• The Battle of Long Tan - Let’s Go!
  Following pick up at your hotel at 8:00am, we’ll take a pleasant 1 and 1/2 hour drive to Ba Ria Central Market. On the way, we’ll stop to stretch our legs and pick up your local guide for the Long Tan – Nui Dat area. Your guide will give you an introduction to the Ba Ria area and history. Then, we’ll head to the Phuoc Long Tunnels, a 1.4km tunnel system where our guide will tell fascinating stories that illustrate the life of the Viet Cong during the wartime. He or she will also explain how the cashew nut grows. Vietnam is the largest producer and exporter of cashews in the world!

• Nui Dat hill - Step Back In Time In Nui Dat & Luscombe Airfield
  Next, we’ll arrive in Nui Dat, or SAS Hill, the former base of the Australian Army. Our guide will illuminate the important history of this area, showing photos so that it is easy for you to remember or imagine this period in time. Then we’ll drive to Luscombe Airfield, which has been preserved in a small village. Our guide will tell you the stories associated with this significant site. Here, we’ll also have a chance to visit the kindergarten built by Australian Veterans.

• Long Phuoc Tunnels - Absorb The History Of The Battle Of Long Tan
  We’ll continue on to the Long Tan Cross, the most emotional part of the tour. With flowers and incense, we’ll perform a ritual ceremony to show our respect for the people who passed away in this place. After this, we’ll view Horseshoe Hill from the main street because the area itself is protected due to bombs and landmines which still remain buried.

• Vung Tau - Take In The Sights In Vung Tau City
  Leaving Nui Dat, we’ll head to the beach city of Vung Tau where we will enjoy a delicious lunch with a sea view.

Going back down, we’ll visit the last King Bao Dai’s White Palace.
  The Adventure Isn’t Over Yet!
  Before we head back to Ho Chi Minh City, we’ll have a chance to take a photo with the famous Statue of Jesus on top of the hill. We’ll return to HCMC around 5:00 pm and drop you off at your hotel or anywhere you would like to go within HCMC.
