Combining a mountain trek with a ferry crossing sounds great, but the tricky part is the transport: who drops you at the trailhead and who meets you after the ferry. This guide helps you plan that side first.
New loop ideas combine a mountain trek with a ferry crossing through the Can Gio reserve. They are still being developed, so this guide explains how to plan transport with some flexibility.

| Key facts | Details |
|---|---|
| Trek idea | Dinh Mountain, with eco-resort stays in Vung Tau |
| Ferry idea | Return via the Can Gio sea ferry through the reserve |
| Status | Surveyed and being tested, confirm availability |
Vietluxtour's chairman said the company is surveying a trekking tour to Dinh Mountain from central Ho Chi Minh City with eco-resort stays in Vung Tau, and testing an itinerary that returns via the Can Gio sea ferry through the biosphere reserve before ending in the city centre. These are products in development, so please confirm availability.
Use a car for the outbound leg and a one-way drop near the ferry terminal. Agree where your driver will meet you after the trek, and allow time for ferry queues on weekends.
Because details can change, keep a reserve hour in your schedule. If you only need a drop-off, see the one-way options.
| Vehicle | Best for |
|---|---|
| 7-seater | Small trekking group with bags |
| 16-seater van | Club or company outing |
| 4-seater | Two to three friends |
Send the trek start point and the ferry time you have in mind, and we will plan the outbound drop and the pickup after the ferry. For a flexible drop-off and pickup, a car with a driver from Ho Chi Minh City can be arranged around your trek and ferry times.
Tip from Car Rental Vietnam: Leave extra time between finishing the trek and the ferry; descents often take longer than planned, especially with a larger group.
They are in development; confirm first.
At an agreed point after the trek.
Yes, for ferry queues.
Planning a trek-and-ferry day? Send your pickup point, group size and dates; quotes include the driver's wage and road tolls, and our team confirms everything with you before you book.
Agree the drop-off at the trailhead, the expected finish time and the ferry pier where the car meets you.
Check ferry times on the day and bring water, hats and shoes for the trail.
See day trips by expressway and Ho Tram weekend.
Can the car meet us after the ferry? Yes, agree the pier.
Is the loop open? It is still being developed; check first.
