Phu Quoc

Phu Quoc Island has picturesque beaches, romantic sunsets, evergreen woods, and a peaceful ambiance, making it a perfect vacation spot for anyone wishing to get away from the hustle and bustle of city life. The northern half of the island, which lies 45 kilometers west of Ha Tien in Vietnam’s extreme south, remains largely undisturbed due to its position as a UNESCO-listed national park, but the southern coastline has plenty of opulent resorts, trendy clubs, and cute cafes. Visitors can enjoy traditional towns, huge nature parks, and Buddhist pagodas in addition to beach activities. Phu Quoc’s dining scene caters to a wide range of budgets and tastes, from local markets selling fresh seafood and Vietnamese street food to expat-owned bistros serving authentic western and European cuisine.

Transportation

How to get there

Getting to Phu Quoc Island by plane is unquestionably the finest option. The flight time from Ho Chi Minh City is short, so you’ll arrive relaxed and ready to explore the island. A cheaper option is to take a bus from Ho Chi Minh City to Ha Tien or Rach Gia and then take a quick boat across the Gulf of Thailand.

Ways to get around the island

- Private car or taxi: Outside Phu Quoc International Airport, as well as important resorts and attractions on the island, taxis are widely accessible. It is one of the quickest ways to get from Phu Quoc International Airport to the main town, and most taxi drivers are fluent in English and ready to recommend the best places and restaurants on the island. Taxi rates vary depending on your hotel’s location; anticipate paying anywhere between VND 90,000 and VND 600,000, excluding the VND 20,000 airport toll.

- Motorcycle Rental: Motorcycles are ideal for adventurous travelers who want to take their time exploring Phu Quoc Island. Although traffic in Duong Dong’s main town is less crowded than in other Vietnamese cities, the roads leading to the countryside and Phu Quoc National Park are meandering and rough. In Duong Dong, bike rental shops can be found on Hai Ba Trung Street, with daily fees ranging from VND 120,000 to VND 250,000. Motorcycle rentals are available at most resorts, but at a premium cost. Before you get on the road, make sure the bike is in good working order, especially the brakes!

- Bicycle Rental: The majority of hotels and resorts on Phu Quoc Island rent bicycles for roughly $1 per day. Cycling is a terrific way to stay fit while on vacation in Duong Dong and Long Beach. It’s ideal for short journeys inside Duong Dong and Long Beach. Due to terrible road conditions, we strongly advise against cycling outside of the main town; nevertheless, if you’re up for the challenge, make sure to wear a helmet and face mask.

Between November and May, is the greatest time to visit Phu Quoc Island since the weather is most stable. The rains have stopped and the waves are not very strong during this period.
