Escape the bustle of the city and journey into the heart of Southern Vietnam’s countryside to explore the legendary Cu Chi Tunnels. Step into the shoes of a Viet Cong fighter as you crawl through the iconic 155-mile (250 km) underground tunnel network and experience a real military-style shooting range.
Enjoy a comfortable hotel pickup as your guide takes you on a scenic drive from bustling Ho Chi Minh City to the peaceful Cu Chi District. Along the way, marvel at the lush rice paddies, charming roadside stalls, and the authentic rural landscape of Vietnam.
Arriving at the site, begin your adventure with a guided tour of the Cu Chi Tunnels – a vast underground maze of hidden pathways, camouflaged trapdoors, meeting rooms, sleeping quarters, field hospitals, and the famous Hoang Cam smokeless kitchen. Feel the intensity of history beneath your feet as you learn how a mere 3–4 meters of soil could withstand the weight of 55-ton tanks and protect against heavy bombing.
Watch a short wartime documentary to gain insight into the daily lives of Vietnamese fighters, then explore the remaining bomb craters, handmade weapons museum, and souvenir shops showcasing relics of war.
Get your adrenaline pumping at the National Defense Sports Shooting Range, where you’ll have the rare chance to fire real M-15s, AK-47 (From 18+ for this experience – equipment fee not included), and carbine rifles. This thrilling experience is optional and available at an additional cost, perfect for those seeking an extra dose of adventure.
Afterward, we’ll make a stop at SOL Cu Chi Restaurant – a perfect spot to relax after exploring the tunnels. Here, you may choose to enjoy a variety of delicious local dishes in a tranquil countryside setting (meals at your own expense).
