About Suoi Da Vung Tau 

Hidden below the lush greenery of Dinh Mountain is Suoi Da (Stone Stream), one of the most beautiful natural landscapes in Ba Ria - Vung Tau Province (now part of Ho Chi Minh City). The stream cuts through large boulders and separates into two pieces, Suoi Tien in the upstream and Suoi Da downstream, which offers both majestic and serene beauty. 

It lies in Phu My Town’s Tan Hai Commune, only about 7 km from the center of Ba Ria City, and 80 km from Ho Chi Minh City. The area is perfect for a picnic or a short weekend retreat, as it is a wonderful opportunity to get in touch with nature on a short trip.

Best Time to Visit Suoi Da Vung Tau

Suoi Da enjoys a pleasant climate all year round, but for the best experience, you should plan your trip during:

  • Dry Season (November - April): The ideal time for swimming, camping, and light trekking. With little rain, safe trails, and clear, refreshing streams, the weather is cool with gentle sunshine - perfect for outdoor activities.
  • Morning or Early Afternoon: This section of the creek is clearest and coolest around this time of the day. With fewer visitors around, you can enjoy a swim, take photographs, and bask in the serene surroundings. You should try and get there early if it’s the weekend so that you avoid the rush and get priority for camping or check-in.
  • Avoid the Rainy Season (May - October): Water levels may rise and trails can become slippery, making swimming or trekking less safe.
