Phu My
Phu My Shore Excursions
Explore Phu My, the gateway to Ho Chi Minh City and the Mekong Delta, on a private shore excursion with Bakadi Dreams. Phu My is the cruise port for one of Southeast Asia’s most exciting destinations – the vibrant megacity of Saigon (Ho Chi Minh City) and the lush, tropical waterways of the Mekong Delta. Whether you’re after history, culture, food or nature, this corner of Vietnam delivers unforgettable experiences.
🏙️ Saigon – A City That Never Sleeps
Ho Chi Minh City, still lovingly called Saigon by locals, is a whirlwind of energy. Explore the historic Reunification Palace, the sobering War Remnants Museum and the buzzing streets of Chinatown. Take in panoramic views from Landmark 81 – Southeast Asia’s tallest building – or the iconic Bitexco Financial Tower. And don’t miss the legendary street food scene: steaming phở, crispy bánh mì, fresh spring rolls and the world’s best Vietnamese coffee, all sampled from a traditional cyclo (bicycle rickshaw).
🕳️ The Legendary Cu Chi Tunnels
Just outside the city lies one of Vietnam’s most significant historical sites: the Cu Chi Tunnel network. This vast underground system stretches over 250 kilometres and was used during the Vietnam War for shelter, supply routes and military operations. Walk through sections open to visitors, see ingenious booby traps and hidden entrances, and hear the incredible stories of life underground. Available as a half-day tour or combined with a full-day Mekong Delta adventure.
🛶 The Mekong Delta – Life on the Water
South of Saigon, the mighty Mekong River fans out into a lush, tropical delta of palm-lined canals, floating markets and fruit orchards. Cruise past coconut groves on a traditional sampan boat, visit a coconut candy workshop in Ben Tre, sample exotic fruits at a local orchard in My Tho and experience the colourful chaos of a floating market where traders sell produce directly from their boats. It’s a world apart from the city – and one of Vietnam’s most authentic experiences.
