How To Travel Around Vung Tau
Get Around - By taxi
Taxi fares are comparable to those in Ho Chi Minh City, which start at 5000 dong for the first 500 meters and increase to 12000 dong for each additional kilometer (4-seat car). The cost of a 7-seater car might reach 16000 dong/km. There are taxis everywhere, and the drivers have little trouble operating the meter, which begins to click after a short distance of movement.

Get Around - By taxi motorbike
In Vang Tàu, a typical Vietnamese metropolitan region, there are many skilled xe ôm (taxi motorbike) drivers. Visitors to Vang Tàu could discover that the city’s traffic is slower, especially on weekdays. In Vietnam, wearing a helmet is a requirement that is tightly enforced. Thus, the driver is responsible for providing you with a helmet. Find another one if he doesn’t, as you’ll be the one who has to pay the fine. Never forget: always settle on a price before you leave.
Get Around - By motorbike
Most hotels and hostels offer motorcycle rentals, particularly on the back beach. The motorized bike costs 100,000 – 150,000 dong, whereas the manual bike costs 80,000 – 130,000 dong. Check that you have a valid driver’s license and helmets.
Get Around - By bicycle
Because of its low traffic density and scenic coastline roads, Vũng Tàu should be one of the greatest destinations in Vietnam to ride a bike. Bicycle rental services are few, although can be obtained at several Back Beach hostels. You might also bring your own bike from Saigon or borrow one from friends. The ideal bicycle path follows the shore, passing through Thùy Vân st, Hạ Long st, Quang Trung st and Trần Phú st. As the road quality is very good, you may choose between a moderate pace to enjoy the sea breeze and a fast race. If you prefer to ride off-road, some paths up to the Small/Big Mountains are ideal for practice.
Wearing a helmet is not required, although it is highly advised. Also, keep an eye out at every crossing because other automobiles sometimes fail to yield to bikers.
