- Cu Chi Tunnels - The Cu Chi Tunnels are a network of underground tunnels located 55 miles northwest of Ho Chi Minh City (Saigon). They were carved out by hand and are believed to extend all the way to neighboring Cambodia. The tunnels were used by Vietnamese soldiers during the Vietnam War and served as a base for Communist attacks against nearby areas. Today, Cu Chi Tunnels comprise a popular Saigon tourist destination that provides visitors with an evocative look at Vietnam War history. The tunnels are complex and layered tunnels consisting of connecting rooms, air vents, escape routes and booby traps.

A 3-hour drive to Cu Chi district will take you through the typical countryside of southern Vietnam. On arrival, the visit starts with a short video documentary before spending the next couple of hours exploring the Ben Dinh section of the tunnels, where you will learn more about the history and the incredible tenacity and ingenuity of the Cu Chi inhabitants.
The more adventurous you are, the more opportunity you will have to crawl through the tunnels and fire off some rounds from an AK47 or M16 assault rifle at the shooting range. Taste typically boiled tapioca and hot tea, then head back to Saigon to enjoy lunch. After lunch, arrive back at the Phu My Port.
