How to get to Vung Tau?

Popular Destinations in Vung Tau

Suoi Nghe sheep farm – sheep field in Ba Ria – Vung Tau is one of the best photography destinations rated by the Vietnamese. Suoi Nghe sheep field is the residence of 3 herds of sheep, 150 sheep each. At first, the sheep were raised here just for meat and fiber. However, since more and more people visit the herds for sightseeing and photo-taking, they then raise the sheep to serve as a photography spot for the tourists.

Cha Va River is home to fishermen. This place is where you can find the fishing villages within the country life.

Long Hai – Secluded Private Beach

From a long time ago, Long Hai was well known as an attractive but remote resort area. It recently gains its fame from a few articles about its seclusion but in overall, the town is still less crowded than its nearby brothers. Tourist attractions are scarce but there are many resorts lying alongside the beach not only here in Long Hai, but also Bình Châu, Hồ Cốc, and Hồ Tràm.

I’ve been to Alma Oasis and An Hoa and they are absolutely ideal for a sloth-man like me. Every morning and night I swallowed a great deal of food and then I went swimming, relaxing on the shore and enjoying the sun. That was one of the rare cases which I offer those pools, beaches, and gyms a chance to function.

Here are a few resorts that might catch your eyes:

Besides fancy resorts, beach villas, and awesome beaches, let’s take a look at a few places of interest that you might want to check them out.

Ngoc Xuong Ecotourism Site

It is hard to find such a beautiful green palette like this place, Ngoc Xuong ecotourism site. You can take a seat in a wooden hut built next to a small stream and watch animals herds passing by while enjoying your coffee cup (or almighty coconut!). When I was there, a drink only cost about 15.000 VND and there was no entrance fee.

All these awesome ideas came from a candid and naive farmer whose name is Năm Ngọc. He used to run an orchard here but “got enough of it. I want to try something new.” Unless he started learning some capitalist’s tricks, the place would be still as pure as wild cows’ milk which is not heavily drained.

Minh Dam Guerilla Bases

 

In the area of Long Hai Townlet, there is  Minh Dam Mountain whose length is 9 kilometers and altitude at about 350 meters. The whole mountain with its massive cave system was a menacing threat to France and United States’ soldiers back then since local militias captured the place and used it as an advantage point to ambush them. Initially, local residents called this mountain Thuy Van as the peak is usually embraced by clouds. In Vietnam Wars, this place was renamed Minh Dam in remembrance of two officers whose names are Bui Cong Minh – the secretary of Long Dien District Committee, and Mac Thanh Dam – the vice secretary. During the wartime of Vietnam against the United States, Minh Dam took a critical role as a supply point for Vietnam units and hence suffered sanguinary battles and many intense bombing waves. But those days are over. The mountain is once again replete with bright colored flowers. Minh Dam now becomes an enjoyable historical site for tourists and local residents to learn about the past wars.

The post East of Vung Tau | Bits of Travel Guide appeared first on Maze Vietnam.

You can visit some places of interest early in the morning or late in the afternoon to avoid the blazing sun, especially Jesus Christ Statue, or Cannon Fort. Since those two places are located on mountains and the roads are crooked and rugged, going when the weather is cloudy will save you from unwanted sweats. I really mean it, save them.

There are better places for you to let them go. Bai Truoc (Front Beach), Bai Sau (Back Beach), Bai Dua, and Bai Dau Beach are the options that you can consider. Check out the post I wrote Must-Visit Places for more information. In short, Front Beach is the heart of this city where all activities converge. Back Beach and Thuy Van Street area are places where you would love to spend your nights. If you and your partners prefer quiet areas, there are Bai Dau and Bai Dua which are less crowded than other beaches but are still close to the main area. They are small beaches with a lot of rocks, hence it is less favorable.

How about seafood and where are the restaurants that can fulfill your appetite? Check out my article about What and Where to Eat in Vung Tau. There are many great places around Front and Back Beach area. Tourist scams and rip-offs, sadly, still exist in Vung Tau. Therefore, for your own sake, I advise you to avoid peddlers unless you are good at bargaining and you know the prices well. Therefore, the strategy is to stick to such places that are big and crowded. Moreover, one small tip for you to note down is “always double-check”, especially when you pay and before you leave somewhere.

About transportation, hydrofoil has a limited timetable in which the earliest trip is at 08:00 AM and the last hydrofoil departs at 04:00 PM. Therefore, I don’t recommend using hydrofoil for a 1-day trip to Vung Tau. If you drive there by yourself, consider checking our guide How to Get to Vung Tau.

These are a few simple notes. Let us know if you have any more questions. Below is an example for trip planners.

Resorts & Hotels

If you like quiet and less crowded places, you should consider many beautiful resorts on this street.

Fang Pub

Fang Pub Vung Tau is a branch of a famous brand in Saigon. If you feel so bored and do not know where to go, let’s get here. Staffs and other people here are very friendly since when it comes to music, there is no border nor boundary. Everyone dances or sings along to the good tunes. The pub has live performances almost every night. Don’t hesitate! This place surely knows how to bright your boring night.

Black Pearl Bar Vung tau

This one is a great bar that has awesome entertainment and pirate decoration style. The bar plays a wide variety of music genres here but occasionally, there are bands playing rock and metal music. They really know how to throw a great party. However, there are a few complaints about their music and drink prices. The music volume is sometimes too loud and beer price is ridiculously expensive. Drinking something before getting here might be a good idea.

Prices: 200.000 – 500.000 VND / 1 person

Gazebo Beach Front Lounge & Cafe

Being one of the coolest lounges in Vung Tau with a magnificent sea view and the stage of Hip Hop and Deep House music, this is a golden location in Vung Tau. They serve coffee and drink from the morning until evening then the real show begins at seven o’clock. The price is a bit high but if you compare with the quality and the scenery, that is totally acceptable. If I have to pick one favorite lounge or bar in Vung Tau, it’s hard to come up with a good decision but Gazebo is definitely worth considering.

Prices: 100.000 – 500.000 VND / 1 person

Vung Tau Beach Club

Vung Tau Beach Club is not only a great bar to get relaxed by the beach but also a watersports venue, a kitesurfing school which is situated on the Back Beach in Vung Tau. It is a valuable gem but unfortunately, not many tourists hear about this place. Beach Club has a great spirit and alcohol list, great music and totally relaxed atmosphere which is so unique and cannot be found elsewhere.

Address: #8 Thuy Van Street | Opp Sammy Hotel, Vung Tau, Vietnam

Vung Tau Night Market

A perfect street for all the food lovers out there lies right here waiting for the one! Yes, it is you! There are many options for you to spend a few bucks and coins (and receive a full stomach that you can’t even walk back to the hotel.) You may get all kinds of food here but mostly they are seafood such as snails, shrimps, octopuses, and fishes. There is grilled octopus with okras for 70K per serving. There are wok-fried mud crab claws with tamarind dish which is 70K for 10 claws. There is grilled mussel sold for 10K each. There is stir fried razor clams dish which is about 60K each. And there are countless amazing dishes more that are waiting for you! Sounds interesting already, doesn’t it?

Address: Behind Imperial Hotel, ward Thang Tam, Vung Tau, Vietnam.

Thành Phát Seafood Restaurant

One of the best local seafood restaurant you may find here, the restaurant is located on a beautiful shore at which you may want to stare all day long. First, you will be amazed by their grand big long menu filled with awesome fresh and high-quality seafood options such as crab, prawn, sweet snail, saltwater fish, oyster, etc. Second, fast services and smiling staffs even at the peak hours surely bring you pleasant surprises when you write this restaurant down on your must-visit list. Moreover, all dishes have a fixed price or price range so don’t be scared of being ripped off while dining here. While you enjoy your tasty dishes, pause sometimes to enjoy the pleasant winds, too.

Phone: 064 383 63 45

Cây Bàng Restaurant

Cay Bang Restaurant is a reliable brand from the get-go of Vung Tau. It is built right on windy Bãi Dâu beach. Among all the reasons why I suggest this restaurant, you just need to know one important thing that helps Cay Bang bypass its rivals in my opinion: The view of this location. And to be honest, if you sit here at the right time with the good food, there is nothing much to complain.

Prices: 200.000 – 500.000 VND / 1 person
Opening hours: 10:00 AM – 11:00 PM

This restaurant did a good job creating an outstandingly peaceful atmosphere.

Phone: 064 651 10 99

Bánh Khọt Gốc Vú Sữa

Vietnamese Savory Mini Pancakes are made from a mixed flour, shrimps, pork grinds, and scallion oil and eaten with fish sauce which is added a little sugar. Crispy they are if we only judge them by the look. However, when we take the first bite, we will know the sweet truth: crispy on the surface but soft and floppy inside. Add a little fish sauce and eat the pancakes with herbs, and count how many little guys that you can beat. I bet you to finish 40 of them! (Don’t worry this is feasible since my cousin and I did this for a contest and that is his record.

Prices: 40.000 – 100.000 VND / 1 person

Sơn Đăng Coffee Shop

To go is to enjoy the landscape. To explore is to comfort your eyes. This spot is where such conditions converge. The shop lies on a slope of Mount Nho and from there the whole Vung Tau city heaves into sight so peacefully.

Prices: 30.000 VND – 60.000 VND / 1 person
Opening hours: 06:00 AM - 10:00 PM
Address: #28A Hai Dang St, ward 2, Vung Tau, Ba Ria – Vung Tau, Vietnam.

Have you ever been this close to the sea, standing on a high headland that extends 100 meters out into the ocean and drinking your coffee cup with the taste of salty winds? There is one word for this place: awesome! One of the best locations in Vung Tau without a doubt. Have a breakfast or brunch at this place every day on vacation is always my choice when I am here.

Prices: 40.000 VND – 150.000 VND / 1 person

What & Where to Eat In Ba Ria City

Ba Ria City rarely has anything in common with its sibling, Vung Tau City, across the Co May river. It is less famous, less bustling, and less noisy. Sometimes we do want to explore peaceful parts of this Earth, don’t we? And while you’re busy exploring, here are a few hot spots left that may fulfill your appetite.

Long Huong Thuy Soup Cake
Are you hungry after your long trip on the highway? Stop by this hot spot and enjoy their delicious soup cake (bánh canh). But notice that they are extremely crowded during rush hours and meal times (7 to 9 AM, 11:30 AM to 1 PM, and 7 to 8 PM) because of their popularity.

Price: 30.000 – 60.000 VND
Opening hours: 06:30 AM – 8:30 PM
Address: #667 Highway 51A, Long Huong, Ba Ria.

Waterfront Restaurant
Waterfront restaurant truly lives up to its name. It is a decent-looking restaurant which is located on a riverside with a grand great view. Best suit for group visits.

Price: 100.000 – 400.000 VND
Opening hours: 08:00 AM – 8:00 PM
Address: # Highway 51A, Long Huong, Ba Ria.

Baris Tea & Coffee House
A short rest with a pleasant view downtown, won’t you come and have a seat? An attentive staff will bring a beautiful drink of your choice in just a moment. To be honest, sometimes the drinks are too "beautiful" to drink.

Price: 25.000 – 50.000 VND
Opening hours: 08:00 AM – 8:00 PM

Rice Noodle With Grilled Meat/Bamboo Shoot
Let us try a morning breakfast like a local with rice noodle and grilled meat/bamboo shoot, shall we? At this rustic shop, we will sit at a low table on the pavement.
Price: 20.000 – 40.000 VND
Opening hours: 06:00 AM – 11:00 AM
Address: #76 27 Thang 4 Street, Phuoc Hiep ward, Ba Ria.

Christ the King

Residing on the peak, Christ the King can be seen from almost everywhere in Vung Tau. This statue of Jesus which height is 32 meters may be considered as a small version of Christ the Redeemer in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil (which height is 38 meters.) Mount Nho was closed for its construction in 1974 and the statue was completed in 1993. The statue itself is not a masterpiece. However, with good positioning, the architects did a good job making a charming point of interest. Inside the sculpture, there are 133 steps which lead you to the balconies on statue’s shoulders. From there, you can observe the whole Vung Tau city.

Take a short trip to the mountain by motorbike is suggested since the road is quite small and steep. Get prepared! You will then have to take a treadmill session to the peak.

Address: Mount Nho, Vung Tau city, Ba Ria – Vung Tau, Vietnam.

Vung Tau Paradise Golf Course

Have you ever been to a golf course located right next to the beach? Check out my plan if I’ve ever been here: Playing golf on a windy green hill in the morning, then swimming with the blue waves when the sun sets and shopping and having seafood in the night market at the end of the day. It sounds awesome, doesn’t it? So, what are you waiting for? Let’s check the weather forecast and make the dream come true!

Address: #01 Thuy Van St, Nguyen An Ninh Ward, Vung Tau, Ba Ria – Vung Tau, Vietnam.

Worldwide Arms Museum

Write this name down on your must-visit-places list and you won’t regret it! This is probably the largest private collection of worldwide arms around the world which are owned by a guy whose name is Robert. The museum is arranged tidily and every artifact is annotated and explained thoroughly. Hey, why don’t we spend our vacation in a coastal town and study European medieval history? Tell this to your geek friends, or your partner, they would definitely love it!

Entrance ticket: 100,000 VND/ 1 person
Opening hours: 9:00 AM – 5:00 PM

Top 5 Beaches of Vung Tau

1/ Bãi Trước: (translate: Front Beach) along Tran Phu St is the most crowded and popular beach of this city. And the name came from this reason, The Front or The Face of the whole city. At day, fishing boats dock nearby along the shore drawing busy trading activities. At nights, shops, restaurants and street vendors light up the whole beach with dazzling bulbs and advertisement signs. Take a stroll to enjoy the winds and browse for interesting souvenirs. Swimming here is not recommended, though.

2/ Bãi Sau: (different names: Thùy Vân, Thùy Dương) this 10-kilometer shore to the South and Southeast of Vung Tau is probably the most famous location for the tourists. Bai Sau is a beautiful long beach with the big shore. Every beach sports and activities that you need can be found right here.

3/ Bãi Dứa: This place is a bit different than its enormous siblings out there. Being small and peaceful but full of rocks and boulders, Bai Dua hides under the big shade of Mount Nho to the west. Not so many people recognize the existence of him. Therefore, he always favors the loveliest strangers who set their feet here with the breathtaking scene and tranquil atmosphere.

The post Where to go in Vung Tau? appeared first on Maze Vietnam.

By Motorbike (or Car)

There are a few routes which are really straightforward. And they usually take you 2 hours to get to Vung Tau. To have a better view, check the provided google map of each route.

Route 1: From Dien Bien Phu Street >> Highway 52 >> Cross Dong Nai Bridge >> turn right to Highway 51 and keep on going on this road >> Ba Ria city >> Vung Tau.

Route 2: Same as route 1 but take Pham Van Dong Street instead. Why? Just let you know that there is one underrated street with a few good views along the way that can also lead us out of this city (fortunately it is underrated, and big trucks and heavy-weight vehicles are prohibited from entering this road.) After a few minutes of traveling from the start of Pham Van Dong St, you will encounter Binh Loi Bridge where you can get a pretty awesome view of Sai Gon River.

There is one optional stop which is Buu Long Pagoda. Located outside the busy city, the pagoda is a completely peaceful fort of the soul. The unique token is the palatial appearance of the main pagoda building having some Thailand and India influences. Before crossing Dong Nai Bridge, turn right into Nguyen Xien St. Check the map for the exact location.

Route 3: From Truong Chinh Street >> turn right at An Suong intersection to Highway 1A >> Highway 52 >> cross Dong Nai Bridge >> turn right to Highway 51 and keep on going on this road >> Ba Ria city >> Vung Tau.

Please be careful at hammock coffee shops. Always keep an eye of your vehicles and belongings. This is not a silly prejudice against those shops but there were many cases of robbery or vehicle sabotage which hammock coffee shops are involved.

Before getting the show on the road, have your bikes checked first. Change the tires if necessary. However, do not get too worried as there are many repair shops along the highway. Good luck out there and have a good vacation!

By Hydrofoil

Having a seat on the comfy chair of a hydrofoil is worth considering if you do not want to ride those Vietnamese streets so much. VINA – PETRO EXPRESS is recommended. A round-trip ticket for one adult is 400 000 VND (about $18.) As they promised, you will arrive at Vung Tau within 1 hour and 20 minutes.

By Taxis

Taxi is the least favorable suggestion since the cost is pretty higher than the other options. Anyway, it is still worth considering. Here are a few taxi brands that I usually take:

Mai Linh: (+84)8 38 38 38 38

Vinasun: (+84)8 38 27 27 27

Vina: (+84)8 38 11 11 11

Hoang Long: (+84)8 38 68 68 68

Saigontourist: (+84)8 38 45 88 88
