An In-Depth Look at the Tour Experience

Day 1: Exploring Vung Tau’s Coastal Charm

Your journey begins early with a comfortable air-conditioned vehicle picking you up from Ho Chi Minh City. The drive to Vung Tau takes you through scenic countryside, setting the scene for a day full of sights and stories.

First stop: Dinh Mountain and Sui Tiên Waterfall. We loved the chance to hike through lush greenery and enjoy the peaceful sound of flowing water. These spots are less crowded than some other attractions, making them perfect for a quiet start. The hike isn’t strenuous but offers lovely vistas and a break from city noise.

Next, you’ll visit the Song Vnh Church, a peaceful spot with its simple yet charming architecture, perfect for a quick photo and a moment of reflection. Following that, you’ll ascend over 800 steps to reach the Vung Tau Jesus Statue. The view from the top is truly stunning — a sweeping panorama of the coast, the city, and the endless sea. Tour guides often highlight the statue’s significance as a symbol of hope and faith, making it a meaningful stop.

The Vung Tau Lighthouse sits on a breezy hilltop, and we appreciated its historical charm alongside the spectacular views. This lighthouse has been guiding ships since the colonial era, adding a sense of maritime history to your day.

The afternoon offers a scenic beachside drive, stopping at a cozy café for refreshing coconut drinks or coffee with a view. Here, the relaxed pace allows you to absorb the atmosphere—perfect for those who love a mix of sightseeing and leisure.

Finally, the day ends with an exploration of local street food stalls, where you can sample authentic Vietnamese snacks and dishes, like fresh seafood or crispy banh mi. This part of the day is often praised for giving travelers a taste of Vietnamese everyday life.

Day 2: From Fishing Villages to Dunes and Beaches

The second day transports you from the city to the countryside and dunes of Mui Ne. It starts with a visit to a quiet fishing village, where you can observe local boats, fishermen at work, and perhaps even see some early morning catches. The simple, hardworking coastal life is a stark contrast to the urban hustle and offers a glimpse into Vietnam’s traditional livelihood.

Next, you’ll wander through Fairy Stream, a shallow, gently flowing waterway famous for its colorful sand and surreal scenery. Travelers often mention how peaceful and photogenic this spot is — a real highlight for nature lovers and Instagram enthusiasts alike.

A visit to a dragon fruit garden lets you taste the sweet, vibrant fruit directly from the farm. This farm visit is a real treat for foodies and those interested in agricultural practices. You can sample freshly picked fruit, learning how this tropical treasure is cultivated.

The highlight of the afternoon is the ATV ride over the sand dunes. We loved the feeling of racing over soft dunes with the wind in our hair—an exciting and unique way to experience Mui Ne’s desert-like landscape. The sand dunes are expansive, and the ride offers plenty of photo opportunities. For many, this is the most memorable part of the tour.

Afterward, you’ll have time to relax on Mui Ne’s beaches, dip your toes in the water, or lounge at seaside cafes, soaking in the sun and listening to the waves. The tour wraps up with more street food, where you can savor local flavors one last time before heading back to Ho Chi Minh City.
