Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam

Cu Chi Tunnels & War Remnants Museum

Underground Passages and Exhibits Show the Vietnam War from the Vietnamese’s Side Learn about the Vietnam War from the Vietnamese’s perspective during a visit to underground tunnels and a museum. Drive with your guide past lush rice paddies and tranquil villages to Cu Chi. Here, explore the network of tunnels that allowed the Viet Cong to operate secretly during the war. Some tunnels were located 40 feet underground, and many of the passageways measured just two feet wide and five feet high. Soldiers lived in and fought from here, strategizing in a meeting room and using larger rooms as kitchens, hospitals and sleeping quarters. A guide will provide an overview of the tunnel network, after which you may descend the 20 steps into the tunnels to explore. After lunch, continue on to the War Remnants Museum—housing detailed photographic exhibitions and a collection of Vietnam War-era military hardware—before returning to your ship. * Demanding - Physically challenging activities, including extensive walks, hiking, riding, water sports, and high altitude activities.
