Overview

The Mekong Delta really is ‘as flat as a pancake’, so cyclists of different levels can join any of our
tours without worrying too much about not being in top shape. A cycling Mekong delta tour will
take you through rice fields, countryside villages. Cruise to a floating market and bike on single
track along natural waterways in the Mekong delta.
