- Clean, air-conditioned vehicles suited for individuals, couples, and families.

Scenic Drive Through the South
The ride from Ho Chi Minh City to the Mekong Delta is a journey in itself. As you leave the city’s vibrant streets behind, you’ll pass:
- Lush rice paddies and coconut groves
- Small towns and local roadside vendors
- Networked canals and rivers that define the Delta region
With Explore Vietnam, you can relax and enjoy the changing landscape from the comfort of a modern, air-conditioned vehicle. Want to stop for a coffee or take photos? Just ask your driver—it’s your trip.
