By ferry

If you are in southern Vietnam, a trip to the island by boat may be a good option. Ferries and fast boats to the islands leave from two ports in mainland Vietnam - Ha Tien and Rach Gia.

The vast majority of services terminate on Phu Quoc Island at Bai Vong port.

For trips to Phu Quoc, Ha Tien port is more popular as ferries leave more frequently and the journey is an hour shorter. On the other hand, Rach Gia is a bigger city, offers better infrastructure and you can also fly directly there.

Where to buy tickets?

Most companies have websites where you can buy tickets in advance. You can also buy directly at the port on the day of departure, but expect that not all ferries will be free, especially during the tourist season.
