Cu Chi Tunnels – Mekong Delta Muslim Tour 1 Day at a Glance

The Day in Brief

• Morning: hotel pick-up at 07:00, a guided visit to the Cu Chi Tunnels, then about 2 hours’ drive to My Tho.
• Lunch: halal lunch in My Tho at around 11:45, at the My Tho mosque or Halal Mekong restaurant.
• Afternoon: private boat across the Tien River, island orchard, coconut candy workshop and a sampan ride through the canals.
• Return: leave My Tho at around 15:00 and arrive at your hotel at around 17:00–17:30.

Highlights

• Cu Chi Tunnels: part of a hand-dug network of more than 120 km on up to three levels, with hidden entrances and underground kitchens and rooms.
• Tien River: a private boat on one of the two main branches of the Mekong in Vietnam, past stilt houses and river traffic.
• Island orchard: shady village lanes and tropical fruit straight from the garden in the Mekong Delta.
• Coconut candy workshop: see the sweets cooked and wrapped by hand, and try them fresh.
• Sampan canal ride: a hand-rowed boat through narrow waterways lined with water coconut palms.

Halal Food and Muslim Travel Notes

• Halal meals: lunch is halal, served in My Tho before the boat trip, either at the My Tho mosque or at Halal Mekong restaurant, whichever fits the day’s timing. Fresh fruit on the island is naturally halal. For dinner back in the city, see halal restaurants in Saigon.
• Mosque: when lunch is at the My Tho mosque, please dress modestly. For mosques in the city, see mosques in Ho Chi Minh City.
• Dress code: light, modest clothing and closed shoes that can get dusty at Cu Chi and splashed on the boats.

Who This Tour Suits – and Who Should Choose Another

• Good for: travellers with a single free day, couples and families with children aged 5 and over who are happy with a long day on the road.
• Choose another tour if you have two days – the Cu Chi Tunnels – Ho Chi Minh City Muslim Tour 1 Day and the Mekong Delta Muslim Tour 1 Day on separate days are more relaxed.
• Not included: central Saigon sights, dinner and the optional shooting range at Cu Chi.

Can You Do the Cu Chi Tunnels and the Mekong Delta in One Day?

Yes, with an early start. Cu Chi lies northwest of the city and My Tho southwest, so about four to five hours of the day are spent driving. In return you get about an hour and a half at the tunnels and two and a half hours on the river and islands. If you prefer a slower pace, take two separate day tours or the Ho Chi Minh Muslim Tour 3 Days.

Customize Your Cu Chi Tunnels – Mekong Delta Muslim Tour 1 Day

• Split the day into two separate day tours for a slower pace.
• Stay overnight in the delta and continue to Can Tho, as on the Mekong Delta Muslim Tour 2 Days 1 Night.
• Start later and leave out the shooting-range stop to shorten the day.
• Upgrade to a larger private vehicle for families or groups.

Local Expert Notes

By Jimmy, Saigon Muslim Tours

• The 07:00 start matters: it gets you to Cu Chi before the heat and keeps the boat trip in daylight. Late pick-ups usually mean less time in the delta.
• The Mekong rainy season runs from May to November. Showers tend to come in the afternoon, so carry a light raincoat for the boats.
• Fruit is most plentiful from June to August; in the dry months from December to April the weather is sunnier and the boat trips more comfortable.
• Stepping in and out of small boats needs care. Tell us in advance about any mobility concerns so the guide and boat crew can help.
