Day 3 : Full Day Cu Chi Tunnel & Mekong Delta Tour
After an early morning breakfast, start your day by visiting the historic Cu Chi Tunnel. The Cu Chi Tunnels are a network of underground tunnels, carved out by hand, located 55 miles northwest of Ho Chi Minh City (Saigon). In the Sixties and Seventies, Cu Chi was part of hotly contested territory during the Vietnam War. The tunnel network was borne out of trial and error, as well as the hard work of the Viet Cong, who carved the tunnels out by hand with simple picks and shovels. For those interested, there is an opportunity to fire off an AK47 or MK16 with real ammunitions at the nearby shooting range. Later in the morning We depart for Mekong Delta. On the way, we stop by at a local restaurant to enjoy a lunch with Vietnamese Cuisine (Halal & Vegan food available). Upon reaching My Tho,start your motorboat cruise through the waterways of Mekong Delta. Get a glimpse of 4 beautiful islands; the Dragon, Unicorn, Phoenix and Tortoise Islands, along the way. Make a stop at a local coconut sweet(s) workshop, and get to indulge in fresh seasonal fruits complemented by honey or fruit tea. Have the chance to watch an authentic Southern Vietnamese folk music performance performed by the locals. Later in the evening depart from Mekong Delta and reach Ho Chi Minh City by 7pm.
