BY MOTORBIKE
Option 1: From Nguyen Thai Hoc Street, District 1, go through Kênh Tẻ Bridge in District 7. Then go to Hiep Phuoc Industrial Park and get on Hiệp Phước – Doi Lầu ferry. Go to Soài Rạp intersection and continue about 11km to Can Gio.
Option 2: From the central of HCMC, find the way to Tan Thuan Bridge and then turn on Nguyen Van Linh Street to Huynh Tan Phat Street and then get on Binh Khanh ferry. After crossing Binh Khanh Bridge, go straight down to Rung Sat road in Can Gio all the way down to the beach. This road is paved, flat and new.
BY BUS
Option 1: From 23/9 Park catch bus #75. The bus will go through these streets: 23/9 Park – Le Lai – Ben Thanh Market – Tran Hung Dao – Pham Ngu Lao – Yersin – Tran Hung Dao – Ham Nghi – Ho Tung Mau – Nguyen Tat Thanh – Huynh Tan Phat – Rung Sat – Duyen Hai – Dao Cu and finally, stop at Can Thanh Bus Station (in Can Gio).
Fee: 20000 VND for one turn
Option 2: From Ben Thanh market, take the bus #20 which goes to Nha Be and stops at Binh Khanh ferry. Then, get on the ferry, cross the river and take the bus #90 straight to the beach. Along the way, if you want to visit any tourist site, you should ask the bus driver for dropping you there, because the bus to Can Gio does not stop at any bus stations on the way.
Hello I am planning to visit Vietnam HCMC in October without any tour guides. And I really want to check out the monkey island and Vamsat. I was reading your article on how to get to CanGio from HCMC, and there are two buses running, is bus how much is the bus 20? Are they all public transit? And if I take bus 75, I still need to take the ferry to get into the isalnd? or there are more than one entrance to CanGio? I would really appreciate your reply if possible! Thank you 🙂
Hello Kayla. For your question, all vehicles from Saigon to Can Gio have to get through Binh Khanh ferry with a fee of 4,500VND/passenger. Specifically, the ticket for bus 75 already covers that fee so you just need to sit back and relax for the whole ride. On the other hand, bus 20, which is 5,000VND/turn, stops at Binh Khanh ferry and then you need to get off to buy a ticket. On arriving, take bus 90 to the last destination at Can Thanh town at 6,000VND/turn. Anyway, so glad to know that you’re visiting Vietnam. Hope you have a great trip and everthing goes to plan.
Hi, Thanks to your blog I just visited Monkey Island and put together a little video guide to getting the bus there which has slightly updated stop location and prices. I hope you don’t mind the plug but I thought it might help more of your readers as nothing beats being able to see where you’re going. I had a brilliant day out and highly recommend it! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VYJ-LEz9DZI
