The experience
The tour starts with pickup at your hotel in Mui Ne or Phan Thiet and heads first to Poshanu Cham Tower, a Champa Kingdom structure that stands as one of the region's most significant cultural landmarks. From there you move to Phan Thiet's fishing harbour, where you watch the daily rhythm of local fishermen and their boats: a working port, not a staged scene. The guide stops long enough to photograph and absorb the activity before moving on.
Van Thuy Tu Palace sits next to the harbour and holds the skeleton of a whale that lived over 200 years. The palace itself is a worship site and hosts the region's largest traditional festival each June. After the harbour area, the route climbs to Ta Cu Mountain. You take a cable car to the summit, then walk about 100 steps to reach a 49-meter reclining Buddha statue. The mountain holds other smaller temples and statues along the way, and the views down to the city and coast spread out below. On the return to your hotel, a stop at a dragon fruit farm lets you see how the fruit grows and learn about its cultivation in the region.
The full route takes five hours. The tour runs at a pace suitable for all fitness levels, and children from age 4 can join. Each person gets a bottle of water. Entrance fees and sightseeing tickets are covered in the price. The guide speaks English and travels with you the whole day.

Top questions
Can children come?
Yes. Ticket types: Child (4 to 8 years). Children under 4 can't be included in the booking.
What is the Poshanu Cham Tower and why does it matter?
Poshanu Cham Tower is an architectural work from the Champa Kingdom, built centuries ago in Phan Thiet. It holds artistic, historical and cultural significance and has become one of the region's key tourist attractions because it represents a distinct period of Vietnamese history and the influence of the Champa people.
What will I see at Phan Thiet's fishing harbour?
The harbour is an active working port where local fishermen operate daily. You'll see numerous fishing boats and watch the real rhythms of harbour life, not a tourist performance, but the actual work of the community.
How do you get to the top of Ta Cu Mountain?
A cable car carries you most of the way up Ta Cu Mountain. Once at the cable car station, you walk about 100 steps to reach the highest point, where a 49-meter reclining Buddha statue sits. Along the climb you pass smaller temples and statues with views down to the city below.
What is Van Thuy Tu Palace?
Van Thuy Tu Palace stands next to Phan Thiet fishing harbour and houses the skeleton of a whale that lived more than 200 years. The palace is a worship site, and each June it hosts the region's largest traditional Nghinh Ong festival, when fishermen gather to pray for peace and good harvests.
