For adventurous travelers, this is a rare opportunity to admire the beautiful and interesting natural landscapes and the unique way of life on the vast, boundless sea.
In particular, a trip to An Giang to visit the Tra Su Melaleuca Forest – the most characteristic example of a wetland ecosystem – will leave visitors with many emotions that are difficult to describe in words.
Enjoy a ride in a small boat gliding over the lush green water hyacinths and dense patches of lotus and water lilies. Upon reaching the pier, the experience of paddling a small three-leaf boat into the bird sanctuary becomes even more exciting, allowing you to witness species such as the kingfisher, egret, heron, and two species listed in Vietnam's Red Book: the lotus heron and the snake-necked stork. As dusk falls, the area resounds with the lively sounds of over 70 species of birds returning to their nests, like a rustic symphony of nature.
Above all, visitors also have the opportunity to transform into authentic farmers, personally harvesting water chestnuts and Sesbania flowers in the fields, setting traps to catch fish, etc. Especially when the young Linh fish arrive early this year, visitors sitting in boats on the canal can even touch schools of fish drifting by, which is very interesting.
The specialties of the flood season will be prepared into rustic dishes carrying the flavors of the riverside countryside, such as battered and fried snakehead fish, grilled snakehead fish served with young lotus leaves, snakehead fish hotpot with water hyacinth flowers… leaving an unforgettable impression on discerning diners.
A 2-day tour exploring the Mekong Delta during the flood season to An Giang (Chau Doc – Tra Su – Vam Nao), departing on August 23rd; September 6th, 20th; October 4th, 18th, all-inclusive price of VND 1,865,000 per person at Fiditour.
