Taxi & Transfers from Ham Tien to Ho Chi Minh Airport (SGN)

How to Get from Ham Tien to Ho Chi Minh Airport

By Public Bus

There’s no straight route. You’ll need to transfer at least once.

Most travelers head to Phan Thiet or Mui Ne to catch a long-distance coach. These buses go to either Mien Dong or Mien Tay station in Ho Chi Minh City. After that, it’s a local taxi or bus to the airport. It’s cheap — usually under $14 — but takes up most of your day. Expect five or six hours minimum.

By Shuttle Bus

Shuttle vans run this route too. They’re shared, and they drop you at your hotel or the airport. No need to change buses or hunt for a taxi. Pre-booking is required. It takes about 4 to 5 hours and costs from $10 per person.

By Taxi

Taxis are easy to find in Ham Tien, especially near hotels. Just walk out and wave one down.

The drive to Tan Son Nhat Airport takes 4 to 5 hours, depending on traffic. It’s about 190 kilometers. Fares start at $80 and go up to $120. Most drivers prefer cash. English is limited, so show your destination address in Vietnamese if you can.

Use Vinasun or Mai Linh for safety. And always ask for the meter — or agree on the fare before you go.

Private Transfer

Private transfer is a great option if you want peace of mind. No guesswork. No switching vehicles. Just one car, door to door.

Kiwitaxi offers private transfers from Ham Tien to the airport. You choose your car class, and the fare is fixed when you book. The driver picks you up right at your hotel and helps with your bags. The ride takes about 4 hours. Simple and stress-free.

Transfer with Children

Switching buses with kids is hard. Long rides and full stations don’t help.

With Kiwitaxi, you can reserve child seats in advance. The car shows up ready. Everyone sits comfortably, and there’s no need to explain anything on the spot. You just go.

Transfer with Pets

Some drivers refuse animals. Buses often won’t allow them either.

Kiwitaxi lets you book a pet-friendly vehicle. Just tick the box during booking. That way, both you and your pet travel calmly and safely to the airport.

What to See Before Leaving Ham Tien

If you have a few hours before your transfer, spend them at the Fairy Stream. It’s shallow and warm. You walk through soft sand and red cliffs. It feels otherworldly.

Stop for a final Vietnamese coffee at a beach café. Watch the water. Let the wind do its thing. Even short moments here feel long.

Leaving Ham Tien feels slow — in the best way. That calm stays with you all the way to the airport.
