How to get from Phu Quoc Airport to the hotel

Phu Quoc Airport Taxi

There are several ways to get to your hotel from Phu Quoc Airport.

  • 🚖 Taxi (Grab): The most convenient way. Ordering through the Grab app fixes the cost. A trip to Long Beach will cost from 100 000 – 150 000 VND.
  • 🚌 Free bus VinBus: A great option, but not suitable for everyone, as it will not take you to the door of the hotel and does not go to all resorts. Routes No. 17 and No. 19 follow from the airport along the main beach of Long Beach and the main resort areas. Timetables and route maps for official website.
  • 🛵 Rent a motorcycle: If you are a confident driver, you can rent a bike right at the airport (from 120,000 VND / day) and leave on it.
