Can Tho to Ca Mau
Take the new expressway. It opened in January 2026 and cut the ride to about an hour and a half, half the old three hours. Motorbikes cannot use it, so riders stay on the old road. The expressway stops short of Mũi Cà Mau; the cape is another road day from the city.

Questions

- No. It ends at the IC12 junction at Hồ Thị Kỷ. Đất Mũi is a separate road trip south, through Năm Căn.
- Is there a train to Ca Mau?
- No. The Mekong Delta has no passenger railway, and a planned line to Can Tho does not reach Ca Mau.
