Duong Dong to An Thoi Pier by Taxi or Car

An Thoi Port is about 20 to 30 km from Duong Dong, and the drive usually takes 25 to 40 minutes depending on your transport. Most travellers go by taxi, tourist bus or a private car. The price depends on date and operator and is not verified on this page, so confirm the exact amount on WhatsApp before you travel.

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

Figures differ by source. One account puts An Thoi about 30 km from the old Duong Dong town centre, while another puts it at about 20 to 25 km from the centre. Taking both, the drive is roughly 20 to 30 km, and the trip usually takes 25 to 40 minutes depending on transport.

Traffic and transport type change the drive, so allow extra time for the early morning and for any stop on the way.

What are the ways to get to the pier?

Taxi, tourist bus or a private car rental are the main ways to travel from the centre to An Thoi Port. A private car suits families or large groups who want flexible planning and driver support. Taxis or service cars suit families or larger groups, and a bus suits people travelling alone on a budget.

Groups who want flexibility can rent a motorbike for the route. Before you ride, inspect the bike and take photos and a short video of every side, so any damage is recorded before you leave. Do not leave your passport as a deposit on a rental; offer a cash deposit or a photocopy instead.

Should you leave from An Thoi or Duong Dong?

Most day tours leave from An Thoi, so plan your morning around the port rather than the town. If your tour includes a hotel pickup, the driver will collect you from your area and take you to the port. If you are staying in Duong Dong and your tour does not include a pickup, arrange a taxi or private car for the morning.

A typical day starts at An Thoi with an early cable car to Hon Thom, then a beach stop, then Sunset Town in the afternoon. Starting at An Thoi keeps the morning simple, because you are already at the departure point.

What time should you leave in the morning?

Leave early enough to reach An Thoi well before your boat departs, because the drive takes 25 to 40 minutes and traffic can slow it. Visitors are advised to start early in the morning, especially if they plan to take the Hon Thom cable car. The cable car has a midday break, so an early car is the safer plan.

Many tours start around 8 AM to 9 AM, and hotel pickups are often between 8:30 and 9:00 AM. Work back from your boat time and allow a margin for the drive.

What does it cost?

We do not have a verified price for this route on this page. The price depends on the date, the type of transport and the operator. Ask for the exact amount in writing before you agree to a ride, and confirm the pickup point and waiting time.

Some resorts run free shuttles at fixed times to Sunset Town, about 7 to 10 minutes away, but these shuttles are not the same as a transfer to the pier. Ask your hotel whether a shuttle or pickup is available on the day of your tour.

Plan the route the day before. Check the drop-off point at An Thoi Port, note the pickup point at your hotel, and save both in your phone. If you are paying cash, agree the price before you get in the car and keep small notes ready. Travelling with a group? Agree who sits where and who pays for the return. The drive is best done before the midday heat, and the trip back from An Thoi in the late afternoon can be slower, so allow extra time for it. If your hotel offers its own shuttle, ask for the timetable in writing and check whether it stops at the port or only at a nearby point, because that changes how much walking you do with luggage. Keep a copy of your booking message on your phone, so you can show it to a driver who does not speak much English.
