Taking a Boat Through the Countryside Canals

Along the way, visitors can see orchards along the riverbanks, local homes surrounded by greenery, and glimpses of the simple daily life of local residents. The quiet surroundings, gentle sound of the water, and rhythm of the oars make the journey especially relaxing.

Excellent experience
It was an experience, that you will never forget, how it would have been during the war, with no light, food and much air and space. If you are able it is definitely worth going in the tunnel. It is not very long and a little bit of light and air. We will come back Cu Chi Tunnels again
