Set off early in the morning to make the most of this fascinating journey. Enjoy an extended cycling experience through the serene countryside, a true reflection of Vietnam’s natural beauty. Along the way, visit the historic site of the Battle of Long Tan, where Australian forces engaged in a significant conflict during the Vietnam War.

Continue your journey toward Vung Tau, a charming seaside city known for its coastal views and relaxed atmosphere. Take in panoramic scenery before boarding a speedboat for your return to Ho Chi Minh City.

Relax and enjoy a scenic cruise along winding rivers, passing through tranquil mangrove forests and picturesque landscapes. As the boat approaches Bach Dang Pier, take in the magical moment of sunset over the Saigon River—an unforgettable ending to your day.

Be met at 7:30 a.m. by our team and depart your hotel for a scenic 1.5-hour transfer to Ba Ria’s charming rural district. Upon arrival, collect your bikes and set off with your guide on an immersive cycling adventure through the vibrant countryside. Pedal along winding back roads lined with pagodas, tropical fruit orchards, and bustling village life, offering an authentic glimpse into southern Vietnam’s rural charm.

Along the journey, visit local farms, admire lush green hillsides and tranquil lakes, and stop at the former Nui Dat Task Force Base — once the principal Australian military base during the Vietnam War and home to the renowned 1 ATF headquarters in South Vietnam.

Pause for a relaxing lakeside lunch at a cozy local restaurant before continuing your ride through sprawling rubber plantations and fertile farmland to the historic Long Tan Cross Memorial. Here, your guide will share fascinating stories and historical insights into the Battle of Long Tan between the Australian Army and the Viet Cong.

From there, enjoy an undulating ride along quiet back roads to the Phuoc Long Tunnels, where your cycling journey concludes. Rejoin the support vehicle for a comfortable 1-hour transfer to the coastal city of Vung Tau, then board a speedboat for a refreshing cruise back to the dynamic heart of Ho Chi Minh City.
