The places on our routes

Vietnam merged many provinces in 2025. Since 1 July 2025, My Tho has been part of an enlarged Dong Thap province, the former Ben Tre province is part of Vinh Long, Soc Trang and Hau Giang are part of Can Tho city, and Kien Giang, with Rach Gia, Ha Tien and Phu Quoc, is part of An Giang. The town names on this site are the ones on road signs and ferry tickets. Where the province matters, we say "the former Ben Tre province" rather than calling it a province today.

Border country on the upper Hau River: Sam Mountain with its temples, Cham villages across the water, floating fish farms, and Tra Su forest twenty kilometres away. Our three, four and six-day packages stay one night. Read about Chau Doc.

The two mainland towns with fast boats to Phu Quoc. Ha Tien is the shorter crossing and the one our six-day package uses; Rach Gia is the larger town with the longer crossing. Read about the ferry towns.

The delta is larger than our routes. We do not run packages to the Tram Chim wetlands, the U Minh forests, the Ca Mau cape or the Khmer pagodas of Soc Trang and Tra Vinh, and we do not build a package around a homestay night. These are fine places; they need different trips, and we would rather say so than stretch a package to reach them.

If you already know which place you want most, the packages page shows which route includes it, and the pricing page shows how the price is put together.

Every destination page follows the same order, so you can compare them quickly. First, the key facts: how many nights our routes spend there, the nearest airport and the months that suit it. Then an honest paragraph on what the place is really like today, including what has been lost or over-visited. Then how many nights it needs and why fewer does not work, the months, how to get there, and what things cost on the ground, with the source and date of every published figure.

Each page ends with a section on when to skip the place altogether, and with links to the packages that include it. The pages do not sell; they are there so that you can decide whether a package is right before you send the form.
