Visualize
We design the Long Tan Battlefield Tour differently, with photos and story flows for you to understand the battle visually
Unlike many other agents, we did all of the Long Tan Tour research and specially trained only a few tour guides for it. We have exclusive photos, videos and documents that you can hardly find on the internet.
Here is feedback from a son of the Aussie veteran who served in the Vietnam War:
Itinerary
At 7:30 AM, our tour guide will come with a private A/C car to pick you up at your hotel. We will head to Long Tan, Ba Ria – Vung Tau Province, which is about 80km from Ho Chi Minh City.
Along the way, our tour guide will:
Get used to you and discuss Vietnam’s culture, history, and wars,… in general
Explain why Ba Ria – Vung Tau’s location (formerly Phuoc Tuy), where Long Tan belongs, is important to economics and wars
Or you can simply take a rest before we arrive at the site.
Our first stop will be Long Phuoc Tunnels – one of the lesser-known tunnel systems in the Vietnam War, however, it still contributed a lot to the battlefield.
But why visit this tunnel? It is right below the old Long Phuoc Village, which was destroyed during Operation Enogerra in June 1966 (2 months before the Battle of Long Tan). Now, we begin to walk through the timeline of the famous battle.
Next, we will visit the old Luscombe Airfield (or Nui Dat Airfield), the runway built for 1ATF – which is now turned into a road inside the town of Long Tan. Here we visit a local grocery store and have some cold beers before visiting the Long Phuoc Abandoned Kindergarten, which was built by Australians to restore the damage of the war.
The journey takes us to Nui Dat Base (or Nui Dat 1), where the Australian Army put their base when the Battle of Long Tan took place. Although the area has been turned into a quarry, we can still see some similarities with the old photos from the past, which our tour guides will show you one by one.
Here you will follow the Battle of Long Tan from the dawn of 17/08/1966 (when the Australian base was suddenly attacked) to the midday of 18/08/1966 (when the concert took place in Nui Dat).
After that, we will get in our car to the rubber plantation, where Delta Company 6RAR fought the Battle of Long Tan.
Inside the rubber plantation, our tour guides will show you the Battle Maps to see what happened during the Battle. After finishing, we will go inside the area of Long Tan Cross, the memorial of those who fell in 08/1966. Here you will give them some flowers, and incense to show respect to their sacrifice.
The journey through the past has ended. Now it is time to go to the future – the peace that was built from all of the sacrifice of of those who have fought for their country.
Please note that this part of the tour is an extra part (with 15 USD/ person or 23 AUD/ person additional charge). We will visit Vung Tau City if you choose this option. Or else, we will have a local lunch and return to Ho Chi Minh City.
However, we highly recommend doing Vung Tau City because:
Our Battle of Long Tan Tour is quite a short trip (~5-6 hours)
The tour is heavy on history and wars, a trip to Vung Tau will help you relax
A bonus Vung Tau City Tour only costs 15 USD (23 AUD), which is considered very good value
