Go to Kiên Giang on bus, then take a ferry to Phú quốc. save you money and more fun , but take more time ( about 10 hours to get there)

Hey that sounds like fun.  Does the ferry carry motorbikes?  Or is it a passenger-only ferry?  What's the fare?

the bus ticket from Saigon to Rach Giá should be around 150k vnd, and the ferry from RG to Phú Quốc cost 300-350k/person.
anyway, it's about 6 hours from SG - RG, and 2:30-3 hours RG-Phú Quốc on ferry.
Ferry does carry your motorbikes

I did not know there was a ferry at Rạch Giá City.  Thought it would be closer to the Cambodian border since that would be the shortest route for a ferry to run.  Thanks for the info.

...There's no bus to "Kien Giang" Kien Giang is the name of the province,it's not a town.....

Good info on the two ferries. 

Although you are technically correct, you cannot buy a ticket to Kiên Giang Province as a final destination when you go to a ticket booth, buses do however go "to Kiên Giang".  Just like airplanes can go to England.  You just have to specifically ask for a ticket to a specific an airport inside England.

If the original poster didn't know Kiên Giang was not a "ticketable" destination, then cang_nduc should have said "Go to Rạch Giá City on bus, then take a ferry to Phú quốc."  since the person could get a bus ticket with the destination of Rạch Giá City.

They certainly do and I dread every minute of those flights! There's just something about English cuisines that give me slight uneasiness about going there!

As for flying/bussing to KienGiang/RachGia....I'd personally will always go by ground as in my biased opinion, the Mekong Delta is the most pretty area of Vietnam.  Better to see it from 8 feet above the ground. Always!

Well, I took the bus a few times from Saigon to Rach Gia but the LOUD volume of the NON STOP DVD they put in the bus is killing me. We asked them many times if they could lower the volume, but it seems it's part of the culture (or the bus company) to put loud music and shows through the journey.

.

Don't blame you there....even as a Vietnamese, I find that extremely annoying...and I don't see anyone watching anyways..

Vietjet is fine but always delayed!!!!

WOW...VietJet ticket = $23 USD;  Vietnam Airline ticket = $69 USD. 

Talking about BIG difference. This is ridiculous.  I guess we'll try VietJet.

Check out the charge for any luggage. You may be shocked.

OK...now you are scaring me. I have a small carry on (12 lbs) and my wife has a small carry on (10 lbs). VietJet Airline must allow at least 1 carry on...right?  I mean no one fly empty handed.

IN VIETNAM, ONLY buy tickets from AIRLINES DIRECTLY.

VN Travel Agents are rip-offs and most do exactly what you do - call the airline for a ticket!

REAL Travel Agents have to be licenced by IATA, and this means buying a bond and having lots of money in the bank. IATA agents can book on-line whereas 'pretend' agents can't.

The ferry (SUPERDONG) price is now 350,000VND one way.  You get dropped off at Vong Beach in Phu Quoc where you can catch a xe om, taxi, or shared minivan into town.

The ferry ride is not so bad.... For me, the ferry ride is a "Tour".  That whole area is a UNESCO world biosphere reserve, so enjoy it.

The SuperDong is stabilised so the ride is pretty smooth.

You can also take your motorcycle! (For a fee)

And @incon3037r is right - take a bus! BUT for the TALL or FAT people - do not use a sleeper! There are bus lines with normal seats to Rach Gia.

And don't forget your passports!

P.S. Rach Gia has great seafood and seafood restaurants.

Our friend from 'Austria' is back from Christmas break.

When you learn the difference between an IATA-appointed agent and what VNese call 'travel agents', you will understand. You will also understand about 'bonding'.

VNese travel agents simply call the airline, make a reservation - just like you do - then they stick you with a fee - hidden or otherwise. How else does an agent make profit on a non-commissioned sale?

Next one, Karl?
