Climb to the Christ of Vung Tau on Small Mountain, take in the peninsula from the lighthouse, visit the White Palace, swim at Back Beach and feast on seafood — back by evening.
Vung Tau is the closest beach to Saigon and perfect for a day trip. Your driver picks you up at home early; on arrival you climb up to the Christ the King statue on Small Mountain for sea views, then the Vung Tau lighthouse for a panorama of the peninsula.
After visiting the White Palace and a seafood lunch, spend the afternoon swimming at Back Beach before your driver takes you home to Saigon.
