Short answer Travel by speedboat from Ho Chi Minh City to the Cu Chi Tunnels, arriving early to explore the underground network, enjoy breakfast and a riverside lunch.
Cu Chi Tunnels by Speedboat
Begin your morning with a private transfer to Bach Dang Pier, where you will board a comfortable speedboat for a scenic journey along the Saigon River. As Ho Chi Minh City gradually gives way to peaceful riverside landscapes, enjoy a light breakfast of tropical fruit, pastries and traditional Vietnamese iced coffee on board.
Arrive at the Cu Chi Tunnels before the main crowds and explore this remarkable underground network with your private guide. Discover hidden passageways, underground bunkers, wartime exhibits and reconstructed living areas while learning about the ingenuity, resilience and daily life of the Viet Cong.
You will also have the opportunity to taste traditional cassava and, if desired, visit the shooting range at your own expense.
After the visit, enjoy a relaxed Vietnamese lunch at a riverside restaurant before travelling back to Ho Chi Minh City by speedboat. A private transfer will then return you to your hotel.
