Embark on a full-day journey that blends Vietnam’s wartime history with the vibrant culture of the Mekong Delta. This experience takes you to the famous Cu Chi Tunnels (Ben Dinh), followed by a relaxing exploration of life along the Mekong River.
Begin your day with a convenient hotel pickup from central Ho Chi Minh City. As you travel through the countryside, your guide will share fascinating insights into the Vietnam War, the tunnel system, and the resilience of the Vietnamese people.
Upon arrival at the Cu Chi Tunnels (Ben Dinh), watch a short documentary introducing how the tunnels were constructed and how soldiers lived underground during the war. Then, explore the site, including hidden entrances, underground bunkers, kitchens, storage rooms, weapon workshops, and field hospitals.
You’ll have the opportunity to crawl through a section of the tunnels (optional), offering a realistic glimpse into wartime conditions. Try traditional guerrilla food—boiled tapioca with tea—and learn about the ingenious trap systems used for defence. For those interested, there is also an optional chance to try shooting activities with real firearms (additional fee).
After your visit, enjoy a Vietnamese lunch at a local restaurant before continuing to My Tho, the gateway to the Mekong Delta.
Board a motorboat and cruise along the Tien River, passing floating fish farms and local houses along the riverbanks. Admire the peaceful scenery as you approach the famous islets known as Dragon, Unicorn, Phoenix, and Tortoise.
Arrive at a local island, where you will visit a coconut sweets workshop and learn how traditional sweets are made. Continue your experience with a tasting of tropical fruits and honey tea while enjoying a live performance of Southern Vietnamese folk music.
Next, take a relaxing sampan ride through narrow canals shaded by coconut palms—one of the most iconic experiences of the Mekong Delta. Return by motorboat and begin your journey back to Ho Chi Minh City.
End your day with unforgettable memories of Vietnam’s history, culture, and natural beauty.
