CU CHI TUNNEL – MEKONG DELTA

8:00AM Pick you up at your hotel and start to Cu Chi Tunnels . Upon arrival, before exploring the tunnels, you will have some short introduction followed by introductory video about how the tunnels were constructed and how the people survived in the harsh conditions of the war time. Then, spend your time to explore the remaining area and tunnel systems which included the special constructed living areas with kitchens, bedrooms side by side with other martial facilities like storage, weapons factories, field hospitals, and command centers helping whoever lives inside the tunnels meet their basic needs.

 Besides, there are also many hidden trap doors and dangerous traps within the maze-like tunnels for security purpose during the war. Afterward, special tea and cassava (guerilla’s food during the war) will be served.

Break time for relax or time for those who want to try the real shooting gun. Have lunch at local restaurant.

Head to My Tho. On arrival, take a leisurely cruise on the Tien River to view the fishing port, the traditional stilt houses and boat building workshops, and the four beautiful islands known as Dragon, Unicorn, Phoenix and Tortoise islands. Visit the coconut candy mill and take an amazing rowing boat trip along the small canal on a hand-rowed sampan under the shadow of the water coconut trees along natural canals.

Then enjoy seasonal fruit & honey tea to the sound of “Southern Vietnamese folk music”, performed by locals.

Return to Ho Chi Minh City. Transfer back to your hotel around 18:00pm.
