Program details
Slalom through the water hyacinths as you glide along the Saigon River whilst learning about life along the banks from your professional guide. Enjoy a picturesque journey as you pass by famous riverside locations as well as ogling interesting river houses, beautiful flora, and charming houses. Tuck in a light breakfast of sandwiches or pastries, fresh tropical fruits and Vietnamese iced coffee served on board.
After a scenic one-hour boat trip, you will embark on a harrowing adventure through the fascinating yet eerie Cu Chi Tunnels. Start the adventure by watching a brief introductory video to the Cu Chi area. Built to evade the enemy attacks, these cramped and complex tunnels are part of an elaborate underground network made up of 250km (155 miles.) of tunnels and chambers. As you explore the tunnels, you will discover the secrets of the hidden man-traps, and learn how the tunnels were not only used as hiding spots for the Vietnamese but served as communication and supply routes, hospitals, food and weapon caches and even living quarters for many soldiers.
Before your eye-opening and humbling tour comes to an end, you can replenish your energy as you savour a traditional Vietnamese lunch by the river, consisting of authentic fried spring rolls, chicken and beef dishes and soup.
