Explore Vietnam's Cu Chi Tunnels and Mekong Delta for a Unique Experience

- Cu Chi Tunnels:
Travel to Vietnam and experience the Cu Chi Tunnels, a one-of-a-kind underground village with an intricate network of over 250 km long. This must-see destination is not only a hiding place and a battleground but also a safe haven for long-term living, complete with smoke-free kitchens, storage, handicraft and tailor stores, weapon factories, healthcare rooms, meeting rooms, and command centers. The tunnel system connects with thousands of tiny warming houses where local people could live, get married, and raise their kids. Discover the strong will, tenacity, intelligence, creation, and pride of inhabitants over there and see a symbol of Vietnamese revolutionary heroism.

During your visit, you can:

Watch a short documentary film about Cu Chi during the war (in many foreign languages options)
Discover the cover of secret refuge and an incredible network of Cu Chi tunnels.
Crawl through the narrow tunnels made by hand.
Gain more knowledge about history, weapons, and damaged self-construct traps.
Try to shoot with AK47 or MK16 riffles in a well-supervised area (*optional with surcharge)
Taste the main dish locals ate during wartime: Boiled tapioca with hot pandan tea.

- Mekong Delta:
The Mekong Delta is a serene and lush landscape with expanses of rice fields, ducks, and buffalo alongside the road, nipa palm canals, coconut and orchard gardens. Explore the typical agricultural life of the vibrant southern Delta region and immerse yourself in local activities such as:

Tasting local-made candy.
Enjoying traditional folk music - recognized by Unesco as an Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity.
Rowing sampan through the green canals.
Eating the typical Giant Gourami fish dish, etc.
During your visit to Mekong Delta, you can:

Cruise on the Tien River to see the fisherman’s ports and four islets represented by four mythical animals in Southeast Asia: Dragon, Kirin, Tortoise, and Phoenix, and visit Kirin islet for our main activities.
Walk through orchard gardens then taste some fresh seasonal tropical fruits, and enjoy the art of “Don ca tai tu” Southern folk music which is an indispensable spiritual cultural activity in locals’ life.
Hop on a tuktuk and relax on the hand–rowing sapan to recall local people's life in the 19th century, and take a short walk through a quiet village to feel the countryside atmosphere and reach the beautiful riverside restaurant for lunch.
Enjoy your private lunchtime with some famous Mekong specialties, such as deep-fried giant gourami, spring rolls, and giant fried sticky rice ball.
