Cambodia & Vietnam (Mekong Delta)

1 itinerary · 0 open departures · 0 missions

Cambodia and Vietnam's Mekong Delta region is one of Southeast Asia's most captivating river landscapes, where the mighty Mekong River fans out into a vast network of channels, rice paddies, and floating markets before emptying into the South China Sea. Cambodia draws travellers with the ancient temples of Angkor Wat, the bustling capital Phnom Penh, and its complex, layered history. Crossing into southern Vietnam, the Mekong Delta offers boat trips through lush waterways, visits to stilted villages, fruit orchards, and traditional craft workshops. The combined route is a favourite for independent and group travellers seeking a deep immersion in river culture, history, and Southeast Asian daily life.

Mekong River Encompassed — Self-Launched: Siem Reap to Ho Chi Minh City

A 10-day self-launched version of G Adventures' Mekong riverboat trip, following the same route — Angkor Wat sunrise, Tonle Sap and Kampong Chhnang, Phnom Penh's history, the Cambodia–Vietnam border at Vinh Xuong, and the floating markets and orchards of the Mekong Delta down to Ho Chi Minh City. Instead of a 28-passenger boutique riverboat, you travel the way locals and backpackers do: shared minivans, local express boats, ferries and the occasional slow boat, sleeping in guesthouses and budget hotels along the river. Every included highlight is replaced with a self-bookable equivalent (GetYourGuide/Klook for Angkor guides and Cu Chi, direct booking for the delta boat trips), costs are roughly a third of the operator price, and you gain the freedom to linger where you like.

Missions

Nobody's posted a Mission for Cambodia & Vietnam (Mekong Delta) yet — which, frankly, is an opportunity.

Wait, what's a Mission?It's not a scheduled trip with dates and a minimum group size like a Departure — it's a goal. Learn to dive, do a Muay Thai camp, live somewhere for a month and work on something, chase one very specific experience. Post it, and other people chasing the same thing find you.

Be the first to post one: "Learn the first 20 seconds of a local dance, then perform it, uninvited, at every bar you visit."
