Best Transfer from Rach Gia Ferry to Bai Dai Beach

The simplest way from the Rach Gia ferry to Bai Dai is a taxi or ride-hailing app, which local figures put at 25 to 40 minutes for the drive. A private car or hotel shuttle, booked in advance, gives you more control. Bai Dai sits about 15 to 25 km from Duong Dong. The guide range is USD 10 to 15 per trip, checked on 5 November 2026, and we confirm the exact price in the chat before you pay.

Which transfer options run from the ferry to Bai Dai?

You can take a taxi, a ride-hailing app, a private car arranged in advance, or a hotel shuttle if your stay offers one. Each option suits a different kind of traveller, so choose before you sail rather than at the pier.

A free shuttle bus links Duong Dong with a central area, which is useful only if your hotel is near that route. Bai Dai is dominated by large resorts, and facilities outside those zones are very limited. Some visitors report being turned away from the beach, while others get in through specific entrances, so ask your hotel which entrance to use.

How far is it, and how long does the drive take?

Bai Dai is about 15 to 25 km from Duong Dong, and a taxi or ride-hailing app takes about 25 to 40 minutes. The beach runs about 15 km along the northwest coast from Ganh Dau to Cua Can, so the exact distance depends on the section you stay in.

Figures differ by source and by the route you take, so confirm the drive time for your exact pickup point on WhatsApp before you travel. The Ha Tien route is the most popular and quicker, which is one reason many travellers choose it.

Private car or hotel shuttle: which should you choose?

A private car gives you flexibility with timing and luggage, while a hotel shuttle works only if it runs when your boat arrives.

A private car lets you set the stops and the pickup time, which helps with heavy bags and families. A hotel shuttle can be simpler, but only if its timetable matches your sailing, so check that before you book. Ask these questions before you pay:

• Does the shuttle or driver match my boat’s arrival time?
• Where is the pickup, and how will the driver find me?
• Does the quote include luggage space and a child seat?
• Is waiting time included if the boat is late?

Some operators include waiting time and others do not, so ask rather than assume. The answer belongs to each operator, not to Bai Dai as a whole.

How much does it cost, and how do I book before sailing?

The guide range is USD 10 to 15 per trip, checked on 5 November 2026, and high-speed ferry tickets should be booked one to two days ahead.

One operator lists about USD 10 to 14 for a 20-minute ride, and another listing shows about USD 15 for a longer trip, so the headline range covers both. Prices differ by operator, so confirm the exact figure in the chat before you pay. Do not pay a deposit to a stranger, and check that the price you agreed covers the pickup you need.

Book high-speed ferry tickets one to two days ahead, especially during holidays, Tet or the summer season, to avoid sell-outs. Then message us on WhatsApp with your sailing time, hotel and number of bags, and we arrange the pickup with local partners.

Carry a waterproof bag for hand luggage to protect phones and cameras from sea spray on the boat. The usual advice for seasickness is to take motion sickness medication about 30 minutes before departure, so ask a pharmacist which type suits you.
