Vietnam's Chu Chi tunnels by private luxury speedboat

Vietnam’s Chu Chi tunnel network occupies a legendary place in the history books of the Vietnam War. Famous for its role in facilitating Viet Cong control of a large rural area only 30km from the South Vietnamese controlled Ho Chi Minh City, at its peak the tunnel system stretched from the South Vietnamese capital to the Cambodian border.

The network, parts of which were several storeys deep, included countless trapdoors, living areas, storage facilities, weapon factories, field hospitals, command centers and kitchens. Located outside of Saigon and close to the Saigon River, in 2015 we’re offering the ultimate experience of this significant and extraordinary area. Avoiding the long drive from Saigon to Chu Chi, instead just minutes from your hotel is your private luxury speedboat that will take you in first class comfort to and from the tunnels. Soak up the sights of the Saigon River - a water world where boats, houses, restaurants and even markets float upon the river – before you reach Chu Chi where your resident expert guide brings alive the tunnels and their place in Vietnam’s history. A unique experience of this significant area.
