What to expect

Historical introduction

Start with a short documentary that outlines the construction and wartime use of the tunnels.

Tunnel exploration

Spend around 2 hours on-site crawling through tunnel sections and exploring underground kitchens, living quarters, command centers, and escape routes.

Life underground

Learn how the Viet Cong survived using hidden wells, makeshift hospitals, food storage, and clever design—even during intense bombing raids.

Trap demonstrations

Watch live demonstrations of booby traps and hear real stories of guerrilla warfare.

Wrapping up

Wrap up the visit with a tasting of cassava and tea. You can also visit the on-site shooting range (optional, at an additional cost) before heading back to Ho Chi Minh City.
