We welcome tourists from both Phu Quoc island, Vietnam and Kampot, and Kep in Cambodia.

From Phu Quoc islands, tourists should arrange boat tickets in advance, check out the hotel at noon and board on speed boat to Ha Tien in the afternoon. 


From Phnom Penh: the afternoon speed boat takes 4 hours to Chau Doc town by different boat operators serving this route. A good time to see beautiful scenery and life downstream of the Mekong River, then join in the group on the second day to see the Mekong by bike to Ho Chi Minh City.
