Additional information

The legendary underground Cu Chi Tunnels is one of the most popular tourist attractions in Ho Chi Minh City. Visiting Cu Chi Tunnels is the best ways to understand more about the persistent, clever, heroic character of Vietnamese people and the prolonged resistance and the heart-broken war in Vietnam. Planning a trip to Cu Chi Tunnels is not as difficult as you think after you read this Ultimate Cu Chi Tunnels Guide.

What to do in Ben Dinh?

• See the map and simplified models of the tunnels.
• Watch a short documentary film.
• See the ventilation system, made of bamboo pipes, disguised as molehills.
• See secret cellar doors hidden under leaves and how to enter and exit the tunnels through entrances.
• See boob traps.
• Many deadly traps, arranged in a multitude, were American troops’ fear. The traps include Tiger trap jaws, Fish trap, Door trap, See sawtrap, Klipping aronnit trap, etc. Seeing how the traps work, you will be surprised at the guerilla intelligence.
• See meeting space, bomb making area, sleeping bunker, surgery room, weapon making area, rubber shoes making area.
• See the B52 bomb crater made by a high explosive bomb dropped in the jungle of Cu Chi during the war and M41 tank body, trapped in the woods and destroyed by Viet Cong delay action mine in 1970.
• Crawl a section of tunnels. This perhaps is the most exciting thing to do in Cu Chi Tunnels. A part of the tunnels has been modified (widened, lightened) to accommodate tourists. However, you still feel the bad condition in the tunnels which are humid, dark, lack of air. You can go through the exit points existing every 20 m if you do not want to crawl further and deeper.
• Enjoy boiled cassava and tea. After crawling and exploring the tunnels, you should go to an area next to Hoang Cam Kitchen. There you can wash your hands and your face with the water from bamboo tubes. It is totally refreshing. Nice cooks serve you boiled cassava with a mix of salt, toasted sesame, and crushed peanuts and some tea on wooden tables. Steamed cassava is a popular food of  Cu Chi people and Viet Cong soldiers during the war because of lack of foods. However, many visitors enjoy this sticky and buttery food so much. Hoang Cam Kitchen or Smokeless Kitchen is worth seeing in Cu Chi Tunnels. The key of this kitchen is Hoang Cam Stove, named after the inventor – a Viet Cong soldier. It is a stove intake and chimney system, diffused and dissipated smoke from cooking which prevented aerial detection of smoke. Besides the stove, you can see some wood, an old wooden cupboard, and a few kitchen utensils.
• Entertain yourself with sport defense shooting, paintball, swan boat, kayak, bicycle ride. Below is the price at the shooting range:
  • M16: 35,000 VND/1 bullet
  • AK 47: 40,000 VND/1 bullet

Each ticket costs less than 10,000 VND (less than $0.5 USD) and is usually bought inside the bus. In about two hours and ten minutes, a bus may transport you from Ho Chi Minh City to the Ben Duoc Cu Chi Tunnels.

Go to the Ho Chi Minh Bus Station in District 1, which is located at the western end of Backpacker Street (Pham Ngu Lao). Take bus number 13 to Cu Chi Station (buses leave every 30 minutes, more or less). The trip takes about 1 hour and 20 minutes.

Arriving at Cu Chi Station, look around for Bus Nº79. Hop on Bus Nº79 to Ben Duoc and reach the destination after 40 minutes.

Go to Cu Chi Tunnels by motorcycle

You can choose to drive yourself or sit on the back of a motorbike to get to Cu Chi Tunnels from the center of Saigon. You can search on the internet for travel agencies providing motorbike rental with or without a driver. It takes from 2 to 3 hours to drive from District 1 to Cu Chi District. The beautiful green sites on the way are worth seeing and this is the choice for travelers who have adventurous spirits. I would like to recommend having a guide with you because it is not simple to ride a two-wheel vehicle for 75 km in Ho Chi Minh City.

Reserve a Private car to Cu Chi (or Private transfer from Ho Chi Minh to Cu Chi Tunnels)

Book a Cu Chi Tunnels Tour by car (group or private)/motorbike/speedboat

This is perhaps the most popular choice for a traveler in Ho Chi Minh City. Just book and be picked up by a driver and a guide before starting an amazing journey to Cu Chi Tunnels. Sometimes, you must follow other tourists and spend more time on a group tour. Prices of private tours are often higher than group tours. Tracy Do can help to arrange your Cu Chi Tunnels Tour (half day or full day), with or without visits to Cao Dai Temple, Cooking Class, Mekong Delta.
