What To Expect
The Battle of Long Tan
Long Tan Nui Dat battlefield is the most famous battle fought by the Australian Army during the Vietnam War. This battle took place in a rubber plantation. On 18 August 2016 a low-key ceremony was held on the site of the battle; more than 1,000 Australian veterans and their families travelled to Viet Nam to participate in the 50th anniversary commemoration. The tour will begin with a departure for Ba Ria - Vung Tau Province by minivan. The local guide will take you to the site of Long Tan Battlefield where you will visit the former 1st Australian Task Force at Nui Dat.
Nui Dat hill
Our first stop-over is Nui Dat SAS Hill, where you will be shown the helicopter parking and camping areas of soldiers and explained the important sites during the war. You will have an overview of the 4 km circle of the Nui Dat base perimeter. Next, we will visit the rubber forest and pass Mong Ngua Mountain – which was used to be the shelter of Vietnamese soldiers.

5.00An excellent and informative tour. Chris was a fantastic guide who brought the history to life through his personal experiences of being stationed in the area. We appreciated visiting both Australian and Vietnamese memorials and gained a much deeper understanding of the region’s history. Highly recommended, and it’s great to support an organization doing valuable work for people in need in the Vung Tau area.

5.00Jack did an awesome job showing my partner and I where my dad served with old photos of what was there all those years ago. He explained vietnams turbulent history perfectly. We stopped and had donuts at a roadside market and he purchased flowers for the Long Tan memorial. We then visited the tunnels where the caretakers dad was a local Viet Cong fighter. Afterwards we had a pho at a local restaurant which was delicious. Would highly recommend this tour.

5.00Right from the start Kim’s bubbly and warm persona shines through. Here attention to detail was amazing. She is very knowledgeable fun and easy going with a very good grasp of the English language. The addition of carefully selected music ( including odes and last post) and photographs made for a very emotional tour to see where my father served. It was fantastic to see both sides of the stories. I would highly recommend.

5.00Highly recommend this tour. Our guide was so knowledgeable in all aspects of this battle and walked us through the locations with respect and dignity. We were taken to some less touristy tunnels and had a delicious lunch at a local restaurant. Very heartfelt tour with flowers provided for us to lay at the cross.

5.00Our Long Tan and Nui Dat private tour was a deeply moving and informative experience. Jack, our guide, was very knowledgeable and provided excellent context about the battle itself as well as the broader history of Vietnam and Australia’s involvement. His explanations were clear, respectful, and helped us understand the significance of the memorial sites we visited. The transport was comfortable and well‑organised, which made the day smooth and enjoyable.
