An absolute must-do when visiting southern Vietnam! Combining the Cu Chi Tunnels, the Mekong Delta, and the Coconut Village in a single tour gives you the perfect blend of rich history, stunning natural beauty, and local culture. Crawling through the historic Cu Chi Tunnels offers an eye-opening and unforgettable look into the resilience and ingenuity of the Vietnamese people. Transitioning from the history lesson to the tranquil waters of the Mekong Delta is a incredible contrast. Drifting along the palm-shaded canals on a traditional sampan boat feels like stepping into a postcard, and the visit to the Coconut Village is a highlight—tasting fresh honey tea, local tropical fruits, and seeing how delicious coconut candy is handmade right before your eyes. With great local food, warm hospitality, and insightful guides, this tour delivers an amazing, immersive day you will cherish long after your trip ends!

Lockie was an amazing tour guide, he provided not just information about every detail in our trip, but also a wonderful entertainment, even during the bus ride.

This tour was really well-organised and smooth and Dragon was an excellent guide! The Mekong Delta was the highlight for me and the tunnels were interesting too (but not great if you are claustrophobic!) The only part of the tour I didn't like was when we had to sit and wait listening to guns firing for quite a long time while some people were shooting at the shooting range

Explore two distinct sides of Vietnam—its wartime resilience and rural charm—on this immersive full-day guided tour of the Cu Chi Tunnels and Mekong Delta.

Getting started

Get picked up from your hotel in Ho Chi Minh City and settle in for a 90-minute drive to the Cu Chi Tunnels’ Ben Dinh site.

Cu Chi Tunnels

Start with a short film that introduces the tunnel network and its role during the Vietnam War. Then, explore the preserved underground maze—complete with living quarters, field hospitals, weapons storage, and booby traps once used by the Viet Cong. Wrap up your visit with a tasting of cassava and tea, a staple for soldiers who lived here during the war.

Lunch break

Enjoy a traditional Vietnamese lunch at a local restaurant before heading south toward the Mekong Delta.

Mekong Delta exploration

Cruise along the Tien River, passing Dragon, Unicorn, Phoenix, and Tortoise Islands. Visit a coconut candy workshop, enjoy seasonal fruits and honey tea, and learn about Delta life. Take a rowing boat through narrow canals and hop on a short village bike ride to see daily rural life up close.

Folk music & return

Wind down with a live performance of Southern Vietnamese folk music before making your way back to Ho Chi Minh City.

What to bring

Wear comfortable shoes, as the terrain is rugged, and bring sunglasses, insect repellent, and a sun hat.

Bring small bags or backpacks, as large items may hinder movement through the tunnels.

What’s not allowed

Smoking is not allowed inside the tunnels.

Accessibility

The experience is not wheelchair and pram/stroller accessible.

This experience is not suitable for guests with mobility issues and claustrophobia as the terrain is uneven and the tunnels are very narrow.

Additional information

Children must be accompanied by an adult at all times.
