What To Expect
Black Virgin Mountain
We collect guests from various hotels, it's possible that your hotel is our first stop, so ensure you're prepared by 07:00 a.m. As we journey through the lively streets of Sài Gòn, we make our way to Tây Ninh province. We may pause for a short break and restroom facilities en route. Upon reaching Black Virgin Mountain, we'll embark on a picturesque cable car journey to the summit of Bà Đen Mountain, the tallest peak in southern Việt Nam. From this vantage point, you'll have the chance to marvel at the impressive Tây Bổ Đà Sơn Buddha Statue, Asia's highest bronze Buddha, and soak in spectacular vistas of the surrounding landscapes – from quaint villages to expansive rice fields that border Cambodia. Ensure you have your camera to capture these memorable views!
Cao Dai Temple
Next, we move on to the Cao Đài Temple, often likened to a Walt Disney masterpiece set in the East. The temple's facade is adorned with vibrant dragons of various forms, intermingled with numerous swastikas. The all-seeing sacred eye, representative of the Cao Đài faith, oversees the main entrance. Inside, it's equally captivating with figures of Jesus, Buddha, Confucius, and Laozi standing in harmony. Appreciate the grandeur of the largest Cao Đài temple and participate in a ceremony to delve deeper into this distinct Vietnamese faith. A scrumptious lunch awaits you at a nearby eatery, where you can indulge in genuine Vietnamese dishes and experience the warmth and charm of the local culture.

5.00We had the best day out on a private tour to Ba Den (Black Virgin) Mountain, Cu Chi Tunnels and Cai Dai temple with Max our amazing guide from Indochina Heritage Travel. Max had so much interesting information about the history of Saigon and the wars. We were particularly intrigued by all the facts he shared about the tunnels and the VC which really brought history to life for us! A packed day with so much to see and do at all the sights. Would highly recommend this tour and in particular cannot rate our guide Max highly enough! He is very familiar with all the sights, knowledgeable and really took the time to bring us to all the right photo spots. He was a key reason we thoroughly enjoyed this tour!
