Bus, boat and air: the operators' own websites
The bus companies, boat operators, airlines and airport bodies that serve the delta, each with its own website and the date we last opened it. This is a directory, not a route planner: for timetables and fares, the operator's page is the only one we trust.

Why operator websites
Bus and boat timetables in the delta change with the season, the tide and the operator's fleet. Pages that copy them go out of date fast, and a few months' difference can mean a departure that no longer exists. Each line below links the operator's own site or the official site of a station or airport. Resellers and marketplaces are marked as such.
Mekong Links does not publish step-by-step routes between towns. Use the operator's site for the service you need and confirm close to your travel date.

Boats
| Operator | Type | Website | What you find there | Checked |

Hang Chau's site listed, on the check date, a fare of VND 1,640,000 from Chau Doc to Phnom Penh and VND 1,580,000 in the other direction, valid from June 2026 to June 2027, after a fuel-related fare change announced in May 2026. These are reference figures from the operator's own page, not our prices; confirm before you travel. Independent guides from 2024 quote different times and fares.
Phu Quoc Express lists eight routes, with both delta services arriving at Bai Vong port on Phu Quoc. Superdong takes online bookings through a separate booking address linked from its home page.

In July 2026 Vietnam Airlines announced the return of Can Tho–Da Lat flights, operated by VASCO, after nearly six years.

Entry and border pages
For crossing into Cambodia by river, two state sites matter as much as the boat operator: the e-visa portal (it did not load for our checker on 12 October 2026) and the Immigration Department. Both are described on the official sources page.
How to tell an operator site from a reseller
- The operator's site names its legal entity in the footer and usually takes bookings itself.
- A reseller shows several operators' services side by side and may add a fee; the departure is the same.
- Sites that put an operator's name inside a longer domain are often resellers. Start from the addresses above rather than from a search ad.
- If a fare on a reseller differs from the operator's page, the operator's page is the reference.
For buses and boats booked on the day, the counter at the station or pier is another option; phone enquiries may need Vietnamese.
When an operator website will not help
Operator sites rarely warn about weather or water. Fast boats to the islands can be cancelled in rough seas, and river services change with the flood season; a cancellation notice may appear only on the day. Bus timetables on marketplaces may list departures that a small company has quietly dropped. For any connection that matters — a flight or a border crossing the same day — leave a margin and confirm by phone or at the counter.
Common questions
Questions readers send
Where do I book the boat from Chau Doc to Phnom Penh?
With the operator. Hang Chau Tourist publishes its times and fares on its own website; on 12 October 2026 it listed fares valid from June 2026 to June 2027.
Does Can Tho airport have international flights?
Not in 2025, when all 1,115,000 passengers were domestic. Check the airline websites for current routes.
Is Vexere a bus company?
No. Vexere is a ticket marketplace that lists many bus companies. You buy through the marketplace, but the bus is run by the company named on the ticket.
