Cu Chi Tunnels (Half Day Tour)

Why Cu Chi Tunnels (Half Day Tour) is special ?

The upper soil layer is between 3 to 5m thick and can support the weight of a 60-ton tank and the damage of light cannons and bombs. The underground network provided meeting rooms, sleeping quarters, commanding rooms, hospitals, and other social rooms. You can find down why Vietnam- a tiny country could defeat its enemy, the large and richest country in the world.

Visit the former Viet Minh underground stronghold at Cu Chi Tunnel.

The extensive tunnel system here provides great tenacity and resourcefulness of Vietnamese people.

Departure Time: 8.30 AM

Leaving Saigon we drive through pleasant countryside before arriving at Cu Chi.

Before entering the tunnels we watch a short introductory video showing how the tunnels were constructed.

We then spend the next hour exploring part of the tunnel system to gain a little understanding of what it was like during war time.

Also on display are various mantraps and the remains of an American tank as well as numerous bomb craters made by 500 pound bombs dropped by B52 bombers.

For those interested there is an opportunity to fire off rounds from an AK47 or MK16 at the nearby rifle range.
