Overview

The journey

Doing Cu Chi and the Mekong in a single day means eleven hours and two long drives. Splitting it over two, with a night at an eco-farm or a delta resort, gives both halves room — and adds a cooking class where the rushed version has a motorway.

Day one goes north to the tunnels in the morning, then to an eco-farm to cook and eat lunch, and on down to the delta for the night. Day two is the river: a boat cruise, a coconut candy workshop in Ben Tre, a hand-rowed sampan through the canals, and back to the city.

Pace
Two full days, one night out of the city, and lunch you cooked yourself.
Best for
Travellers who want the two southern headline days without doubling back to Saigon in between.

Highlights

  • The Cu Chi tunnel network and the bunkers below it
  • A hands-on Vietnamese cooking class, with the result eaten as lunch
  • A night out in the delta rather than a second drive back to Saigon
  • A Mekong river cruise through the islets
  • A coconut candy workshop in Ben Tre
  • A hand-rowed sampan through the water-coconut canals

Questions

What do we cook?

Whatever the eco-farm has in the garden that morning, built around bánh xèo and spring rolls. If you are vegetarian or avoid something, tell us at booking and the kitchen will set you up separately.

Is the homestay basic?

It is simple and clean rather than luxurious — a delta property with fans or air conditioning and a shared dinner. If you would rather have a hotel standard, say so and we will quote the resort option.

Can the order of the days change?

Yes. The sequence of sights can shift with weather, traffic or opening hours, but the full list of included sights stays the same.

Can you cater for allergies or dietary needs?

Yes. Tell us what you avoid when you book and we will brief the restaurants on the route and choose suitable dishes.
