When taking the waterbus, what should you keep in mind?
There are four departures and four return trips every day. The boat passes through all the ports: Bach Dang, Binh An, Thanh Da, Hiep Binh Chanh and Linh Dong. The schedule is the same even on Saturdays, Sundays and holidays.
The two trains departing at 8:30 and 17:30 are popular. During these times, you will easily be able to "hunt" for beautiful photos of Saigon. So, book your tickets early and choose a good seat for a perfect trip!
In addition, the Binh An Trip round trip from Bach Dang wharf (District 1) and Binh An (District 2) has been increased in number to serve the needs of tourists. On weekdays, there are 9 departures and 9 return trips from 17:00 to 21:00. Saturday, Sunday and holidays: additional time slots: 16:00, 16:30, 21:30. If you do not have much time, the Bach Dang - Binh An trip will be a suitable choice for you.
The train departed on time, a few minutes after the announcement the train was ready to pick up passengers.
Sold out tickets happen quite often, especially on weekends. This is the peak time, mainly for tourists. Therefore, you can book tickets directly and pay right on the Saigon Waterbus website about a day in advance. If you have free time, you should go during the week because this will be the time with fewer customers, mostly locals.
You should also prepare hats, jackets, sunscreen, drinking water and some snacks for this waterbus journey. If you visit the whole route from Bach Dang - Linh Dong, it may take about 4 hours for all activities such as moving to the pier, buying tickets, waiting for the boat, etc.
The window system is arranged along both sides of the train to help visitors easily enjoy the scenery outside.
In addition, at Bach Dang wharf or Binh An wharf, while waiting for the train to depart, visitors can visit the cafes in the wharf area. The cafes here are impressively designed with attractive views, so many young people visit to see the whole wharf and take check-in photos.
For those who get seasick, you can take motion sickness pills before going. But rest assured that the boat has many windows, is airy and clean. In addition, passengers on the waterbus can walk around on the boat and move to the back area to enjoy the whole view outside. If you go by motorbike, you can park right at the pier for about 10,000 VND. For cars, you can park in the basement of nearby buildings.
