Your Vung Tau adventure begins with a comfortable morning transfer from Ho Chi Minh City. Upon arrival, the coastline greets you with fresh sea breezes and endless golden sands. The morning is reserved for relaxation at Thuy Van Beach, where you can swim, unwind, or simply take a peaceful walk along the shoreline.
After a satisfying seafood lunch at a local restaurant, the afternoon reveals the cultural side of Vung Tau. You’ll ascend the towering Jesus Christ Statue for sweeping ocean views, then visit Thang Tam Temple (Whale Temple) to uncover the region’s maritime traditions. A stop at the elegant White Palace offers a glimpse of French colonial charm, before ending the day at Nghinh Phong Cape, a dramatic headland with panoramic views over the East Sea.
By evening, you’ll return to Ho Chi Minh City with a perfect blend of relaxation, culture, and coastal scenery — an unforgettable snapshot of Vung Tau in just one day.
One of the biggest reasons to join the Discover Vung Tau Beach Full Day Tour is the chance to explore a wide range of attractions that highlight the city’s natural beauty, history, and spiritual culture. Each stop in the itinerary has its own story and unique charm, ensuring that your one-day experience is both enriching and memorable. Let’s take a closer look at each of these must-see attractions.
The journey begins with a visit to Thuy Van Beach, also known as Back Beach. Unlike the busier Front Beach, this area is quieter and more peaceful, stretching almost 10 kilometers with soft golden sand. Here, you can:
For many visitors, this moment of unwinding by the beach sets the tone for a refreshing day.
Towering above the city on Nho Mountain, the Jesus Christ Statue is not only a religious symbol but also one of the most iconic landmarks of Vung Tau. Standing at 32 meters tall, it is the largest Christ statue in Asia. Inside the statue, a spiral staircase leads up to the shoulders, where you’ll be rewarded with sweeping panoramic views of the city and the ocean. The climb can be a bit challenging but completely worth the effort for the unforgettable vista.
The Whale Temple, officially known as Thang Tam Temple, offers fascinating insight into the spiritual life of local fishermen. Vietnamese coastal communities believe whales are sacred creatures that protect them at sea. The temple houses whale skeletons and shrines dedicated to these “guardians of the sea.” Visiting this place not only adds cultural depth to your trip but also helps you understand the connection between Vung Tau’s residents and the ocean they depend on.
Perched on a hill overlooking the ocean, the White Palace (Bach Dinh) is a French colonial mansion built in the late 19th century. With its striking white façade, arched windows, and red-tiled roof, the building reflects the elegance of European architecture combined with tropical design. Inside, you can admire antique furniture, historical relics, and exhibition rooms. The gardens and balconies also offer beautiful views, making this stop a highlight for history enthusiasts and photography lovers alike.
Finally, the tour takes you to Nghinh Phong Cape, translated as “Cape of Welcoming Winds.” This natural headland juts out into the East Sea, creating a dramatic meeting point of land and water. The cape is known for its strong sea breezes, breathtaking scenery, and peaceful atmosphere. It’s also a popular spot for taking photos, thanks to its rugged rocks and wide horizon. For many travelers, this marks the perfect conclusion to the Discover Vung Tau Beach Full Day Tour, offering one last chance to enjoy the coastal charm before heading back to the city.
A successful trip isn’t just about the places you visit — it’s also about how well you prepare and experience them. To help you get the best out of the Discover Vung Tau Beach Full Day Tour, here are some detailed travel tips that cover everything from packing essentials to cultural etiquette.
Since the tour includes both swimming at the beach and visits to cultural sites, it’s important to pack appropriately. Bring lightweight clothes for hot weather, swimwear, a towel, sunscreen, sunglasses, and a hat to protect yourself from the sun. For temple visits, modest clothing that covers your shoulders and knees is recommended out of respect for local customs.
The coastal climate in Vung Tau can be quite hot and sunny, especially during midday. Make sure you drink plenty of water and reapply sunscreen regularly. Don’t forget to bring a small bottle of water with you even though one is provided, especially if you plan to climb the Jesus Statue where shade is limited.
The tour is rated “Easy,” but some activities, such as climbing the steps to the top of the Jesus Christ Statue, require moderate effort. Don’t feel pressured — if you prefer, you can enjoy the view from below. Always listen to your body and rest if needed.
When visiting Thang Tam Temple, be mindful of the spiritual significance of the site. Speak softly, dress appropriately, and avoid disruptive behavior. Respecting local customs will enrich your experience and show appreciation for the traditions you’re witnessing.
The tour offers countless photo opportunities, from panoramic ocean views to colonial architecture. While it’s tempting to take photos constantly, don’t forget to put the camera down and enjoy the surroundings with your own eyes. Balance capturing memories with living in the moment.
Vung Tau’s weather can change quickly, especially during the rainy season. Check the forecast before departure and bring a light raincoat if necessary. Keep in mind that traffic on the way back to Ho Chi Minh City can be busy, so the tour might return later than scheduled. Stay flexible with your evening plans.
This Discover Vung Tau Beach Full Day Tour is designed with flexibility in mind, making it appealing to a wide range of travelers:
