Ben Tre is the Mekong Delta at its slowest: coconut groves, narrow canals, brick kilns and riverside homestays under the palms. Can Tho, with its floating markets and city energy, is the natural starting point for a day trip or a stay in the countryside.
The easiest way to make the trip is a private transfer. On booking platforms, private cars cost about $59 to $97 (November 2026), and the drive takes from about 1 hour 50 minutes, longer in heavy traffic.[1]
Can Tho to Ben Tre by Private Transfer
Neither city has a train line or a commercial airport that serves the other, so a car is the simplest choice.[1] It picks you up at your hotel, drops you at your homestay and lets you stop for photos along the way. A sedan or SUV suits couples and small groups; a minibus is the cheapest per person for a large group. You can compare and book on GoAsia.cc.
