What makes this experience unique?
This journey is like an "emotional adventure" in a day – from the depths of history to the gentle tranquility of the waterways. In the morning, you venture underground at the Cu Chi Tunnels, where each tunnel tells a story of willpower and survival in harsh conditions. By afternoon, things gradually calm down as you drift along the waters of My Tho, listening to traditional folk music and feeling the slow pace of life. The contrast between "underground" and "water" creates a unique experience – both profound and relaxing, like two perfectly fitting pieces of Southern Vietnam.
What you'll get to experience with us
A day trip with two fascinating explorations. In the morning, you visit the rubber forest and explore the Cu Chi tunnels - a famous historical tunnel system, learn about the life, creativity, and resilience of the people of Cu Chi during the war, while enjoying the survival foods associated with local history. In the afternoon, the journey continues to My Tho with a cruise experience on the Tien River, visiting Thoi Son islet, exploring fruit orchards, bee farms, tasting seasonal fruits, listening to traditional music, and rowing a sampan through the coconut waterways. A complete journey combining history - nature - culture of the Mekong Delta, leaving many unforgettable emotions and memories.
