About the tour
Southern Phu Quoc is a scatter of small islands with crystal-clear water and coral reefs. In one day you'll see the most beautiful of them without lifting a finger: we pick you up at your hotel, drive you to the port, and from there it's just the boat, the islands and the sea.
First stop: Gam Ghi island, one of the best snorkeling spots in the south, with a living coral reef and tropical fish right below the surface. We provide masks, snorkels and life jackets, so even first-timers can join in.
Next up are the May Rut islands. The outer island is full of Instagram-worthy photo spots; on the inner island you'll have a seafood lunch and time on the beach. While you relax, we film your group from a drone — the kind of shots no phone can take.
Who it's for
Couples, friends and families who want to see Phu Quoc's sea at its best in a single day. No snorkeling experience needed: the guide will show you how to use the mask, and the life jacket keeps you afloat.
Not recommended for
Travelers who get badly seasick on boats — take motion sickness pills in advance. If you really don't enjoy the water, take a look at our land tours instead.

FAQ
Do I need to know how to swim?
It helps if you can stay afloat, but we provide life jackets for snorkeling, and even beginners feel comfortable in them. Your guide will show you everything on the spot.
Can I bring children?
Yes, this is one of our most family-friendly tours. Just let us know your children's ages when booking and we'll have everything ready.
What happens if it rains or the sea gets rough?
Light rain won't stop the trip. If boats are not allowed out because of a storm, we'll reschedule the tour or give you a refund.
How do I pay?
A prepayment secures your seats, and the balance is paid on the day of the tour. Your manager will send payment details via messenger.
