Itinerary
Your journey begins with a visit to the legendary Cu Chi Tunnels, an immense underground network used by Vietnamese soldiers during the Vietnam War. With the guidance of a knowledgeable local expert, you’ll walk through the dense jungle and learn about the incredible strategies and survival techniques used by the Viet Cong. You’ll have the chance to explore the original tunnel system—crawl through narrow passages, see hidden trapdoors, underground kitchens, and living areas that reveal how people lived, fought, and survived in this harsh environment. Along the way, you’ll also see wartime relics, bomb craters, and even try your hand at shooting a rifle at the nearby range (optional, with additional fee). This powerful experience offers a deep and unforgettable insight into Vietnam’s history, resilience, and ingenuity.
After exploring the Cu Chi Tunnels, you’ll head to the peaceful countryside of Mỹ Tho, one of the gateway cities to the Mekong Delta. Upon arrival, you'll board a traditional wooden boat and cruise along the mighty Mekong River. Enjoy the scenic views of lush palm trees, stilted riverside houses, and local fishing boats. You’ll stop at small islands where local families live and work. Visit a coconut candy workshop, see how locals make honey tea, and sample tropical fruits freshly picked from the garden. Then, relax as you glide through narrow canals in a hand-rowed sampan—a signature Mekong experience. This part of the journey gives you a close-up view of rural life in southern Vietnam, offering authentic moments of connection, rich culture, and unforgettable landscapes.
