Four guided days, each one private

Guide only suits Duong Dong, where the market, the river mouth, Dinh Cau and the night market are all within walking distance, and it suits travellers who already have a car for the week. It also works with ride-hailing: published Grab fares for short rides inside Duong Dong are about VND 30,000 – 60,000, and the guide can book and direct the driver.

Guide with a private car and driver makes sense once the route leaves town. Duong Dong to An Thoi takes about 40 – 50 minutes by road, Duong Dong to Ganh Dau about 50 – 70 minutes by bus timetable, and a day that touches both coasts can spend two hours or more in transit. With a car, the guide uses that time to brief you on the next stop rather than negotiating with drivers at every turn.

• One guide with an international guide card, for your party only, for the hours booked
• A written route with clock times, sent before the day
• Pick-up and drop-off at your hotel lobby in Duong Dong, Ong Lang or Bai Truong; other areas on request
• The guide's lunch on eight-hour days, and the driver's when a car is booked
• Bottled water in the car

Entry tickets, your meals, drinks and purchases are not included. The pricing page explains why, and how to book covers changes and cancellations.

We do not sell join-in group tours, boat trips to the An Thoi islands, packaged food or fishing-village tours, or private yacht charters. Those are different products with different operators, licences and safety routines. A guided day can pass through a fishing settlement or stop for lunch at a seafood restaurant on the way, but the product is the guide's time, not a packaged experience.

Island boat trips from An Thoi have been running again since late July 2026 under stricter checks on vessel registration, life jackets and passenger numbers. If you want one, book it directly with a licensed boat operator; the boat crew, not a land guide, decides on the day whether the sea is safe.
