Cu Chi Tunnels (Ben Dinh or Ben Duoc site)
The Cu Chi Tunnels offer an eye-opening look at Vietnam’s underground wartime network. Here you’ll see camouflaged entrances, preserved tunnel sections, and outdoor displays of tanks and traps used during the conflict. Exhibits explain how the tunnels were built and how daily life functioned below ground. You may also choose to enter widened tunnel sections for a realistic underground experience. Tickets required but not included.
Vinh Trang Pagoda
A beautiful and peaceful Buddhist temple surrounded by gardens, giant Buddha statues, and ornate pagoda structures. Vinh Trang blends Vietnamese and Khmer architecture, creating a serene atmosphere perfect for a short cultural pause. The colorful statues, shaded walkways, and spacious grounds make it one of the Delta’s most photogenic religious sites.
My Tho Boat Pier for Mekong River Boat
This riverside departure point serves as the gateway to the Mekong’s vast network of channels. From here, travelers typically board a local boat to cruise past river houses, coconut trees, and fishing boats. The pier is lively and offers an authentic look at daily river commerce. (Boat tickets not included.)
Ben Tre Riverside
Ben Tre is famous for its coconut-based crafts, and this stop gives you a close look at small workshops shaping candies, oils, ropes, and other hand-made products. It's a simple yet engaging glimpse into traditional local production. Visitors often enjoy brief tastings and a relaxed walk by the riverside.
