My Journey as a Freelance Tour Guide and Owner of Coco River Lodge

I am Hugh Le, a passionate freelance tour guide and the proud owner of Coco River Lodge, nestled in the picturesque Vinh Long province of Vietnam. Growing up in this beautiful region, I developed a deep-rooted love for my homeland and a desire to share its unique beauty and cultural heritage with travelers from around the world.

A Local’s Perspective

Having spent my life in Vinh Long, I have an intimate knowledge of its hidden gems, from lush rice paddies and winding rivers to vibrant markets and charming villages. This local insight allows me to craft personalized itineraries that reflect the interests and preferences of my clients. Whether it’s a leisurely boat ride through the intricate waterways of the Mekong Delta, exploring local farms, or experiencing traditional cooking classes, I strive to ensure that every tour highlights the authentic essence of our area.

Coco River Lodge: My Unique Retreat

Coco River Lodge is not just a place to stay; it’s a tranquil retreat that serves as a base for my tours. Located along the banks of the Mekong River, my lodge offers guests a serene escape from the hustle and bustle of city life. With beautiful gardens, cozy accommodations, and breathtaking river views, Coco River Lodge embodies the charm of rural Vietnam. I invite guests to unwind in this peaceful environment while enjoying traditional Vietnamese cuisine made from fresh, local ingredients.

At the lodge, I organize workshops and experiences that allow visitors to engage with the local community. From crafting traditional handicrafts to participating in fishing activities with local fishermen, I create opportunities for guests to immerse themselves in the daily lives of the people in Vinh Long.

Tailored Tours and Experiences

I take great pride in designing tours that are flexible and cater to the diverse interests of my clients. Whether you’re seeking adventure, cultural immersion, or culinary experiences, I have something for everyone. My deep understanding of the Mekong Delta’s history and ecology enables me to provide insightful commentary that enriches your travel experience.

For nature enthusiasts, I offer guided excursions to explore the region’s rich biodiversity, including visits to serene orchards and vibrant floating markets. If you’re interested in history, I love sharing stories about the area’s past, including its significance during the Vietnam War and its development over the years.

Commitment to Sustainable Tourism

I’m a strong advocate for sustainable tourism practices. I believe in preserving the natural beauty and cultural integrity of the Mekong Delta while providing visitors with meaningful experiences. By collaborating with local communities and promoting eco-friendly initiatives, I aim to ensure that tourism benefits both visitors and residents alike.
