Private Car 2D1N Tour Hoi An to Ly Son Island via Sa Ky Port

[!NOTE] Pricing Note for International Tourists The prices listed are inclusive of a 20% tax and service fee applied to foreign tourists. Estimated USD rates are based on current exchange rates and may slightly vary.

A 2-day 1-night tour from Hoi An to Ly Son Island via Sa Ky Port takes you to a volcanic island paradise known as Vietnam’s “Kingdom of Garlic”. In just two days, you can snorkel along coral reefs at An Binh Islet, catch the sunrise at To Vo Arch, and feast on ocean-fresh seafood.

This guide provides a detailed schedule, private transport rates, and tips to ensure you never miss your ferry.


Why Rent a Private Car to Sa Ky Port?

Punctuality is crucial when catching island speedboats. Public buses and shared vans operate on fixed timelines and drop you far from the terminal. Booking a private intercity car service with Faifo Express guarantees early morning pickup at your Hoi An hotel and direct drop-off at Sa Ky Port terminal gates.

Our drivers navigate around morning traffic spots near Quang Ngai City to get you there stress-free. Check our Hoi An to Sa Ky Port route guide for segment details.

Estimated Budget & Savings Tips

For a group of four travelling in a 7-seater, a 2D1N budget breaks down roughly as follows: round-trip private car to Sa Ky Port (split evenly), speedboat tickets ~280,000 VNĐ/person/leg, a homestay on Ly Son Big Island ~400,000 VNĐ/double room, and the canoe transfer to An Binh Islet ~100,000 VNĐ/person. The per-person total lands around 1.5 – 2 million VNĐ ($60 – $80) for the two days.

To save money, join a larger group to share the car fare and rent a motorbike on the island (~150,000 VNĐ/day) instead of taking taxis. For a closer look at booking intercity transport, see the Da Nang to Tam Ky – Quang Ngai car rental guide.
