Our exploration of Vung Tau was a delightful escape from the hustle of Ho Chi Minh City, with stunning beaches and fascinating historical landmarks that truly captivated us. The transportation was smooth, though we did hit a bit of traffic on the way back, which ate into our beach time slightly. Overall, it was a fantastic day filled with sun, culture, and beautiful coastal views that we would definitely recommend for a quick getaway.

The stunning beaches of Vung Tau were the perfect escape from the hustle of Ho Chi Minh City, and I loved lounging on the soft sand while gazing at the waves. Exploring the historic Christ the Redeemer statue was a highlight, but the tour could have used a bit more time at each landmark to truly soak in the experiences.

We had a fantastic day discovering the stunning beaches and historical landmarks along the coast, particularly enjoying the beautiful views at the giant statue. While the scenery was breathtaking, the lunch options could have been more varied for our family.
