Description
Discover the Cu Chi Tunnels and the Mekong Delta on a day trip from Ho Chi Minh City. Learn about the Vietnam War, try shooting an AK47 or MK16 rifle, and enjoy a local lunch.
Explore the Cu Chi Tunnels and the Mekong Delta on a combined tour from Ho Chi Minh City. Watch a short documentary about the tunnels, crawl through the narrow tunnels, and try shooting an AK47 or MK16 rifle (optional). Then, cruise along the Tien River and enjoy a local lunch.
Start your day with a pickup from your hotel in Ho Chi Minh City and drive to the Cu Chi Tunnels. Watch a short documentary about the tunnels and learn about the incredible network of tunnels that were used as a secret refuge by the Viet Cong during the war.
Crawl through the narrow tunnels, which were made by hand, and try shooting an AK47 or MK16 rifle in a supervised area (optional with surcharge). Then, taste the main dish that locals ate during the war: boiled tapioca with hot pandan tea.
Next, cruise along the Tien River to see the fisherman’s ports and four islets that are represented as four mythical animals in Southeast Asia: the Dragon, Kirin, Tortoise, and Phoenix. Stop at the Kirin islet for your main activities.
Enjoy a delicious local lunch before walking through orchard gardens and tasting some fresh seasonal tropical fruits. Listen to the art of “Don ca tai tu” Southern folk music, which is an indispensable spiritual cultural activity in locals’ life.
Take a short walk through a quiet village to feel the countryside atmosphere. Finally, enjoy relaxing moments with hand-rowing sampan rowing along the river before returning to your hotel in Ho Chi Minh City.
