Private Cao Dai Holy See & Cu Chi Tunnels Adventure

About this activity

Journey from the vibrant “Disney-esque” architecture of the Cao Dai Holy See to the legendary underground world of the Cu Chi Tunnels. This isn’t just a tour; it’s a multi-sensory expedition that combines luxury road travel with a high-speed scenic boat ride back to the heart of Saigon.

Your day begins with a private drive toward the Cambodian border to witness the noon mass at the Cao Dai Temple, a colorful masterpiece representing a unique hybrid of the world’s great religions. After a riverside feast, you will go underground to explore the Cu Chi Tunnels, the “iron land” that changed the course of history. To end your day in style, you’ll bypass the city traffic by boarding a private speedboat, cruising down the Saigon River as the sun begins to set.
