours are designed to combine these different sides of the region so that you can experience both its famous highlights and its quieter, lesser-known places.
Depending on your itinerary, your Mekong experience may include:
- Cai Rang Floating Market at sunrise
- Traditional wooden boat and small canal experiences
- Vietnamese breakfast on the river
- Countryside cycling through local villages
- Tropical fruit gardens and local markets
- Traditional rice noodle workshops
- Organic cacao farms and local tastings
- Vietnamese cooking classes
- Khmer temples and local culture
- Countryside walks and village visits
- Local homestay experiences
- Authentic Vietnamese meals
- Multi-day journeys through the Mekong Delta
Every experience is selected to help you understand a little more about how people live in this unique region.
Private & Small-Group Experiences
We prefer travel to feel personal.
That is why Nick Mekong Delta focuses on private tours and small-group experiences rather than large, crowded tours.
Traveling in a smaller group gives you more freedom to interact with your guide, ask questions, meet local people, stop for photos, and enjoy each destination without feeling rushed.
For couples, families, groups of friends, and travelers looking for something more personal, we can also customize an itinerary according to your interests and available time.
Whether you have only half a day in Can Tho or several days to explore the Mekong Delta, we can help you discover a side of the region that fits your travel style.
English & French-Speaking Local Guides
Communication can completely change a travel experience.
Our tours are available with English-speaking and French-speaking guides, making it easier for international travelers to understand the history, culture, traditions, food, and daily life of the Mekong Delta.
A good local guide does more than explain what you are looking at.
They connect you with the destination.
They can explain why boats at the floating market display fruits on long poles, how families make a living along the river, how local dishes are prepared, why certain traditions continue today, and how life in the Delta has changed from one generation to the next.
These small stories are often what transform a beautiful place into a meaningful memory.
Supporting Local People
Local communities are at the heart of our experiences.
Whenever possible, we work with local families, farmers, boat drivers, small workshops, homestays, and local guides.
By visiting family-run businesses and choosing locally operated experiences, tourism can provide direct benefits to the people who make the Mekong Delta such a special place.
We believe responsible tourism does not have to be complicated.
It can begin simply by traveling more slowly, respecting local culture, supporting small businesses, reducing unnecessary waste, and taking the time to understand the people behind the places we visit.

We want every traveler to feel that their Mekong journey has been created with care.

Stories about the boat driver you met before sunrise, the family who showed you how noodles are made, the farmer who introduced you to cacao, the meal you helped prepare, or the quiet village road you cycled along as the sun disappeared behind the rice fields.
