Well organized leisure. Snorkeling, beach. Good lunch in Vietnamese style. The most fun is a speedboat ride on big waves. It is advisable to take 4000k dong for two to try all the offered activities.

The experience was great. The tour leader Brian was reliable and humorous. I will look for him again if I have the chance to come to Phu Quoc Island next time. It was very interesting!

It is a perfect one-day tour, free pick-up, the guide is super nice, no sales, no extra charge (photos and videos are all free, be sure to take more photos), plenty of free time, and super good water quality. The main thing is that the guide has a good attitude, especially huy👍👍, the travel agency should give him a promotion and a raise,

The travel arrangement is very reasonable. When taking photos on the first island, the tour guide will help you choose very beautiful scenery, guide you to take pictures and videos with drones and cameras. The photos are all free, which is really beautiful. On the second island, you can eat and change clothes, and you can also soak in the sea water for a while. The third place is snorkeling. The biggest highlight for girls is the first island. You must bring a bright skirt, sunglasses and a nice swimsuit. It is really great to take pictures, a big surprise.
