You could ask yourself what you prefer, the convenience or cheaper price but abit of homework and using your navigation skills plus public transport knowledge.
In my opinion, the convenience may suite you better especially if this is your first time in Vietnam and due to the very time you are there. It may cost you abit more, but you will get to your destination and return back with peace of mind.

Hope others from Vietnam may be able to give you more info on this as they may know Cai Be and the best way to approach 聽 your day trip.

Good luck

You can find drivers that will go and stay with you your entire trip no matter how long it is. We recently got a minibus for the entire day 40 600,000. Just negotiate the price that suits you.

My wife is from Cai Be. We have a friend from there that is from the area that hires out as a driver. He now lives in HCM. His name is Lua.聽 and his # is ***. His rates are reasonable and his knowledge of the area will help you enjoy your short stay. He speaks a little English.

You are wise, definitely take the 'dingy' (longtail sampan). You don't want to be in those speedboat ferries with tour groups. The bus we took to C岷�n Th啤 ("gung tuh") was Futa and their bus terminal is in the center of the city. From there you need to get to Ninh Ki峄乽 park on the waterfront. Here is my tip: when you arrive at the bus station, tell them you are going to Thanh Thuy Hotel, 68 Hai B脿 Tr瓢ng street, at Ninh Ki峄乽. They will take you there free, included in your bus ticket. (Don't attempt to pronounce anything, just write down names)

Directly across the street is the waterfront. About 20 yards south there is a at the street intersection.

Find an old lady who looks like she owns the place. She will probably find you if you walk up to the water and look lost. You should see sampans at the river bank. Tell the lady - her English is ok - where you want to go. You pay her, she keeps some and she pays the boat driver.聽 It is like an old rowboat, planks for seats, bring rain gear and waterproof bags for your camera in case of rain.

Beyond the floating market, they can take you down canals. We went to a cafe for breakfast, and then to an orchard. These places are a little touristy, but the 'getting there' was the best part. You can ask the lady about places to go. Tip on return if you like, the driver gets about $1/hour. It will be faster to take a taxi back to the bus station, I don't know about schedules.

I wrote about this twice before, see this post.
