There is a lot to see beyond the usual sights in Ho Chi Minh City. From the Cu Chi Tunnels and Mekong Delta to street food by motorbike and dinner cruises along the Saigon River, a tour can make it easier to experience more of Vietnam without spending your holiday planning every detail.
At The Hammock Hotel, guests can choose from a range of local tours and day trips, with options covering history, culture, food, nature and destinations beyond the city. Whether you have half a day or a few days to spare, there is a tour to fit your plans.
Discover Cu Chi, Cao Dai and Vietnam’s History
For many visitors, the Cu Chi Tunnels are one of the most memorable places to visit outside Ho Chi Minh City. The Hammock Hotel offers several ways to experience the tunnels, depending on how much time you have and how you would like to travel.
The Cu Chi half-day tour by bus is a practical option if you want to visit the tunnels while keeping the rest of your day free. For a different experience, the Cu Chi full-day tour by speedboat offers another way to make the journey part of the adventure.
You can also combine the Cu Chi Tunnels with other cultural sights. The Cu Chi Tunnels & Mekong Delta one-day tour brings two well-known destinations together in one day, while the Cao Dai Temple & Cu Chi Temple option gives guests another way to combine history and culture.
For an experience further outside the city, the Black Virgin Mountain & Cao Dai Holy Mass tour takes you to Tay Ninh, where you can discover Cao Dai culture and visit one of southern Vietnam’s best-known mountain destinations.
The Explore page also features a Cu Chi Classic Tour, lasting around six hours, with a visit to the tunnels, a short documentary, jungle traps and a taste of tapioca. Hotel pickup is included, and an optional shooting range is available for an additional fee.
Slow Down in the Mekong Delta
If you want to see a different side of southern Vietnam, the Mekong Delta offers a chance to move beyond the busy streets of Saigon and experience waterways, villages and local life.
The Classic Mekong Delta full-day tour to My Tho and Ben Tre is one option for guests who want a traditional introduction to the region. There are also alternatives for travellers looking for something different, including the Mekong Delta one-day Cai Be – Vinh Long tour and the Mekong Delta one-day Nontouristy tour.
For guests who want to spend more time in the Mekong Delta, the Cai Rang Floating Market tours are available as one-day, two-day and three-day options. This gives you more flexibility if you would rather not fit everything into a single day.
The Explore page also highlights a full-day Cu Chi Tunnels and Mekong Delta experience. It combines a morning visit to the tunnels with a trip into the Mekong Delta, including a motorboat cruise, coconut candy and honey tasting, and travel through local villages by sampan and xe loi. The tour takes around 10 hours and includes lunch and hotel pickup.
See Saigon Through Food, Streets and the River
You do not have to leave Ho Chi Minh City to make a tour part of your stay. Some of the available experiences let you explore the city itself from a different perspective.
The Sai Gon Sightseeing Tour by Motorbike is an option for guests who want to see more of the city while travelling through its streets. If food is higher on your list, the Sai Gon Street Food by Motorbike tour combines sightseeing with the chance to discover local flavours.
The Explore page’s Motorbike Culinary Tour gives an idea of the experience, taking guests through some of Saigon’s liveliest streets with stops for banh xeo, banh mi and fresh seafood, followed by a cocktail at a rooftop bar with skyline views. The experience lasts around four hours and includes food, one drink and hotel pickup.
For something more relaxed, the Dinner on Cruise along Sai Gon River is an evening option that lets you see the city from the water. The current Explore page describes the Sai Gon Dinner Cruise as an approximately four-hour experience with dinner and a private table, with set menu or buffet options depending on the boat.
Take a Day Trip Beyond Saigon
If you have more time during your stay, there are also tours that take you further from the city.
The Can Gio Mangrove one-day tour offers a chance to trade the urban landscape for a more natural setting. For a beach escape, the Vung Tau Beach one-day tour is another option for guests looking to spend a day by the coast.
If you have a little more time available, the Mui Ne Beach two-day tour gives you the opportunity to turn a day trip into a longer getaway. These options work particularly well for guests who are staying in Ho Chi Minh City for several days and want to add another destination to their Vietnam itinerary.
With so many choices, you can choose a tour based on the time you have rather than trying to fit your whole trip around one fixed itinerary.
