Get around Can Tho

There are many different kind of transportations for you to choose to visit some attractions in Can Tho. So, it is easy to go anywhere you want.

By bicycle and motorbike

It is easy to get around in Can Tho by motorbike or bicycle. Rental rates might be higher than in Saigon or some of the tourist hotspots in central Vietnam. This is probably due to the fact, that the number of international customers is much lower and the cost is higher. A 24 hour rental of an automatic motorbike will cost around 220.000 VND, older manual motorbikes might be substantially cheaper. Locals will usually not rent motorbikes or bicycles and it even is not so easy to find a rental shop where people speak English.


The bicycles available in Cantho are useful to get around, but beware that those bicycles are produced for the local population, who are on average smaller and lighter than Western tourists. These bicycles can break quickly and some local shops may be even hesitant to rent it out to you, because of constant repairs that are required. With the quality standard in mind, when you rent a bicycle, check that the brakes work for you!

By taxi

Mailinh and Happy Taxi are the two main taxi operators of the city. The frequency of taxi cars is much lower than in Saigon as there are less big companies using the taxi fleet in Can Tho. Only a few drivers speak English. Best is to ask your hotel to call a taxi for you and ask them to tell the destination to the driver.

By boat

There are ferries to surrounding areas available from two stations at Ninh Kieu quay. If you want to travel on the river, you can rent a private boat at Ninh Kieu pier. Rates vary and depend on your negotiation skills. Refer to the paragraph about floating markets for more details.
