  • Price & Booking

The trip to Tay Ninh is combined a visit to Cao Dai temple and to the Cu Chi Tunnels. The Cao Dai Temple at Tay Ninh has been described as a Walt Disney fantasia of the East. The temple’s exterior is decorated with multi-colored dragons of all shapes and sizes. Above the main entrance is the all-seeing holy eye, the symbol of the Cao Dai sect. The interior is just as engaging as statues of Jesus Christ, Buddha and the Hindu god, Brahma, stand side by side. In Cu Chi Tunnels, the remaining tunnels have become a major tourist attraction giving the visitor a unique experience and a feel of what underground life in the American/Vietnam war must have been like.

Highlights :
  • Enjoy a visit to Tay Ninh, home of the unique Cao Dai sect which is a mix of Buddhism, Taoism, Confucianism and Christianity.
  • Visit the famous Cu Chi Tunnels, an amazing underground labyrinth from which the Vietnamese fought during the American/Vietnam war.
  • For those who are keen, firing off some rounds from an AK47
Good for :
  • Anyone wanting to see these tunnels (it’s something you should not miss if you are in Saigon)
Detailed Itinerary:
  • In the morning at 08:00, we’ll drive to Tay Ninh to observe the midday service in Cao Dai temple.
  • Following lunch, we will drive to the Cu Chi Tunnels, Before entering the tunnels we watch a short introductory video showing how the tunnels were constructed. We then spend the next hour exploring the maze of tunnels. Also on display are various mantraps and the remains of an American tank as well as numerous bomb craters made by 500 pound bombs dropped by B52 bombers.
  • Return to Ho Chi Minh City around 17:00.
