“Awful, do not travel with this company. My daughter who is vegetarian could not eat with us, she was alone and they refused she ate with us. So, we have decided to stay with her and they refused to serve the meal. Moreover, there a lot of tourists, too much. I do not recommend this trip, very unpleasant. Any interest”

On the day of the trip, everything ran smoothly without any unnecessary stops at souvenir shops or pearl stores trying to sell something.

They took great care of both beginners and experienced snorkelers, making sure everyone had the best possible experience. Absolutely recommended for anyone visiting Phu Quoc!Read more”

7.3-Island Tour & Cruise with Lunch & Water Sports

★★★★★★★★★★3.7 · 45 reviews · from $36

Spend a full day around Phu Quoc’s An Thoi islands with hotel pickup, a speedboat, snorkeling, lunch, SUP boards, and flycam photos. You visit Hon May Rut Ngoai, Hon Mong Tay or May Rut, and Hon Gam Ghi. Guides including Thu, Tony, and Peanut have earned praise, but the cruise can feel crowded and water sports cost extra.

“Terrible experience, avoid at all costs! We left the hotel at 7 a.m. and after two hours of picking up customers, we arrived at the port and were loaded onto an overcrowded boat. We were transferred to a larger boat, where most people did water sports (jet skiing, parasailing), while we tried snorkeling with our own equipment: no fish, zero visibility, no seabed. Three hours of boredom waiting around. The tour guide? Useless, didn't speak English, repeated three words he had memorized. Second island: lunch was decent, the only acceptable thing. Then more confusion and pressure to buy photos and videos. We got a sunbed and went for a swim…”
