FULL ITINERARY
Cu Chi Tunnel speedboat tour will certainly highlight your Phu My shore excursions from cruise port with unforgettable memories in this unique historical monument. In the wars, Cu Chi Tunnels used to be a strong resistance base and defense system inside the ground of Vietnamese soldiers, majorly contributing to the success of the nation’s courageous struggles against the enemies. The sophisticated tunnel system includes a diversity of rooms that serve the daily activity of the soldiers such as bedroom, working room, kitchen, warehouse, hospital, etc. all of which are ventilated to the bushes in the forest. Nowadays, Cu Chi Tunnels are not only a national monument but also a tourist attraction that appeals millions of visitors each year. Let’s come and discover the glorious man-made construction!
Be picked up by our driver and tour guide at the port entrance gate, we will transfer to Tan Cang Pier by a comfortable air-conditioner minivan where we can get on the luxurious speedboat to Cu Chi Tunnels and enjoy the light breakfast with salted egg yolk chiffon, bottled water, and seasonal fruits.
After that, it is such an adventurous experience for us to walk in the jungle and surprisingly discover the dangerous traps to kill the enemies, the secret entrances for the soldiers to enter the underground resistance base, the bunkers and underground hideouts to get rid of the enemies in case of emergency. Next, we will have a chance to shoot the real guns (without bullets) at Cu Chi rifle range with the support of Vietnamese soldiers to guarantee your safeness during the experience. Continue this Phu My shore excursion, we will visit the places where the local people make rice-paper – the skin of spring roll (one of the most famous traditional foods in Vietnam) and learn about the product line of rice-wine.
