Mekong Delta Muslim Tour 1 Day

The Mekong Delta Muslim Tour 1 Day is a private day trip from Ho Chi Minh City for Muslim travellers to My Tho, about 70 km away: a private boat on the Tien River, Thoi Son Island, an orchard, a coconut candy workshop and a sampan ride through palm-lined canals. You travel with your own guide and air-conditioned car, and lunch is halal. Prices start from USD 36 per person.

Mekong Delta Muslim Tour 1 Day at a Glance

The Day in Brief

• Morning: hotel pick-up at 08:00, drive to My Tho, a private boat on the Tien River, Thoi Son Island, fruit tasting, a coconut candy workshop and a sampan ride.
• Lunch: halal lunch on the mainland at around 13:00, at the My Tho mosque or Halal Mekong restaurant.
• Afternoon: a relaxed drive back to Ho Chi Minh City from about 14:30.
• Return: drop-off at your hotel at around 16:30.

Highlights

• Tien River: a private boat on one of the two main branches of the Mekong in Vietnam, past fishing boats and stilt houses.
• Thoi Son Island: also called Unicorn Island, a farming island opposite My Tho with shady lanes and family gardens.
• Fruit orchard: taste whatever is in season, from pomelo and dragon fruit to longan and rambutan in summer.
• Coconut candy workshop: watch coconut milk and sugar cooked in large woks and cut into chewy sweets.
• Sampan canal ride: a hand-rowed boat through narrow canals of the Mekong Delta, lined with water coconut palms.

Halal Food and Muslim Travel Notes

• Halal meals: lunch is halal, served on the mainland at the My Tho mosque or at Halal Mekong restaurant, whichever fits the day’s timing. Fruit tasted at the orchard is naturally halal. For meals back in the city, see halal restaurants in Saigon.
• Mosque: when lunch is at the My Tho mosque, please dress modestly. For mosques in the city, see mosques in Ho Chi Minh City. Prayer times are not fixed in the itinerary because much of the day is spent travelling; tell your guide what you need and they will help where possible.
• Dress code: light, modest clothing with long sleeves for sun protection, and shoes that can get a little wet at the jetties.

Who This Tour Suits – and Who Should Choose Another

• Good for: families with young children, older travellers and anyone who wants a calm, green day out of the city with a halal lunch.
• Choose another tour if you want the Cu Chi Tunnels on the same day – take the Cu Chi Tunnels – Mekong Delta Muslim Tour 1 Day – or if you want to see Can Tho as well, in which case the Mekong Delta Muslim Tour 2 Days 1 Night is the better choice.
• Not included: floating markets (Can Tho is too far for a day trip), drinks and tips.

Is One Day Enough for the Mekong Delta?

For a first taste, yes. A day trip to My Tho shows river life, orchards, a village craft and the canals, and you are back at your hotel by late afternoon. To see a floating market, which starts at dawn in Can Tho, you need at least one night in the delta.

Customize Your Mekong Delta Muslim Tour 1 Day

• Add the Cu Chi Tunnels in the morning, as on the Cu Chi Tunnels – Mekong Delta tour.
• Stay overnight and continue to Can Tho on the Mekong Delta Muslim Tour 2 Days 1 Night.
• Start earlier to finish before the afternoon showers in the rainy season.
• Upgrade to a larger private vehicle for families or groups.

Local Expert Notes

By Jimmy, Saigon Muslim Tours

• My Tho is about 1.5–2 hours by road via the expressway. Weekday mornings are usually quicker than Friday afternoons and holiday weekends.
• The rainy season runs from May to November, with showers mostly in the afternoon; the morning boat trip usually stays dry.
• Boats and sampans are open to the sun. A hat, sun cream and light long sleeves make the river much more pleasant.
• Fruit is most plentiful from June to August; in the dry months from December to April skies are clearer for photos.
