Mekong Rustic 4.26

The History

Active Travel Asia’s founder, Mr. Nguyen Ngoc Bich (Bobby Nguyen) and his partners decided to launch Tan Phong Island in Cai Be, Tien Giang under the brand name of Mekong Rustic in 2014.

Location

Situated on one of beautiful island in Mekong River, Cai Be Town, Tien Giang Province, Mekong Rustic stand beside Cai Be floating Market and inside fruit gardens which emphasize the beautiful but seldom visit rural area on the side of Mekong River.

With 80 per cent Vietnamese live in the countryside, visitor to Vietnam are rarely given opportunity to peek beneath the veil of this age-old-culture. It is our goal to set a benchmark in ecotourism here that can be replicated throughout the region. In order to do this, we need to continue to show our guests how most Vietnamese actually live, far removed from tourist hot pots which dot the country.

Beautiful natural surroundings notwithstanding, it's not surroundings nor the brick and mortar of villages which make up communities. It's the people.

In Mekong rustic, it is important to us that you feel welcomed and included. We do this by offering the true Mekong Vietnamese hospitality. This is necessary if we wish to learn as much from you as we hope you learn from us.
