Explore authentic cruise-port experiences, review tour conditions, and request a reservation. Supplier confirmation is required.
Experience overview
Your journey to the Cu Chi Tunnels takes around 2.5 hours, offering a relaxing and scenic drive through the Vietnamese countryside. Along the way, you'll pass rubber plantations, lush rice paddies, and glimpses of local village life before reaching this historic site, known during the Vietnam War as the Iron Triangle. The vast Cu Chi Tunnels, stretching 155 miles, once wove beneath villages while serving as a military base for the Viet Cong. Remarkably, a large U.S. military base, the 25th Infantry Division, was located directly above them. Before going underground, you'll watch a short video explaining how the tunnels were used. You'll then explore sections of the tunnel system, which have been widened for easier access. Inside are meeting rooms, medical areas, kitchens, and storerooms for weapons. You'll also see examples of mantraps used during the war. Above ground, you can view the remains of an American tank and numerous bomb craters left by 500-pound bombs dropped by B-52 bombers. There's also a souvenir shop if you'd like to take home a memento of your visit. Afterward, enjoy a local lunch in Cu Chi. If time permits, you may also visit Ho Chi Minh City for a short stop at Ben Thanh Market to browse the stalls, shop for souvenirs, and take in the lively atmosphere. Throughout the day, your knowledgeable guide will share insights and stories that bring history to life in this fascinating corner of Vietnam. Please note: Western-style food is available upon request at the time of booking for an additional fee, payable on the day of your tour (not included; approximately $10 US). The cruise line will grant passengers a Vietnam visa. Some of the cruise lines include the visa within the cruise package. However, if a visa was not included in your cruise package, you may purchase one directly onboard. The cost can be up to $50 US per person, depending on the cruise line.
