Hon Ba Temple

You need to check the low tide schedule carefully before visiting. If you go at the right time, a path opens up, allowing you to walk to the temple. The scenery is beautiful, and it's also nice to explore inside the temple. However, be cautious as the rocks can be slippery, and there’s a risk of injury.

Only accessible at low tide and worth the walk along the rocky path. We were welcomed by the temple caretakers and given incense sticks for prayers at the altars inside and outside the temple ( a donation is always welcome!). Nice views of Vung Tao from the temple too.

Time to visit is late afternoon so you can walk out to the island and temple. Short hike but make sure to wear sturdy and good grip shoes. You will walk on slippery rocks with banarcles so can get cut easily if slipped. Take time to pray, take in the views and cool breeze. At the base of the island, you will see 3-4 gun emplacements...good historical sights.

A must try Experience. Walking a rocky and wet route into the temple.

I have never been on the trail under the sea which leads to an island, but thanks to Hon Ba, now I had that very exiciting moments of my life! I walked at the sunrise, when all the tides were low, the trail appeared so visitors can walk to the island! The trail is almost made by rocks and it is so hard to walk on. But in the end, I made it to the island and enjoyed every peaceful moments on it & felt the fresh sea air in the morning. I love that!!! I have to recommend this activity to my friends!

Beautiful Hon Ba Island from a distance and different angles.

A beautiful and peaceful place only accessible during the low tide. The temple is very popular and have a unique charm because of his situation and small size.

Amazing experience to walk to the small island during low tide and the chance to see many clams, crabs etc. A must try in Vung Tau
