Description
Skip the crowded Cu Chi experience and discover Ben Duoc instead. This tour takes you to the Ben Duoc section of the Cu Chi Tunnels, a quieter and less touristy part of the historic tunnel network, giving you more space and time to experience its wartime atmosphere.
Your journey begins with hotel pickup in Ho Chi Minh City and a comfortable ride to Ben Duoc. After watching a short documentary, follow your guide through the historic site and discover how the underground network supported life and military operations during the war.
Explore camouflaged trapdoors, hidden traps, command areas, weapon storage, underground kitchens, and medical facilities. The highlight is entering selected tunnel sections and crawling through the narrow underground passages yourself, offering a more hands-on experience than simply viewing the tunnels from above.
You’ll also taste cassava and tea, simple wartime staples, while hearing stories about how people lived and survived underground.
For an additional fee, take the experience further at the shooting range, where you can try firing a real firearm under range supervision. This optional activity is available for guests looking for an extra adrenaline-filled experience.
Choose a small-group tour or private tour according to your preference. With fewer crowds, a more immersive setting, hands-on tunnel exploration, and an optional real-gun shooting experience, Ben Duoc offers a different way to experience the Cu Chi Tunnels beyond the standard tourist route.
