From Ben Tre to Vinh Long

These are the main bus stations where buses leave from the two cities. Apparently, the drivers will pick up other passengers along the way. There may be a spot near your hotel to hail the bus so I suggest you ask your receptionist/host to locate one.

Otherwise, consider taking a taxi or Grab to reach the main station if it's easier.

The bus code is #8. It says Vinh Long – Ben Tre at the front of the bus so you won't be missing.

If you travel from Ben Tre towards Vinh Long. The arrival bus station I mentioned earlier is next to a ferry named Dinh Khao.

Once your bus ride come to an end, get off the bus and walk to the ferry that's 5 minutes straight ahead.

The ferry ride is 15 minutes, running all day and there's a ticket booth just right before the station.

Once the ferry docks, there should be some motorcycle taxis waiting near the main gate to fetch you where needed.

Alternatively, Grab motorbikes and Xanh SM cars will come in handy if you're looking for a ride-sharing app.

On the other hand, those traveling from Vinh Long to Ben Tre all need to reach Dinh Khao Ferry Station first, cross the river, and arrive at the bus station above to hail the bus to Ben Tre.
