Snorkelling Tours
Take one of the following boats and get in amongst the incredible coral and sealife that surrounds the Phu Quoc islands!
If you’re looking for a snorkel kit then check out this Greatever mask and snorkel. We have been on so many snorkel and boat tours where the snorkel hire was dreadful and it ruins the experience. If you have room then definitely take your own set. Take a look at our recommended kit here.
Our Top Pick
Small Group Adventure Snorkelling
This small group adventure snorkelling tour with OnBird is one of the best Phu Quoc tours for snorkelling. This is a small group of 6-8 people which I believe is the best way to save money over a private tour but also not get the negatives of a huge group.
You will visit at least two of the most famous reefs near Phu Quoc which will be made even more enjoyable with the in-water guides who are there to ensure safety and point out key features and wildlife in the reef.

Premium 4 Island Snorkelling Trip
This 4 island snorkelling trip absolutely blows me away with its price. 12 is still a relatively small amount of people and with this Phu Quoc tour you get 2 snorkelling stops (the usual amount), 2 beach/island stops and you also get lunch (with alcoholic beverages) included!
I am not surprised by the huge amount of 5-star reviews they have had and I can see this being one of, if not the best, Phu Quoc snorkelling tour there is. Click through to have a look at the reviews and images in more detail.

Private Adventure Snorkelling
This private snorkelling tour is the most expensive of the three snorkelling Phu Quoc tours I have recommended but for good reason, it is completely private. The price changes depending on the group size so if you have a very large group there will be some savings to be made!
Apart from this, it is very similar to the tours above, you will go to multiple snorkelling locations and have an in-water guide to either teach newbies or guide the group around the best spots in the reefs. This is the best option if you simply have to have that private tour experience.

- Tour Duration: 6-8 Hours

Boat Tours
Phu Quoc is a relatively small island with lots to see and do off the coast. This is why boat tours are some of the best Phu Quoc tours available. We believe the first tour in this list might be the best tour in all of Phu Quoc so make sure to have a read and follow the links for availability and price!
3 Island, Waterpark and Cable Car Tour
This incredible tour starts with you going down to the harbour with hotel pick-up included and from there you visit a gorgeous reef for snorkelling or swimming. The snorkel equipment that was provided was some of the best we have ever had anywhere in the world.
Then you make your way over to the second island where you have lunch on board the boat. The lunch was a pretty decent spread of seafood and vegetable dishes which I rate quite highly.
After lunch, you make your way over to the island where there is a gorgeous white sand beach with a bar where you can grab a beer and relax on the beach for a short time.
You then make your way over to Pineapple island where you will be bussed off to the incredible water world away park where you have a short time to run around the park trying to get on as many slides and rides as you can.
Finally, you make your way back to the main island on the incredible Phu Quoc cable car which is the longest in the entire world and boasts some of the most incredible views of Phu Quoc.
As you can see, this tour is extremely dense with activities and it is very fast-paced. If you only have a short amount of time on Phu Quoc then this is absolutely the best of all the Phu Quoc tours. If you have a little more time then maybe book multiple tours so you can spend a bit more time doing each activity.

3 Island Hopping Boat Tour
This tour is by the same provider above (John’s yours) and is basically the same tour but without the stop at the waterpark and the cable car. This may be perfect for you, especially if you don’t like heights or waterparks are not really your thing.
It is also the same length as the tour above (8 hours) which means that each stop is much more relaxed and you have more time to experience and enjoy each activity. If this sounds like more your thing then be sure to check it out right here.

Sight Seeing Phu Quoc Tours
There is absolutely loads to do in Phu Quoc that does not require a boat to get to. The following Phu Quoc tours are the best sightseeing tours in Phu Quoc that are all land-based. They are perfect for exploring the array of things to do on the mainland as well as for people who are not the best on boats (poor Jade did struggle on the boat tours we went on).

The North By US Army Jeep
This company uses authentic US Army jeeps that were left after the Vietnam war to explore the wild north of Phu Quoc Island. If that hasn’t piqued your interest then I don’t know what will! (you can do this tour in a modern jeep if you would rather, just speak to the provider at the time of booking).
You start by making your way up to the Ganh Dau border where you can see Cambodia around 4km off the coast. After that, you’ll make your way through the jungle where you will have the opportunity to take a walk as well as drive to see the incredible scenery.
The tour continues with a stop at a fishing village, a secluded beach and a pepper farm before returning to the hotel. This is a one-of-a-kind experience in Phu Quoc and I highly recommend checking it out right here.
Key Information
- Tour Duration: 6 Hours
- Pickup Included: Yes

Sightseeing The South
This is probably the most rammed tour of all the Phu Quoc tours on this list. If you want to see the south of mainland Phu Quoc then this is the tour for you.
You visit;
- Pearl Farm
- Sim Wine Factory
- Pepper Farm
- Fishing Village
- Ho Quoc Pagoda
- Sao Beach
- Coconut Prison
- Fish Sauce Factory
Suffice it to say that this tour is going to be fast-paced. A lot of these options have a shopping vibe to them and the prices will be inflated over other places on the island. However, if you are looking to grab some souvenirs and see all of the best sights in the south then this is the tour for you.
Key Information
- Tour Duration: 6 Hours
- Pickup Included: Yes
- Age Suitable For: Any
- Tour Pace: Fast
- Start Time: 9:00 am

Highlights Of The South
I know this is the second highlight of the south Phu Quoc tour on this list but it’s slightly different and may appeal to a different audience. The tour above properly focuses on the mainland and shopping opportunities whereas this tour gives you much more time for the more active, family-orientated activities.
It does start with visits to the pearl farm, Ho Quoc Pagoda and Pineapple prison but it finishes with visits to Sao Beach, the cable car AND the Watertopia aquapark. Both tours are brilliant so choose whichever suits you or your group the most!

Private North & South Tour
This private entire island tour by John’s Tours is a great tour to jump on if you are really limited to time or you have left it the last day to book something. If there’s a group of 4 of you then it also works out to be very cost-effective (the price is per group, up to 4).
This is where you will visit on this hyper-packed Phu Quoc tour;
- Pepper farm
- Sim Wine factory
- Pearl Farm
- Ham Ninh Fishing Village
- Ho Quoc Pagoda
- Sao Beach

Sun World Hon Thom
Sun world on the southern island (Hon Thom) is home to a fantastic water park and theme park which is a definite must-book whilst planning your Phu Quoc tours.
We visited the waterpark towards the end of the tour we went on (check the video towards the end) and we were absolutely blown away by the quality.
Klook.comThis booking will enable you to pre-book your admission ticket to Sun World and this includes the cable car to the island and the return journey. When you consider what you are actually getting with this then I believe this is one of the best deals I have ever experienced.

Vinpearl Safari Park
A very highly rated safari park and zoo with large enclosures for the animals. This is a fantastic activity for families and animal lovers alike. Klook has a cool video to check it out in more detail so be sure to have a look at that here.

Vinwonders Park
Another one of the best Phu Quoc tours for families, this will get you entrance to the excellent VinWonders theme park. As you can see, quite a few of the attractions in Phu Quoc are run by VinPearl and this means that you can get combi-tickets which include multi-day entrances to all of their resorts. If you are interested in more than one of the VinPearl activities then be sure to check that out.

Accommodation For Phu Quoc Tours
Many of the Phu Quoc tours in this list say that they include hotel pickup, however, in most cases, this is only from select locations. You will not be getting pickup if you are staying in the far north of the island for the majority of these tours. The following 3 accommodation options are some of our favourites in Phu Quoc and should all qualify for free pickup when included!
Banner Text
Hostel
If you need a hostel then this is the one to get! Cheap, clean, quality rooms and is right in the middle of Duong Dong town. Picture the perfect hostel in your head, put it in the ideal location and this is it.
Hotel
Just a few minutes drive down the coast, the Green Tree hotel is a very good option if you are looking for something a step up from a hostel. It boasts a gorgeous swimming pool, restaurant and bar to make your stay perfect.
5* Luxury
I always go to write something about these 5* properties and revert to just saying ‘check out the resort by clicking through the button below’. My words are usually not enough to describe the beauty of these accommodation options.

What To Take For Phu Quoc Tours
Many of these Phu Quoc tours have swimming, snorkelling, beaches, shopping and other activities included so you better be prepared! Here is a list of our current, up-to-date, items that we recommend you take with you on your Phu Quoc tours. Be sure to check out the travel essentials at the bottom too!
Our Top Pick
If you haven’t already got a swimming costume then what the hell are you doing?! Have a look at this gorgeous high waist bikini and get a swimsuit before you leave. I absolutely love the dual colour option but there are loads of colour options available. Take a look here.
Our Top Pick
If you need some sunglasses then take a look at our recommended pair right here. Kev has just done 7 months without a pair because he couldn’t find any he liked on the trip and it was just a lot of complaining about the sun. Don’t be a Kev… Find out the price of not being a Kev right here.
Our Top Pick
If you’re in the market for an action camera then our current recommendation is the GoPro Hero 9. Yes, the Hero 10 is currently the flagship but it doesn’t have that much more than the Hero 9 and costs a lot more. The front-facing screen is a godsend for selfies and video and you get the famous GoPro durability and stabilisation that they are now renowned for. Check out current deals here.
Our Top Pick
If you’re looking for a snorkel kit then check out this Greatever mask and snorkel. We have been on so many snorkel and boat tours where the snorkel hire was dreadful and it ruins the experience. If you have room then definitely take your own set. Take a look at our recommended kit here.
Our Top Pick
Don’t even think about stepping out in the sun without protection! This factor 50 sun cream from Sunbum is vegan, reef-safe and smells like summer, as well as being dermatologist approved! It’s non-greasy, easy to apply and doesn’t leave a white cast so you can quickly rub it in and get on with your adventures! Take a look on Amazon here.
Our Top Pick
If you’re stuck on what kind of towel to take with you then take a look at this microfibre poncho. We absolutely love ours and it is insanely helpful when you need to change on the beach. They dry fast and pack down super small so you’ll be able to fit one in your day pack easily enough. Check out the price here.
Our Top Pick
Jade really doesn’t get on well with flip-flops so she always takes a couple of pairs of sandals (in case one pair breaks) on every trip we go on. We recommend checking out these CUSHIONAIR sandals which are comfortable, durable and affordable (the holy trinity!). We chose these because they are vegan suede but there are lots of different materials and colours to choose from. Check them out here!
Our Top Pick
If you’re planning on going to the beach then make sure you have some flip-flops in the bag. There is nothing worse than getting sand in your shoes or socks and there is nothing better than feeling the sand on your feet. We recommend an affordable pair like these Old Navy casual flip-flops. They will get the job done and shouldn’t break almost immediately as other brands might. Check them out in more detail here.
Our Top Pick
For city exploring and shorter hikes, you’ll need a decent day pack. We recommend one like Osprey’s Arcane, as not only can it hold a 15″ laptop, water bottle and everything else you would need day to day but it is also incredibly stylish (we think). We have used Osprey for loads of different bags over the years and they have all been perfect. Check out the Osprey Arcane on Amazon here.
