    Phu My

    Meet your guide and driver directly outside Phu My or Hiep Phuoc Port and settle into your private, air-conditioned vehicle. With your ship’s docking and departure times confirmed, leave the waterfront behind and watch Vietnam’s changing landscapes unfold along the road to Cu Chi. Your guide sets the scene with stories of the Vietnam War and the extraordinary underground stronghold built by local soldiers and villagers. On arrival, watch a short documentary featuring historical footage that brings the tunnel network’s construction and strategic role into focus. This introduction reveals the human story behind the site: a community that learned to live, communicate and endure beneath the ground, turning an intricate maze of tunnels into a vital refuge during years of conflict.

    Start your Cu Chi visit with a short historical documentary, then follow your guide through the forest to discover concealed entrances, escape routes and passages linking underground kitchens, hospitals, meeting rooms and living quarters. Learn how the network’s different levels supported daily life, allowing residents to move, rest and communicate while remaining hidden beneath the forest. Choose to crawl through a widened tunnel or continue exploring above-ground displays and reconstructed facilities. See bunkers, trenches, ingenious traps, photographs and military artifacts while learning how residents obtained food and water and protected the network. Visit the reconstructed Hoang Cam smokeless kitchen, with an optional supervised shooting experience available at an additional cost. Finish with boiled tapioca, sesame-and-peanut dip and hot tea—a simple taste of the food that sustained tunnel inhabitants.
