Begin with a historical documentary before following your guide through forest paths to camouflaged entrances, reconstructed bunkers, defensive trenches and ingenious traps. Discover how underground kitchens, hospitals and living quarters supported a community hidden beneath the forest. Choose to crawl through a widened tunnel or explore above ground, then visit the Hoang Cam smokeless kitchen to learn how cooking smoke was concealed. An optional supervised shooting experience is available at an additional cost. Savor boiled tapioca with sesame-and-peanut dip and hot tea before relaxing on your private air-conditioned return transfer, carefully timed around your cruise schedule.

What to expect

  1. Phu My
    2h
    Meet your guide and driver directly outside Phu My or Hiep Phuoc Port and settle into your private, air-conditioned vehicle. With your ship’s docking and departure times confirmed, leave the waterfront behind and watch Vietnam’s changing landscapes unfold along the road to Cu Chi. Your guide sets the scene with stories of the Vietnam War and the extraordinary underground stronghold built by local soldiers and villagers. On arrival, watch a short documentary featuring historical footage that brings the tunnel network’s construction and strategic role into focus. This introduction reveals the human story behind the site: a community that learned to live, communicate and endure beneath the ground, turning an intricate maze of tunnels into a vital refuge during years of conflict.
  2. Cu Chi Tunnels
    2h · Admission ticket included
    Start your Cu Chi visit with a short historical documentary, then follow your guide through the forest to discover concealed entrances, escape routes and passages linking underground kitchens, hospitals, meeting rooms and living quarters. Learn how the network’s different levels supported daily life, allowing residents to move, rest and communicate while remaining hidden beneath the forest. Choose to crawl through a widened tunnel or continue exploring above-ground displays and reconstructed facilities. See bunkers, trenches, ingenious traps, photographs and military artifacts while learning how residents obtained food and water and protected the network. Visit the reconstructed Hoang Cam smokeless kitchen, with an optional supervised shooting experience available at an additional cost. Finish with boiled tapioca, sesame-and-peanut dip and hot tea—a simple taste of the food that sustained tunnel inhabitants.
  3. Phu My
    2h
    After your exploration, reunite with your driver and relax in your private air-conditioned vehicle for the return journey to Phu My Port. As the forest scenery gives way to the landscapes surrounding the coast, reflect on the hidden passages, resourceful defenses and personal stories that brought Cu Chi’s history to life. The drive offers time to unwind, ask your guide any remaining questions and take away a deeper understanding of the resilience of those who lived beneath the ground. Share your impressions with your guide, revisit the stories that intrigued you most, or simply settle back and enjoy the passing scenery as a memorable chapter of your Vietnam visit draws to a close. Your departure from Cu Chi and return transfer are carefully coordinated with your ship’s schedule, allowing sufficient time to reach the port before sailing. Your excursion concludes with drop-off at Phu My Port, ready to continue your cruise.
