About
Let us take you on a journey to some of the world's most significant sites. Visit the historical Cu Chi tunnels, the laidback backwaters of the lush Mekong Delta and the UNESCO-listed Can Gio Biosphere Reserve. We offer authentic experiences in areas that can only be accessed via the region's scenic waterways. Cruise between verdant rice paddies and mirror-like pools along the tributaries and canals of the river of nine dragons - the Mekong Delta. Step back into Vietnam's not-too-distant past at the Cu Chi Tunnels to experience wartime life. Cruise mangrove forests off Vietnam's southern coastline and learn about the diverse flora and fauna of captivating Can Gio. Fall into the local rhythm and take time to enjoy the here and now. Connect with Vietnam's landscapes, warm people and perhaps, even yourself.

There are lots of tours offering the Cu Chi tunnels however this tour sounded so appealing travelling on a boat rather than a bus/limousine. It didn’t disappoint and we loved seeing the city and landscape from the river on the way there and back. Our tour guide was very knowledgeable and gave us the perfect amount of time walking around whilst showing us the tunnels and traps. The food was really good too and we had plenty of water and fruit onboard the boat. This tour costs a little more than the average bus tour to the tunnels but it’s worth every penny and I would highly recommend it to anyone thinking of going.

It was great to get to the tunnels by speedboat and arrive earlier than the throng arriving by bus. Our guide Hai and his team were brilliant throughout the morning.
The tunnels area itself was a real education. It was great to learn more of the construction and the way the VC lived underground. The various traps they made for the US forces to fall into didn’t leave much to the imagination 😬
I would definitely recommend this tour as a must do when staying in Ho Chi Minh City.

We took the Cu Chi Tunnel Tours (via speedboat) with Les Rives. Money well spent, we managed to shave almost 1 hour travelling time per leg. The tour departed from the port just opposite Renaissance Riverside Saigon Hotel. We were greeted by our tour guide at 7ish in our hotel lobby and was chauffeured to the port via a company van. Once on board, we were served with simple pastries and banh mi for breakfast. Throughout the journey up stream we had fruits and 'always cold' drinks. Fantastic top class service, there was actually a F&B person dedicated to each boat just to handle our refreshments. The journey took a little over an hour, we were one of the first few groups that reach Cu Chi Tunnel, hence we practically had the place to ourselves the entire guided tour. Our Les Rives local guide spoke excellent English and was very knowledgeable with the tunnel and war history, giving us lots of interesting information. Expect to spend around 2 hours here, trying out the guns at the shouting range, making Vietnamese Whiskey, going into the tunnels and a good history lesson on the Vietnam war. We ended the guided tour with a 7 course Asian lunch at location before we depart back to the city port. Once again, as we entered the boat and began our journey back, we were served with cold drinks and more fruits 🤣. Return journey was slightly faster, expect to reach back to port around 1.30pm. Hence giving you enough time for your own activities in the city.

Great trip from HCM to CanTho by Boat. Very well organized, professional, friendly and helpful crews. Special thanks to Kha Nguyen, very experienced tour guide. We definitely can see how much passions & efforts he put on during the trip. Whether entertaining customers with stories for what we see or carefully checking every single detail to make sure all are safe and sound!

Highly recommended tour for foreigners also for local people who want to have a completely different experience in exploding Mekong delta area!

We took the tour by boat to the Cu Chi tunnels. Guide was really knowledgeable and looked after all of our needs. On the boat we were greeted with fruit and banh mi for breakfast. Plenty of cold water. Also, cold brew coffee was served. We made it to the tunnels before most of the bus tours, so it wasn’t crowded. The guide did a great job with explanations. Crawling thru the tunnels was optional, but you could still get a good look. I felt too claustrophobic to climb through but the guide was patient and let us all take a look and decide if we wanted to go. Lunch at the Riverside restaurant with the group was served family style. It was plentiful and delicious. More fruit was served on the boat ride back. If you want a scenic way to visit the tunnels by boat, book this tour. You won’t regret it!

We just moved to Saigon and what better way to get your bearings on things than to see it all from the water?!? The boat crew were professional, personable, and stocked the boat with all the necessities (water, sodas, great snacks, fresh fruit that they cut throughout the journey, bug spray, and hand sanitizer). On a hot day, a speed boat is what you need and by the time the sun sets and you take in the beauty of the city lights, the temperature is perfect! We were so greatful to find a tour that we could comfortably do with our kids during the heat of the rainy season. We all had a blast and have recommended it already to several of our friends. When the family can finally come join us from overseas we will definitely be taking them on this tour! Complete with stop for fresh coconuts and the floating temple! Thank you Les Rives!

This was one of our favourite activities in Vietnam. Going by speed boat to the tunnel network not only beats the traffic but also the other tourists who arrive by the bus load. We were guided by Kha who was knowledgeable, a great storyteller and spoke perfect English. Crawling though 100 meters of the tunnels is a fascinating and humbling experience, but not for the faint hearted.

Perfectly organized, responsive and on time. Nice and enthusiastic guide (Hung). The boat ride is very efficient (and just not too long) and allows for different views. Much better than being stuck in traffic in a bus. You can also arrive before the crowd (to the price of waking up early…). A bit expensive but everything included, including lunch. Recommended.

We were so happy we took the time out to spend the two days on the Mekong. Han was a fantastic tour guide and we were amazed how much we saw and enjoyed watching life on the river. We were glad we chose a local company and we’re grateful for the constant replenishing of iced water and fruit on the boat. We highly recommend this tour if you have time as the day trip only takes you to the Mekong delta the mouth of the river. We especially enjoyed drifting down a canal in a Sampan so peaceful quiet and meditative!
