What’s Included
What’s Not Included
The best season to take the South Vietnam & Vung Tau Tours is between December and April, when there is dry weather. This is when there’s the most lovely weather here with clear blue sky, low humidity, and a comfortable temperature ideal for exploring both city roads in Ho Chi Minh City as well as windy beaches in Vung Tau. Travel during this season means tranquil boat trips on the Mekong as well as sun-baked beach experiences without unexpected rain showers. For nature lovers with an appreciation for lush nature in this part of the world, there’s also something to enjoy during May to November’s green season, reduced crowds, lush-green paddy fields, and idyllic rural landscapes.
Packing wisely is crucial to maximize your South Vietnam & Vung Tau Tours. Choose lightweight, breathable clothing since temperatures are high all year round, particularly in Ho Chi Minh City, Can Tho, and Vung Tau. Bring a sunhat, high-SPF sun protection, and insect repellent. Good shoes for walking will also be an asset on city tours as well as rural paths. And don’t forget to include swimwear for such memorable beach experiences!
During Ho Chi Minh City Tours and further, a little sensitivity with regards to culture will take you a long way. Dress conservatively when attending temples or pagodas, speak with proper etiquette, and be thankful -a mere smile will deepen your bond with locals. Vietnamese people are very hospitable and welcoming, and your respectful nature will garner genuine hospitality from them.
