TRAVELING WITH SENIORS?
The Mekong Delta is generally a relaxed experience, but there are several boat transfers during the day.
The small rowing boats used in the narrow canals can be slightly unstable, and getting on and off boats may require some assistance.
For travelers with elderly family members or mobility concerns, we recommend choosing a Private Tour.
Why choose a Private Tour?

Your guide can pay closer attention to your comfort and help you during boat transfers.
