Tour Options
Itinerary
Pick up at the port and depart to Vung Tau beach where you can relax and enjoy some fun under the sun.
Bach Dinh, or the White Palace of Vung Tau City is located at 4 Tran Phu Street, on the slop of Big Mountain. Standing 50 meter above the sea level, White Palace has its French name which is La Villa Blanche.
The 32 meter high Statue of Jesus that sits atop of a small mountain overlooking the sea (The Nui Nho). You can see the statue of Christ the King, one of the important symbols of Vung Tau, from all directions in the city. But the best is still climbing to the top of Little Mountain and admire the statue. Then, climb the observatory in the statue and watch the panorama of the city and the surrounding sea.
Thich Ca Phat Dai (Platform of Shakyamuni Buddha) is a notable Theravada Buddhist temple in the coastal city of Vung Tau in southern Vietnam. It lies to the northwest of the Lon mountain and was built between 1961 and 1963 when it was opened. It is set on a plot of around five hectares, with a Zen Buddhist monastery at the foot of the plot and the Thích Ca Phật Đài at the top.
Lying on the right of the Thang Tam’s Holy Temple, the Whale Tomb was built at the same time as the Temple of the Five Eliments at the end of the 19th century. The Tomb presently displays a huge skeleton of a whale collected by the local fishermen over a hundred years ago.

I had an awesome time on this tour with guide Hillbilly Jack and driver Mr. Anh. I was promptly met at the cruise port and we drove to the beautiful seaside town of Vung Tao. Jack was very knowledgeable about the history and culture of Vietnam and I got so much excellent information. He’s also got a great sense of humor which added to the fun. We visited pagodas, temples, a monastery and a fish market. We also had some delicious local food. Mr. Anh is a skilled driver and safely navigated the cars and scooters. If you book this tour you’ll be guaranteed a fun and educational day.
Hi Stephen Crome, So glad to hear you had such an awesome day with Hillbilly Jack and Mr. Anh! 🙌 Jack will be stoked to know you enjoyed his stories (and his humour 😄), and we’ll definitely pass your kind words on to Mr. Anh as well — he’ll really appreciate it. Vung Tau is such a great mix of culture, local life, and coastal views, so it’s fantastic you got to experience it all — especially the food! 🍜 Thanks again for choosing us, and we hope to see you back in Vietnam for another adventure soon! 🇻🇳✨
We had excellent service from the moment that we booked our tour as we got the confirmation quickly and acknowledgement of the details that I sent about my mobility issues. I had several WhatsApp messages in the days before our tour to introduce Hillbilly Jack, our tour guide, and to confirm the meeting time and place with photographs of the vehicle and lunch menu. We requested to change one item on the menu and this was done promptly. Jack was waiting at the arranged time and place with the clean and comfortable vehicle. Jack was knowledgeable and enthusiastic about all his country has to offer. He was able to accommodate the changes that we requested as the tour progressed as my mobility issues were causing some problems. The included lunch was delicious and the food was plentiful. Overall, we had a great time. Thank you Jack and your driver.
Hi Isabel, Thank you so much for this wonderful and detailed review! It was truly our pleasure to host you. We believe that travel should be accessible for everyone, so we are very glad to hear that our communication regarding your mobility needs and the menu changes gave you peace of mind. Jack and our driver were more than happy to adjust the pace to ensure you were comfortable throughout the day. We'll be sure to pass on your thanks to them—especially about the 'clean and comfortable' ride! We hope to see you again soon. Saigon Tours Team
I cant recommend Jack From Indochine - Người Từ Đông Dương enough! Jack knew, and explained the local history and culture very well. He had a fantastic sense of humour and had us laughing all day, as you can see from his fantastic photos. It was a day I will always remember! If you ever need a tour guide in Vietnam look him up. You wont be dissapointed.
