HOI AN TO VINH MOC TUNNLES PRIVATE CAR ITINERARY
At your preferred departure time, our experienced driver will pick you up from your hotel in Hoi An and begin the journey to the famous Vinh Moc Tunnels. As this is a private transfer, you are free to choose your departure time, although we highly recommend leaving early in the morning to make the most of your day. Along the way, we will stop at several historical sites and scenic spots, allowing you to relax, take photos, and learn more about Vietnam’s fascinating history.
Hai Van Pass
Our first stop is the spectacular Hai Van Pass, one of the most scenic mountain roads in Vietnam. Stretching for 21 kilometers along the Truong Son Mountains, the pass offers breathtaking views of the East Sea, lush mountains, and Lang Co Bay. Take your time to enjoy the fresh air and capture some unforgettable photos.
Horror Highway (Highway of Horror)
Continuing north, we will visit the Highway of Horror, one of the most tragic sites of the Vietnam War. During the Easter Offensive in 1972, thousands of civilians lost their lives while attempting to flee the fierce fighting in Quang Tri Province. Today, the memorial stands as a solemn reminder of the devastating impact of war.
Long Hung Church
Next, we stop at Long Hung Church, an important historical landmark built in 1955. The church became a fierce battlefield during the 81-day Battle of Quang Tri and still bears visible scars from heavy bombardments and gunfire. It remains a powerful symbol of resilience and peace.
Doc Mieu Firebase
We then visit Doc Mieu Firebase, a former American military base that was once part of the famous McNamara Line. Located just south of the Ben Hai River, this strategic site played an important role during the Vietnam War and offers valuable insights into the history of the Demilitarized Zone (DMZ).
Hien Luong Bridge and Ben Hai River
The journey continues to Hien Luong Bridge and the Ben Hai River, the symbolic dividing line between North and South Vietnam from 1954 to 1975. Standing on the bridge, you can learn about the country’s reunification history and appreciate the significance of this historic landmark.
Vinh Moc Tunnels
Finally, we arrive at the remarkable Vinh Moc Tunnels, an underground village built to protect local residents from heavy bombing during the war. The tunnel complex consists of three levels, reaching depths of up to 23 meters, and includes living quarters, meeting rooms, freshwater wells, clinics, and even a maternity room where 17 babies were born. Exploring this incredible underground network offers a unique insight into the resilience and determination of the Vietnamese people.
After visiting the tunnels, our driver will take you back to your hotel in Hoi An, marking the end of your Hoi An to Vinh Moc Tunnels private car tour. Culture Pham Travel wishes you a memorable and meaningful journey through Vietnam’s historic DMZ.
Optional Stop (Extra Charge)
For travelers interested in exploring more wartime history, we can arrange a visit to the Khe Sanh Combat Base for an additional USD 20. This former U.S. Marine base was the site of one of the most famous battles of the Vietnam War. On the way, we will also stop at Dakrong Bridge, an important section of the legendary Ho Chi Minh Trail that once connected supply routes to southern battlefields.
