Meet your English-speaking guide and step aboard our modern luxury speedboat. Leave the loud streets behind as we set off on the water.
Cruise smoothly along the Saigon River. Feel the fresh air and watch as the towering city skyline slowly fades into peaceful, green river landscapes.
Step off the boat to explore this unique, mystical temple floating on the river. Learn about its deep spiritual significance, local beliefs, and stunning architecture from your expert guide.
Continue the journey by gliding around the Thanh Da Peninsula, an oasis of lush greenery and quiet riverside life right in the middle of the city.
Sit back in your premium leather seat and enjoy a complimentary cold Saigon Beer or Pepsi as the late afternoon sun sets a golden glow over the water.
Arrive back at the pier refreshed, having experienced a calm and completely different side of Ho Chi Minh City.
Had a great experience with Saigon River Tour to the Cu Chi tunnels. From booking followed by the WhatsApp communications to arrange and confirm hotel pick up was seamless. The speedboat took about 1 hour and was a different way to experience the city and river. We arrived at the wharf which is right at the Cu Chi tunnels site, and were the first group of tourists- so got a head start on the other tourists coming by bus. Mr Hung, our guide, was so welcoming, funny and informative. […]
We did the Saigon Watertour to the Cu Chi Tunnels, guided by Ms. Moon.
It’s true — the boat trip to the Cu Chi Tunnels takes only about an hour and is likely much more time-efficient than a bus ride. The downside is that the boat makes quite a bit of noise at high speed. But it does let you see the river along the way.
The Cu Chi Tunnels themselves are a tourist hotspot. Fortunately we arrived early (departure at 7:40) so we beat most of the buses. […]
Such a great day out! Taking the speedboat to the Cu Chi Tunnels made the trip even more enjoyable. Chister was a fantastic guide—friendly, knowledgeable, and great at making the history interesting. The crew were also amazing: welcoming, attentive, and professional throughout. Highly recommend this tour!
