7 best things to do in Phu Quoc
1. Island hopping
Off the coast of the main island are many smaller islands with more beautiful beaches that you can visit by boat trip.
Several boat trips are organized. This way you can quickly visit various islands with a speedboat. The larger boats are slow, but have a place to enjoy a drink, have a BBQ and jump off the boat.
The most beautiful islands of Phu Quoc are the An Thoi island group, at the southernmost point. A perfect place for snorkeling, swimming and fishing.
2. Visit local fishing villages
To get a taste of the Vietnamese culture, you can visit the fishing villages along the coast. See how boats are repaired on land, the houses the fishermen live in and the basket boats that lie on the beach to paddle to the fishing boats that lie off the coast. It is an authentic experience and an interesting change from the beautiful beach life. Ham Ninh village and Ganh Dau are two fishing villages that are well worth a visit.
3. Diving & snorkeling
This island may not be the best place to dive in Vietnam, but it is one of the most popular things to do in Phu Quoc. There are several options for diving in Phu Quoc, for both beginners and experienced divers.
Snorkeling is possible during day tours. You can do a boat tour to May Rut Island Finger Island and Dam Ngang Island, where you can snorkel among the fish and coral.
4. Visit local plantations and factories
For Vietnamese, Phu Quoc, beyond its beautiful beaches, is also known for its pepper and famous fish sauce that is used in almost every dish.
