Enjoy a family-friendly day trip from Ho Chi Minh City to Vung Tau, exploring scenic viewpoints, historic landmarks, and relaxing on beautiful Back Beach for a fun and memorable coastal adventure.

Escape the urban energy of Ho Chi Minh City for a refreshing coastal odyssey to Vung Tau, Vietnam’s premier seaside retreat. Your journey into this scenic peninsula begins at the majestic Jesus Christ Statue, one of the largest of its kind in Asia. Perched atop Small Mountain, the climb rewards you with breathtaking, 360-degree panoramic views of the shimmering East Sea and the city below. From these spiritual heights, the tour continues to the rugged beauty of Mui Nghinh Phong (Cape of Welcoming Winds), where the dramatic cliffs meet the crashing waves, offering some of the most stunning coastal photography opportunities in Southern Vietnam.

After immersing yourself in the local heritage at the historic Dinh Thang Tam (Whale Temple) and enjoying a curated lunch of regional specialties, you will step back in time at the elegant White Palace. Once a colonial summer residence for French governors and Vietnamese royalty, this architectural gem offers a fascinating glimpse into the area's regal past. To conclude your day of discovery, relax and feel the sea breeze at the famous Back Beach, where the golden sands and rolling surf provide the perfect tranquil finale before your comfortable return to the city.
