Day 1: Saigon - Long Tan - Nui Dat - Saigon
Our car and tour guide will pick up at your hotel in Ho Chi Minh City and transfer to Vung Tau. Our first stop is the sight of the former Nui Dat Task Force Base (Nui Dat SS Hill). Little remains of this camp except the columns of the main gate. The former runway is now a wide street in the local village and the old heli-pad is now a soccer field. A school established by the Australians is nearby. Later, drive past the location of the Horseshoe (access not permitted these days due to mining activity) to the Discourtesy Rubber Plantation. Visit the Long Tan Cross Memorial, before continuing on to the Long Phuoc Tunnels. Later on, we transfer to Ba Ria town for our lunch. In the afternoon, we transfer back to Saigon.
