Feed thousands of fish at a working floating farm, then cruise, sample coconut candy and ride a sampan through Ben Tre's canals, from EUR 29.
The Mekong Delta day tour with a floating fish farm pairs the region's classic river cruise, coconut candy workshop and sampan ride with a stop most competing tours skip: feeding thousands of fish at a family-run floating farm, from around EUR 29 per person.
What Makes This Mekong Delta Tour Different?
Most Delta day tours run the same fixed loop through My Tho and Ben Tre. This one adds a genuine outlier: a floating fish farm built directly on the river, where local families raise thousands of fish beneath their houses. Watching them gather in a feeding frenzy as you toss in food is a livelier, more hands-on moment than another walk through a candy workshop, and it is not something every operator on this route includes.
What Does the Tour Include?
The price covers transportation by air-conditioned car or minivan, an English-speaking guide, the motorboat and hand-rowed sampan rides, one main meal at a local restaurant, fresh tropical fruit and honey tea, entrance fees, bottled water and local drinks, and pickup and drop-off in central Saigon. Only extra meals outside the itinerary and personal expenses are excluded.
Is the Floating Fish Farm Tour Worth It?
For a first-time visitor who wants the Delta's usual highlights plus one memorable extra, yes. The fish farm stop is genuinely interactive and photogenic in a way that differs from the more passive workshop visits elsewhere on the route. That said, the rest of the day (cruise, coconut candy, sampan, lunch) closely mirrors the classic day tour, so travelers who have already done that exact route will find much of this familiar.
Who Should Book This Tour?
This suits families with kids, since feeding the fish is an easy, engaging activity for younger travelers, and anyone who wants a slightly less generic Delta day without paying for a private or premium tour. If price is the main concern and the fish farm stop is not a priority, the plain Mekong Delta day tour covers the rest of the route for less.
Prices and What's Included
Starting from EUR 29 per person, this sits just above the cheapest classic day tours, reflecting the added fish farm stop and the local drinks included alongside bottled water. Prices can shift with season, group size and the exact date booked, so check current availability before finalizing plans. One full meal, fresh fruit and honey tea are included at no extra cost.
Getting There and Insider Tips
Pickup covers the center of Saigon; confirm your exact meeting point when booking if your hotel sits outside the usual district. Bring hand sanitizer for after the fish feeding stop, and pack the usual sun protection for the open-water sections of the cruise. The village walk after lunch is relaxed and works well even in the early afternoon heat.
How Does This Compare to Other Mekong Delta Tours?
Travelers who do not need the fish farm stop should compare this against the standard Mekong Delta day tour, which runs a very similar route for slightly less. Those who want the tunnels added to the same day should look at the Cu Chi Tunnels and Mekong Delta tour instead. For background on the region, see its Wikipedia entry.
