🛥️Water Bus
🌟Most people board the Water Bus at Bạch Đằng Wharf in District 1 to explore the Saigon River. The ticket prices are very affordable, with a one-way ticket costing just 15,000 VND and a round-trip ticket priced at 30,000 VND, regardless of the route. Tickets can be purchased either at the ticket counter or online through the official website. Seats are assigned based on availability, so it’s recommended to buy tickets in advance as seats are limited.
While waiting, you can take a stroll along the wharf or relax at a nearby café and enjoy a drink.
The Water Bus is air-conditioned inside, but since the cabin is not fully enclosed, the cooling effect may not be very strong on hot days. However, you'll definitely feel the air conditioning more on rainy days when the weather is cooler.
The Water Bus moves at a leisurely pace and is quite stable, offering a relaxed way to enjoy the riverfront scenery. The views from the water are completely different from those on land, giving you a chance to appreciate the city's towering buildings and the vibrant growth of Ho Chi Minh City. Occasionally, the boat passes under bridges or sails alongside container ships and other vessels, adding an extra layer of excitement to the journey and providing a truly unique travel experience.
🚌 Double-Decker Bus
The double-decker bus is a great way to explore Ho Chi Minh City, offering routes to the city's top attractions. There are two main operators: City Sightseeing and Hop On Hop Off, with similar routes. Tickets can be purchased online, at ticket counters, or directly from the bus driver. You can choose between hop-on, hop-off passes or a one-way tour. The lower deck is air-conditioned for comfort, while the upper deck provides better views but can be sunny. It's best to ride in the evening or at night to avoid the heat.
The double-decker buses offer multilingual audio guides, Wi-Fi, and provide conical hats for sun protection and great photos.
The double-decker bus lets you enjoy Ho Chi Minh City’s sights comfortably from your seat or hop off at any attraction. It’s the perfect way to explore the city without the heat and hassle of walking, offering a relaxed ride through the vibrant streets and busy intersections.
