What time do the Cu Chi Tunnels open and how much time is needed for them?

The Cu Chi Tunnels are open for visits daily from 07:00 to 17:00.

How much time is needed for the visit? To explore the entire complex and take a leisurely walk with entry into the tunnels, you should allocate approximately 3-4 hours. If you plan additional activities, such as visiting the shooting range, the time may increase.

Considering that the journey from the center of Ho Chi Minh City and back takes about 1.5-2 hours one way (depending on traffic), the entire trip will take a full day or at least 6-7 hours. That is why most group tours are offered as half-day excursions (usually morning ones, to avoid heat and crowds).

When planning your visit, consider:

• It's better to arrive at opening time or in the afternoon to avoid the influx of tourist groups.
• It's hot and humid on the territory, wear comfortable clothing, a hat, and bring water.
• Visiting the narrow tunnels is not recommended for people with claustrophobia, heart problems, or back issues.
