Bao Loc to Vung Tau Travel Q&A
1. Where is Vung Tau?
Vung Tau is a coastal city in the Ba Ria – Vung Tau province, lying in a small peninsula that extends out into the South China Sea 120 kilometers to the southeast of Ho Chi Minh City. Vung Tau has served as the number one beach resort for southern Vietnam for decades, being close enough for day trips from Saigon and having all facilities, including budget accommodations as well as luxury beachfront resorts. The city has two beaches, namely Bai Truoc Beach (Front Beach), which faces the city, and Bai Sau Beach (Back Beach), which lies on the eastern part of the city, being longer, quieter, and filled with hotels. There is no commercial airport in Vung Tau, with most tourists arriving through road travel or the fast ferry from Ho Chi Minh City. For those coming from the highlands, the fastest way is by private car transfer from Bao Loc to Vung Tau via QL55.

4. How long does the Bao Loc to Vung Tau transfer take?
The Travel time by private car is approximately 4 hours and 14 minutes on QL55.

5. How to get from Bao Loc to Vung Tau
-
Sleeper bus: There are buses running on this route, but they run on a set schedule from bus stations and don't stop at the hotels. They are impractical for people with luggage and going to particular beach destinations in Vung Tau.
-
Self-drive: It can be easy if you know the way, but there are quite a few stretches on QL55 that pass through small towns with local traffic and roads of different quality. By the time you get there after driving more than 200+ kilometers, you'll probably want to be fresh rather than tired from driving.
-
Private car via Mui Ne Private Car: The driver picks you up from your hotel in Bao Loc, relax for about four hours, and get off at your exact destination in Vung Tau. Fixed fare, nothing left to bargain for upon arrival. Any changes in the pick-up time should be made using WhatsApp.
There is no airport in Vung Tau - the only way to get there from Bao Loc is by road. Private transportation from Bao Loc to Vung Tau by private car is the only option that gets you to your specific resort or address directly, without transfers or detours through bus terminals.

BAO LOC TO VUNG TAU PRIVATE CAR TRANSFER
I. Bao Loc to Vung Tau City and Beaches
Pickup in Bao Loc
Your driver would be waiting for you at your hotel or designated location in Bao Loc with the engine already turned on and air-conditioning running. There is bottled water available inside the vehicle. Your bags will be loaded into the vehicle from the hotel lobby – you don’t have to worry about anything related to that. The driver will confirm the drop-off location in Vung Tau – whether it’s a resort by Bai Sau beach or an inner-city hotel.
On the Road - QL55 from Bao Loc to Vung Tau
QL55 begins at Bao Loc and runs south towards Binh Thuan hills, where the road flattens out along the lowlands and continues into Ba Ria – Vung Tau province. The scenery transitions from the hills of the Central Highlands to the flat lands near the coast. It is quite a different journey compared to that from the Central Highlands – smoother and easier on your body after the four-hour ride. The first hour of waiting is free, which is perfect if you want to have a proper meal or rest halfway through the journey. Every additional hour of waiting costs 100,000 VND (~$5 USD).

Arrival in Vung Tau
Your driver will take you straight to your final destination – hotel reception, villa gate or any address on the Vung Tau peninsula. Your luggage will be taken out at your doorstep. Prior to departure, your driver will conduct a brief 30 seconds inspection in the car – mobile phones, wallets, earphones, passports, or any other item that might have gotten stuck under seats or behind doors during four hours of driving. Should there have been a deposit paid for at booking time, the rest will be paid in full at this stage either in cash to your driver or by other means such as PayPal, bank transfer or credit card. After settling all your affairs, your driver will bid you farewell and drive away.
Note: Vung Tau has two distinct beach areas - Bai Truoc (Front Beach) on the west side facing the harbor, and Bai Sau (Back Beach) on the east with most of the resort hotels. Please confirm your exact address or beach area at booking so your driver heads to the right side of the peninsula from the start.
II. Vung Tau to Bao Loc (Return Transfer)
When the beach trip ends and you want to head back up to Bao Loc or continuing further into the highlands, the private car transfer from Vung Tau to Bao Loc runs the same route in reverse with the same standards and the same process.
Please provide us with your pickup location in Vung Tau and departure time and we will confirm right away. To get our combined round trip rate, please book both legs together.

Vung Tau Travel Guide
Best Time to Visit
Vung Tau is among the rare places along the coast of southern Vietnam which remain quite dry throughout most of the year. The dry season spans November through April, characterized by calm waters, low humidity, and excellent beach conditions. The wet season spans May to October, when there is afternoon rainfall along with some rough waves, although not for the whole day. The city is always busy during the weekends due to its closeness to Ho Chi Minh City; however, if you are visiting during the weekdays, the beaches are yours.
What to See in Vung Tau
-
Bai Sau Beach - Longer beach on the eastern side of the peninsula, with more tranquil waters than the front beach. Mid-range and resort hotels are found in abundance in this area. In the early morning hours, prior to the weekend rush, the beach towards the northern end is quite peaceful - fishermen dragging their nets out of the water, runners jogging on the beach path.
-
Christ the King Statue - Large white statue of Christ, with extended arms, located on the top of Nui Nho (Small Mountain). Easily visible from various locations in the city as well as from out at sea. The effort to climb 800+ steps to the top is worthwhile for the views across the peninsula, both beaches, and the shipping routes in the area.
-
Bach Dinh (Villa Blanche) - An old French colonial villa constructed in the latter part of the 19th century, situated on a hilltop overlooking Front Beach with a view of the harbor. The area is accessible to visitors, and the structure contains a museum with a collection of Cham antiquities and porcelain. One of the more interesting relics of the colonial period that remains in southern Vietnam.
-
Seafood Restaurants on Bai Sau - It is along the road by Back Beach where one can find the best dining experiences in Vung Tau. From grilled squid to clams prepared in a multitude of ways, steamed crab and the regional specialty of banh khot are the dishes to try. Seafood here is not expensive and is always very fresh due to frequent turnover.
