Skip the crowded tour buses in Ho Chi Minh and head here for the real Mekong Delta. You're going to want the Ben Tre Mekong Zig Zag tour to see the grid of canals properly. Hop on a sailboat through the coconut groves, then take a tuktuk to a local market to grab ingredients for a cooking class. It's humid, green, and the best way to see southern Vietnam without the tourist traps.
