There is also a cheap option for wanderers who want to go to the island, of course it consumes more time. From Ho Chi Minh City, visitors can take buses to Rach Gia or Kien Giang (suggested Futa Bus Lines) than get ships to Phu Quoc Island (suggested Superdong, or Phu Quoc Express). Time length of each route is different based on destinations.You can see that total time for the Rach Gia route may slightly shorter than Ha Tien route if we go continuously. However, you have to wait till departure time of ships at Rach Gia. So it’s depended on whether you want to spend more time on the sea or not.
