Taking the motorbike taxi from the airport to the center

It is the cheapest transport moving to the center of Duong Dong Town. In terms of economic efficiency, motorbike taxi seems to be the No.1. When getting out the airport, you can find the motorbike if you go on foot from the airport to the new road and it is not far from the gate.

Although motorbike is the cheapest way, Vietnamdrive does not recommend using this choice, because we always think of safety.

The price of a motorbike in Phu Quoc is estimated as 10,000VND per kilometer. Because motorbike must not park in the airport, you have to walk to the road to get the motorbike taxi. If you choose this kind of transport, you only need to pay max 100,000VND to move to Duong Dong Town.
