Route Overview

Distance: Approximately 150 to 160 km
Travel time: Around 3.5 to 4.5 hours, depending on traffic conditions and any planned rest stops along the way
Road conditions: National Highway 1A and expressways, with predominantly flat terrain

As the journey leaves Ho Chi Minh City behind, the scenery gradually changes into riverside towns, rice fields, canals, and the slower rhythm of the Mekong Delta.

Along the Trung Luong – My Thuan expressway, there are several roadside rest stops where travelers may take a short break for coffee, light snacks, drinks, or restroom visits if needed.

If you have more than one day, consider a 2-day Mekong Delta car itinerary with an overnight stay in Ben Tre before continuing to Can Tho.

What to Know Before Traveling from Ho Chi Minh City to Can Tho

1. Travel Time Depends Heavily on Departure Time

Under normal traffic conditions, the journey usually takes around half a day of road travel. However, the total duration depends not only on the expressway section but also significantly on your departure time when you leave the city.

The Trung Luong – My Thuan expressway section is generally stable. The main factors that typically affect travel time include: The western gateway area of Ho Chi Minh City, morning rush hour (7:30–9:00 AM), and increased travel demand on weekends and public holidays.

If you have a scheduled sightseeing activity or day tour in Can Tho, selecting an appropriate departure time is important to ensure your itinerary is not disrupted.

For travelers planning afternoon activities in Can Tho, departing Ho Chi Minh City around 8:30 AM is often a practical option, allowing arrival around lunchtime before continuing with sightseeing later in the day.
If your main activity is the early morning floating market on the following day, Vietnamdrive usually recommends leaving Ho Chi Minh City after hotel checkout and lunch, typically around 1:00 PM to 1:30 PM.

2. Flat and Easy-to-Travel Route

Unlike the route to Da Lat, which includes mountain passes and numerous curves, the journey from Ho Chi Minh City to Can Tho mainly follows expressways and major national highways. Its flat terrain contributes to a smoother ride and helps reduce fatigue.

You do not need to worry about complex or winding roads. This route serves as a major transportation artery in the Mekong Delta region, so the road conditions are generally well maintained.

Because the route crosses many rivers and canals in the Mekong Delta, the route includes many bridges. Some bridge access sections may feel slightly uneven as the vehicle passes over expansion joints or elevated bridge connections.

Overall, this journey is especially suitable if you are traveling with young children, have elderly travelers in your group, and have just completed a long flight and prefer a more relaxing transfer.

3. Traveling Directly from Tan Son Nhat Airport to Can Tho

Many travelers consider heading straight to Can Tho after landing in Ho Chi Minh City.
As a general guideline:

If your flight arrives before around 3:00 PM, traveling onward the same day is usually feasible.
If you arrive in the evening, it is often more comfortable to stay overnight in Ho Chi Minh City and depart the following morning.

Since this is an intercity journey of several hours, it is important to consider your physical condition after a long flight. Planning appropriately allows you to arrive in Can Tho well-rested, especially if you have scheduled an early floating market tour the next morning.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. Can I book a round-trip transfer between Ho Chi Minh City and Can Tho?

Yes. You may book either a one-way or round-trip transfer. Many guests choose a round-trip transfer when visiting Cai Rang Floating Market and returning to Ho Chi Minh City the following day.

2. Can we stop in Ben Tre on the way?

For travelers using this service mainly as a direct transfer to Can Tho, we usually do not recommend adding sightseeing stops in Ben Tre. Most activities there require at least half a day, which can make the journey to Can Tho unnecessarily rushed.

3. Can I leave Ho Chi Minh City early in the morning to arrive in time for the floating market?

From a timing perspective, departing very early in the morning to arrive in Can Tho before 6:00 AM is possible. However, Vietnamdrive does not recommend this option.

Traveling overnight or departing at 1:00–2:00 AM is generally not ideal for a comfortable and well-paced trip, especially if you have just completed a long flight.

We recommend arriving in Can Tho the afternoon before, resting at your hotel, and joining the floating market tour the following morning. This approach allows for a more relaxed and complete experience.

4. What if my flight to Ho Chi Minh City is delayed?

For passengers being picked up at Tan Son Nhat International Airport and traveling directly to Can Tho, we monitor the actual arrival time if you provide your flight number.

If your flight is delayed within a reasonable timeframe, the driver will adjust the departure time accordingly without charging an additional short waiting fee.

In the event of a significant delay that affects the planned departure to Can Tho, our operations team will proactively contact you to:

Confirm the updated pick-up time
Advise whether it is best to continue traveling the same day
Or adjust the schedule to the following morning if necessary

Because this is a longer interprovincial journey, coordinating timing after landing is important to ensure a smooth and comfortable transfer.

5. Are there any late-night surcharges or additional fees?

Any applicable late-night surcharge, if relevant, will always be confirmed before booking. Standard toll fees along the Ho Chi Minh City – Trung Luong – My Thuan – Can Tho route, together with regular trip-related costs, are already included in the quoted price.

A private transfer from Ho Chi Minh City to Can Tho offers a smooth, well-coordinated journey tailored to your schedule. With a private car, a professional driver, and direct hotel or airport pickup, you can travel comfortably and arrive well prepared for your Mekong experience.
