Day 2 — Cu Chi Tunnels
This half-day small-group tour explores the historic Ben Duoc section of the Cu Chi Tunnels—a preserved, less-visited 200-kilometer underground network dug by hand that once housed thousands during wartime. The trip begins with an authentic wartime documentary before a guided above-ground jungle walk showcasing hidden trapdoors, disguised ventilation shafts, a weapons workshop, field kitchens, and B-52 bomb craters. Guests can also opt to crawl through a 100-meter section of original tunnel and wrap up the visit with a traditional tasting of wartime staples, cassava and jasmine tea.
Available as either a morning (7:30–8:00 AM) or afternoon (12:30–1:00 PM) departure, the tour includes an optional firing range experience at the guest's own expense. Participants are required to wear closed-toe shoes suitable for jungle paths, while those with claustrophobia or mobility concerns can comfortably skip the optional tunnel crawl and observe from the exit.
