Water Puppet Show & Dinner Cruise
Spend an unforgettable evening in Ho Chi Minh City: enjoy a traditional water puppet show before cruising down the Saigon River and indulging in a delicious dinner on board the boat.
Water Puppet Show & Dinner Cruise Itinerary
On the evening of your activity, you'll be picked up from your hotel in Ho Chi Minh City and taken to a traditional theatre where you'll attend one of Vietnam's most emblematic cultural events: a water puppet show.
Through mimicry and music, the exquisitely-painted wooden water puppets recreate traditional Vietnamese folkloric myths and legends as they have done since the 11th century, when farmers first began the tradition performing on flooded rice paddies. You'll be captivated by the fascinating show and its vibrant colours - the result is unique!
At the end of your water puppet show, you'll board a typical Vietnamese boat and set sail down the Saigon River for a peaceful evening cruise.
While you take in the spectacular views of the Ho Chi Minh City skyline in the splendour of its night-time illuminations, you'll enjoy a different side of Vietnamese culture: its famed cuisine. Indulge in a delicious buffet meal on board the boat, before finishing back at the original departure point.
After an unforgettable evening's entertainment, you'll be dropped back off at your hotel.
