Ben Tre to Vung Tau Travel Q&A

1. Where is Vung Tau?

Vung Tau is a coastal city in Ba Ria – Vung Tau Province. It is known as the ideal vacation destination for southern Vietnamese for years due to its proximity (only a few hours drive away) to Saigon coupled with the facilities available ranging from budget accommodation to beachside resort. The city has two beaches, namely the Front Beach situated at the harbor side and Back Beach located at the eastern part of the city, longer and more tranquil compared to Front Beach with hotel accommodations. For tourists who travel from Mekong Delta, private car rental from Ben Tre to Vung Tau straight through the highway in less than four hours is the best choice.

2. How far is Ben Tre from Vung Tau?

Traveling from Ben Tre to Vung Tau by private car takes approximately 182 km, following the Ho Chi Minh City – Trung Luong Expressway and National Highway 1. Your journey starts from Ben Tre Island, heading north through Tien Giang and around Ho Chi Minh City, then joining National Highway 1 heading southeast to Ba Ria - Vung Tau province. The expressway system significantly shortens travel time; otherwise, it would take five to six hours.

4. How long does the Ben Tre to Vung Tau transfer take?

Travel time through private vehicles will take about 3 hours and 55 minutes. It takes the longest time in the HCMC outer ring transit, where peak travel hours are 7:00 am to 9:00 am and 5:00 pm to 7:00 pm during the weekdays, and could increase by 20 to 40 minutes. Leaving Ben Tre prior to 7:00 am will help you arrive in Vung Tau before lunchtime. The first hour of stay is complimentary, additional hourly wait will be 100,000 VND ($5 USD).

5. How to get from Ben Tre to Vung Tau

• Bus: Not available as direct transport. Passengers must make a connection at HCMC - that is, change terminals with baggage in the city, and then board an onward bus to either Ba Ria or Vung Tau. Lengthy and unrealistic, especially for those traveling with beach luggage to their chosen resort destination.
• Self-drive: A drive using the expressway option is not difficult. However, driving in the HCMC outer ring and then reaching one’s beach destination in Vung Tau upon arrival makes the journey unnecessarily complicated.
• Private car via Mui Ne Private Car: The driver picks you up from your Ben Tre hotel or homestay accommodation before the scheduled time; engine switched on, AC blowing cool air, water wetting the seat covers. Your luggage will be transported from your hotel lobby to the vehicle trunk. Moving around in the HCMC outer ring road area comes easy to your driver; you will remain in the vehicle when this takes place. The drop-off point for the Vung Tau location – Bai Sau Resort, Bai Truoc Hotel, the Ferry Port, or any other peninsula address – is sorted out prior to leaving so that navigation is not done in a rush near the beach road area.

Vung Tau's peninsula addresses split between Bai Truoc (Front Beach, west side) and Bai Sau (Back Beach, east side). Provide your full hotel name at booking - not just "Vung Tau" - so your driver heads to the right side of the peninsula from the CT01 exit rather than guessing at the roundabout.

BEN TRE TO VUNG TAU PRIVATE CAR TRANSFER

I. Ben Tre to Vung Tau City and Beaches

The Night Before: Confirmation

Not more than 9 pm in the Vietnamese local time on the night before your journey, a WhatsApp or email will reach you containing the complete name, mobile number, type of car and its registration details of your driver. This also provides details about the address for pick up in Ben Tre and drop off point at Vung Tau.

Pickup in Ben Tre

Your driver will be waiting at your hotel, lodge, or address in Ben Tre before the specified pick-up time, the vehicle having been warmed up with its air conditioning on, bottled water in the car seats. In case you have arranged accommodation on one of the river island districts or a riverside homestay, let the driver know to take into account the necessary crossing of a bridge on his route. Your luggage gets loaded straight from your lobby into the vehicle trunk. The drop-off address in Vung Tau gets sorted out before leaving.

On the Road - Delta to Coast

From Ben Tre, the journey heads north to cross the Mekong's river system through Tien Giang province, which features the flat farmland of the Delta, wide and brown waterways. Afterward, the expressway HCMC – Trung Luong takes passengers out of the Delta's floodplain toward the Northeastern direction. Fortunately, your driver knows the best way of approaching the HCMC ring road that will shorten your time. Once outside the city limits, your drive will pass through Ba Ria's flat and industrialized landscape until the road to Vung Tau emerges. For any four-hour trips, the first hour is included for free. If the driver waits longer than an hour, the charge will be 100,000 VND ($5).

Arrival in Vung Tau

Your driver takes you to the entrance of your hotel, resort, or any address on the Vung Tau peninsula. Vung Tau's two beach areas - Bai Truoc on the west and Bai Sau on the east - are on opposite sides of the headland; your driver heads directly to whichever side was confirmed at booking. Luggage is unloaded at the door. Before leaving, your driver does a 30-second check of the vehicle interior - phone, wallet, earphones, passport, anything in the door pockets or under the seats. If a 50% deposit was made at booking, the remaining balance is settled here in cash to the driver, or via PayPal, bank transfer, or credit card. Driver says goodbye and heads back toward the Delta.

Note: Vung Tau has two distinct beach areas on opposite sides of the peninsula. Bai Truoc (Front Beach) is on the western harbor side; Bai Sau (Back Beach) is on the eastern sea side and has most of the resort hotels. Provide your full hotel name at booking - not just "Vung Tau" or "Back Beach" - so your driver takes the correct exit from the CT01 approach and arrives at the right entrance without a detour.

II. Vung Tau to Ben Tre (Return Transfer)

When the vacation comes to an end and you’re ready to depart the beaches for the Delta, the private transfer from Vung Tau to Ben Tre by Mui Ne Private Car is done on the same expressway journey in reverse, following the same standards of vehicles, same procedure, and same fixed rates.

One important thing about the return trip is that leaving Vung Tau before 7:00 AM or after 9:30 AM helps you evade traffic congestion en route back. You simply need to give us your Vung Tau pickup address and preferred pick-up time. Once booked, we confirm your reservation instantly. For a round-trip booking, we give you a round-trip price.

Vung Tau Travel Guide

Best Time to Visit

Most of the year, Vung Tau remains quite dry. The dry period of November through April features quiet oceans, dry air, and ideal beach weather. The wet period of May through October sees rains that typically occur in the afternoon as well as stormy ocean waters that come in bursts rather than throughout the entire day.

What to See in Vung Tau

• Bai Sau (Back Beach) - The longer of Vung Tau's two main beaches, stretching several kilometers along the eastern side of the peninsula with calmer water than the front. Most mid-range and resort hotels are concentrated here. Early morning before the weekend crowds is the best time - local fishermen and joggers have it largely to themselves until the resorts wake up.
• Christ the King Statue - The large white statue on the summit of Nui Nho (Small Mountain), visible from much of the city and from the sea. The 800-step climb earns a panoramic view over both beaches and the shipping lanes offshore. Go early morning to beat the heat and the tourist groups.
• Bach Dinh (White Villa) - A French colonial villa from the late 1800s on a hillside above Front Beach, with views over the harbor. The grounds are open to the public and the building houses a small collection of Cham artifacts and antique ceramics. One of the more atmospheric colonial-era sites in southern Vietnam.
• Seafood on Bai Sau - The restaurants along Back Beach road do Vung Tau's best eating. Grilled squid, clams in a dozen variations, steamed crab, and banh khot (crispy mini rice pancakes) are the things to order. Prices are reasonable and the turnover keeps the seafood genuinely fresh.
