Why July, August and September are Some of the Best Months to Visit Ben Tre!

Nestled in the heart of the Mekong Delta, Ben Tre offers a tropical escape that remains surprisingly mild and refreshing during the summer season.
Contrary to what weather apps might show, Ben Tre rarely experiences full days of rainfall—even in the so-called “wet season.” Instead, most days bring less than an hour of monsoon-like rain, often in the late afternoon. These short showers cool down the atmosphere and, when paired with breezes drifting in from the Mekong’s many rivers, help regulate temperatures, creating the perfect climate for outdoor exploration.
This makes July through September one of the best times to experience everything that Ben Tre has to offer—lush green landscapes, vibrant local culture, and immersive riverside adventures.
Discover Mango Home Riverside Eco-Resort: An Authentic Mekong Delta Retreat
A key highlight for many travelers to this part of southern Vietnam is staying at Mango Home Riverside, a charming and eco-conscious Ben Tre Eco-Resort. Surrounded by tropical gardens and nestled along a quiet waterway, Mango Home offers more than just accommodation—it’s a window into authentic Mekong Delta living.
Designed with sustainability and comfort in mind, Mango Home Riverside is one of the region’s most beloved destinations for families, couples, and groups seeking a Ben Tre Homestay experience that blends relaxation, education, and adventure.
