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.

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.

The property sits along a peaceful riverbank, offering panoramic views of daily life on the Mekong’s waterways—from fishing boats gliding by in the morning mist to children waving from small sampans in the afternoon.

These rooms feature air conditioning, comfortable beds, modern bathrooms, and private patios—ideal for soaking in the riverside atmosphere.

In addition to the new deluxe rooms, Mango Home also offers a range of bungalow-style accommodations with thatched roofs and garden views, providing guests with a truly authentic Mekong Delta homestay experience.

Seasonal Highlights: July to September

During these months, the landscape of Ben Tre is lush and alive. The brief afternoon showers nourish the rice paddies and coconut trees, while morning and evening hours remain ideal for tours and excursions.

Many families visiting Vietnam during summer holidays take advantage of this window to explore Ben Tre through one of Mango Home’s curated travel programs:

Ben Tre Day Tour

Perfect for families and short-stay visitors, the Ben Tre Day Tour includes boat cruises along quiet canals, visits to coconut candy workshops, local mat weaving houses, and traditional Vietnamese countryside experiences.

Coconut Island Joining Tour

This tour allows guests to travel by boat to a local island, where they can enjoy fresh coconut treats, learn about the area's agricultural practices, and take part in fun activities such as fishing or coconut leaf weaving. It’s interactive, family-friendly, and deeply rooted in the culture of Ben Tre.

Evening Cooking Class & Dinner
