Itinerary

Your guide will meet you at your hotel in the early morning and take you by private car to the central pier in District 1, where your boat is waiting. A great way to skip the traffic and start the day fresh.

Board a modern speedboat and cruise out of the city along the Saigon River. Within minutes, the skyline gives way to quiet riverside villages and green jungle. On board, enjoy a light breakfast with pastries or sandwiches, fresh tropical fruits, and a classic Vietnamese iced coffee. Your guide will share insights about daily life along the river as you ride upstream.

Breakfast

Arrive near Cu Chi and hop on a quality mountain bike (Merida, Trek, or Giant) with helmet provided. Your guide will lead you on a 20 km ride through peaceful countryside trails — far from tourist crowds and buses. Pass through rubber plantations, small farms, and local neighborhoods. You’ll also stop at a rice paper workshop and meet friendly villagers along the way. A light snack is provided at the halfway point to keep your energy up.

After your ride, dive into the fascinating history of the Cu Chi Tunnels. Walk through a preserved section of this underground wartime network and learn about how the Viet Cong lived, fought, and survived. You’ll see trap displays, hidden bunkers, weapons, and even try local cassava — the staple food during the war.

Relax after the tunnel visit with a riverside Vietnamese lunch. The set menu includes fried spring rolls, chicken and beef dishes, and a flavorful soup — a rewarding way to wrap up the active part of your day.

Lunch

Board the speedboat again and enjoy a smooth, scenic ride back to the city. You’ll arrive at the central pier around 3:00 PM, where a car will take you back to your hotel.
