Phu Quoc is Vietnam’s largest island and its fastest-growing resort destination. The An Thoi archipelago to the south contains some of the most pristine coral in Southeast Asia, the national park covers 50% of the island’s interior, and the cable car to Hon Thom Island is the world’s longest tri-rope cable car. Tours here divide between sea-based adventures (snorkelling, island hopping, sunset cruises), land-based discovery (south island cultural sights, national park hikes), and big-ticket attractions (VinWonders theme park, Vinpearl Safari). Below we cover the best options across every style and budget.

For Everyone: The 4-Island Speedboat Tour
The four-island speedboat tour of the An Thoi archipelago is Phu Quoc’s defining experience. The islands — Hon Thom, Hon Roi, Hon Mong Tay, and Hon Dam — sit in some of the clearest water in Vietnam. The speedboat format (rather than slower wooden boats) means you reach more islands in a full day without spending the majority of the time in transit.
The From Phu Quoc: Discover 4 Islands by Speedboat Full Day Tour covers all four islands with swimming, snorkelling equipment included, lunch on one of the islands, and hotel pick-up from Phu Quoc’s main resort area. From approximately $25/person — the most popular format on GYG for good reason.
For dedicated snorkellers who want to prioritise reef quality over beach stops, the Phu Quoc: 4 Islands & 2 Reefs Snorkelling by Speedboat makes two extended coral reef stops — covering the best sections of An Thoi’s marine protected area — alongside island beach stops. From approximately $28/person.

For Couples and Luxury Seekers: Small-Group Premium Snorkelling
The standard island-hopping boats carry 30–50 passengers. Premium tours cap at 12 people, use faster boats, and spend more time in the water at each reef.
The Phu Quoc: Chillax Snorkelling — 4 Islands & Sunset BBQ (max 12) is exactly that format: small group, high-quality snorkel gear, extended time at two reef sites, beach time on two private-feeling islands, and a sunset BBQ to finish. From approximately $45/person. This is the standout choice for couples and anyone who finds crowded boat tours frustrating.
The Phu Quoc: 4-Island Speedboat Tour + Cable Car Trip combines island hopping with a return cable car trip to Hon Thom (the Phu Quoc cable car spans 7.9 kilometres across open sea — the world’s longest tri-rope cable car as of 2026) and access to the Hon Thom waterpark. From approximately $35/person — a full-day itinerary that covers the island’s two most iconic experiences.

For Culture and History Lovers: South Island Tour
Phu Quoc’s southern tip contains a cluster of culturally interesting sights that many beach-focused visitors miss: a functioning pepper farm (Phu Quoc pepper is exported globally and has EU Protected Geographical Indication status), a fish sauce factory (the island’s traditional industry for centuries), pearl farms, and the Coconut Tree Prison — a war museum documenting the brutal conditions in which thousands of Vietnamese communist prisoners were held by South Vietnamese and later US-backed forces.
The Phu Quoc South Island: Beach, Coconut Prison & Sunset Town combines the pearl farm, pepper farm, Ho Quoc Pagoda (an ocean-facing Buddhist temple), Bai Sao Beach (consistently ranked among Southeast Asia’s finest beaches), the Coconut Prison war museum, and the Sunset Town entertainment district. 8-hour private group format with hotel pick-up. From approximately $30/person.
The Pearl Farm, Coconut Prison & Bai Sao Beach Tour focuses specifically on these three — a more concise version of the south island circuit. From approximately $25/person.

For Families with Children: Vinpearl Safari and VinWonders
Vinpearl Safari Phu Quoc is a conservation wildlife park on the northern end of the island. Over 3,000 animals from 150 species are spread across African savannah, Asian forest, and Australian outback zones — the open-format zoo design means animals roam in large enclosures visible from elevated walkways and an open-vehicle safari bus. This is Vietnam’s best zoo experience and genuinely impressive by international standards.
The Phu Quoc: Vinpearl Safari Entry Ticket provides direct entry. Adult tickets cost approximately 600,000–750,000₫ as of 2026; booking through GYG sometimes provides a small discount. Allow 4–6 hours.
For a full day combining multiple Vinpearl properties, the Phu Quoc: Vin Safari, VinWonders & Grand World Day Tour adds VinWonders (a large water and theme park complex) and Grand World (a pedestrianised entertainment district with light shows at night). Transport between sites is included; entry tickets are bundled into the price. From approximately $65/person — expensive by Vietnamese standards but represents good value when you calculate individual ticket prices.

For Active Travellers: National Park Hiking
Phu Quoc National Park covers approximately 31,400 hectares — more than half the island — and supports old-growth tropical rainforest, several endemic species, and a network of marked trails. Independent hiking is possible but guides add significant value for birdwatching (the park has over 130 recorded bird species) and navigating the unmarked forest paths.
Day hikes typically depart from the Ham Ninh fishing village area or the park’s eastern gate. Tranh Stream waterfall (accessible via a 4-kilometre forest trail) is the most popular destination; peak flow is during the rainy season (May–October). Guided hiking tours from approximately $30–40/person including transport and guide.

Practical Tips for Booking Phu Quoc Tours
Best booking window: Island speedboat tours sell out during Vietnamese public holidays and peak international season (December–February). Book 3–5 days ahead. Rainy season (May–October) has better availability and lower prices but weather can limit boat tours.
Snorkelling conditions: The An Thoi archipelago has the best visibility and coral integrity on the island’s southern side. Tours departing from An Thoi pier (southern tip) have shorter transit times than those departing from Duong Dong (the main town). Confirm your boat’s departure pier when booking.
Cable car timing: The Hon Thom cable car operates approximately 8am–10pm. Arrive before 10am to avoid midday queues; sunset crossings (5–6pm) are particularly scenic.
Bai Sao Beach: If visiting independently, hire a motorbike in Duong Dong (approximately ₫150,000/day) — taxis to Bai Sao are disproportionately expensive for the distance.
Seasonal note: Phu Quoc’s dry season runs November to April. From May to October, monsoon rains and increased wave height reduce boat tour availability. Some operators suspend island-hopping tours for 1–3 days during storms — check conditions before booking.
Currency: Most resort and tour operators accept USD; local markets and street vendors prefer Vietnamese dong (₫). As of 2026, approximately $1 ≈ ₫25,000.
