Overview

Authentic History with a Veteran Guide (Away from the Crowds)

Your Choice: We offer the standard Ben Dinh route or the Ben Duoc (No Crowds) option for a quieter, more authentic jungle experience.

  • Before heading to the tunnels, we will visit a special workshop where art meets humanity. Here, you will witness the intricate process of creating traditional Vietnamese lacquerware. What makes this place special is that many of the skilled artisans are locals with disabilities, including victims of Agent Orange (a lingering effect of the war). Watching them turn eggshells and mother-of-pearl into masterpieces is a humbling and inspiring experience.
