What you'll see and do
Nui Dat hill
7:30 AM | Hotel Pickup (Ho Chi Minh City or Vung Tau City) Your guide and private vehicle will pick you up from your hotel. Sit back and enjoy a comfortable drive through southern Vietnam’s shifting scenery, from busy streets to peaceful rubber plantations. 10:00 AM | Step into History at Nui Dat SAS Hill – The Heart of the Australian Base Arrive at Nui Dat SAS Hill, once the strategic hub of the Australian Task Force during the Vietnam War. Though time has reclaimed much of the base, echoes of history remain—the original helipad, faded bunker outlines, and the remnants of Luscombe Airstrip, where choppers once lifted off into battle. From the hilltop, take in the same view that thousands of Aussie soldiers once scanned, their eyes sharp for movement in the dense jungle. As your guide shares powerful stories of valor, hardship, and brotherhood, you’ll feel history come alive beneath the canopy of quiet trees. This isn't just a visit—it's a journey through memory, emotion, and legacy

As you walk the grounds, your guide will bring the battlefield to life through vivid and heartfelt storytelling—sharing not only the strategy and events, but also the bravery, sacrifice, and human moments from both sides of the conflict. It’s a place to pause, reflect, and feel history in its rawest form. 6:00 PM | Hotel Drop-off As the day draws to a close, we’ll return you to your hotel.

Guide makes all the difference
Excellent tour with my guide Thovan. With his extensive experience, having lived through the war and being part of the south Vietnamese army working alongside Australian, New Zealand and US troops he has personal stories to share and knows locations, people and history. Highly recommend booking with Thovan for this experience.

An experience never to be forgotten, highest recommendation for Wombat.
The purpose of my holiday to Vietnam was to visit the Nui Dat Australian Army camp where many of my mates were based mid 1960's to 1971. My tour guide "Wombat" went out of his way to take me to the "Tunnel Rats" memorial stone which is outside where once stood the officers building. It was an amazing experience to stand on the ground that I was told so many stories about, imagination became reality. Then Wombat took me to the Long Tan Cross and gave a service for the 18 Australian men who died there in that battle, 108 of our soldiers against 2,500 Viet Cong, it was truly a heart wrenching experience. If your interest is in our boys fighting against the Viet Cong and North Vietnam, then this tour is a must for you, and I highly recommend the tour guides especially "Wombat" who was extremely good to me and spoke English very well.
Response from the operator: Thank you so much for sharing such a heartfelt review. We are truly honored to have been part of this meaningful journey for you. It means a lot to hear that Wombat could help bring those stories and memories to life with respect and care. Your words about the Long Tan Cross ceremony deeply touched us. We will be sure to pass your kind compliments to Wombat. Wishing you all the best, and thank you again for trusting us with such an important experience.

Great tour with an excellent tour guide and driver
Had a great day the tour guide was excellent with his knowledge of the past history we had a private tour and the only thing a little disappointing is we were in a small sedan would have been a lot better if it was a larger sedan on mini bus but it is what it is
Response from the operator: Thank you very much for your kind review! We’re happy to hear that you enjoyed the tour and appreciated the knowledge shared by our guide. We also truly appreciate your feedback regarding the vehicle size. Your comments are valuable to us and will help us improve our guests’ experience in the future. We hope to welcome you again on another tour in Vietnam!

The Long Tan & Nui Dat tour was a moving journey through history !
The guide provided powerful context about the events that took place here, and standing at the memorial was deeply emotional. Nui Dat gave us more perspective on the strategies and landscapes involved. It’s a meaningful tour that pays tribute to the past while fostering understanding and respect for those who served.

Why this scores 62
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Long Tan And Nui Dat Battlefield Tour From Ho Chi Minh or VungTau: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Ho Chi Minh City.
How much does Long Tan And Nui Dat Battlefield Tour From Ho Chi Minh or VungTau cost?
+
Prices start at $41 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Ho Chi Minh City usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Long Tan And Nui Dat Battlefield Tour From Ho Chi Minh or VungTau take?
+
Plan for about 5 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Ho Chi Minh City is not rushed.
Is Long Tan And Nui Dat Battlefield Tour From Ho Chi Minh or VungTau worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 62 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 6 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Ho Chi Minh City, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Long Tan And Nui Dat Battlefield Tour From Ho Chi Minh or VungTau?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Long Tan And Nui Dat Battlefield Tour From Ho Chi Minh or VungTau suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Long Tan And Nui Dat Battlefield Tour From Ho Chi Minh or VungTau?
+
Around 2 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Ho Chi Minh City can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Ho Chi Minh City and add a light layer if any part of the 5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Long Tan And Nui Dat Battlefield Tour From Ho Chi Minh or VungTau start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Ho Chi Minh City within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Ho Chi Minh City?
+
On Outty we rank every Ho Chi Minh City experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Adventure Cu Chi Tunnels and Mekong Delta Tour From HCM, Cu Chi Tunnels Small-Group Tour: Vietnam War Underground Network, Cu Chi underground tour - Learn Vietnam war with others. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Ho Chi Minh City?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Ho Chi Minh City?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
