Vung Tau is popular for its beaches and cool seawaters, but for those who are interested in exploring more of the town during their stay some tour operators have recently introduced cyclo and electric-car tours.


Unlike the more typical means of transportation in the region, such as motorbikes or taxis, which can be expensive and not always suitable for browsing through the city, the new cyclo and electric-car tours offer an open and comfortable alternative for touring.

 

Cool sea breezes will escort travelers as soon as they start their journey at Back Beach, and thanks to the slow speed of travel tourists will not only be able to enjoy a leisurely ride as they are winding through the pleasant streets, but will also understand more about the local daily activities.

 

The tour companies offer a variety of routes through the city.Some go around Nui Nho or Small Mountain, on the peak of which is the huge statue of Jesus Christ with his arms stretched out, embracing the immense ocean.From here the spectacular panoramic views take in the city as well as the ocean.

 

Other options include a visit to the White Palace, which houses the treasures of Thanh Thai King ruling under Nguyen Dynasty and a collection of ancient cannons, or the Whale Temple, where travelers can see whale bones and learn about the typical customs of the resident fishermen.

 

Finally, a city tour would be incomplete without a stop at the Fine Arts Shopping Center to buy some souvenirs for friends and families before leaving the coastal resort town.

 

The cyclo and electric-car tours are priced depending on the size of the group of travelers. For example, DIC Tourist offers a price of VND265,000 per person for a group of ten. For a smaller group or individual the price will be a little bit higher.
