It probably would’ve been a nice experience, however, we ended up having to cancel because there were weather concerns. The trip was booked a day before, but there were many changes to time, possible adverse weather conditions, how many people in the group, etc, up until the time for the adventure. It took 30 or so minutes to get to the next pick up spot, and then another 30 months minutes to get to the boat. Then came the adverse weather possibilities, so one hour and a half and we were in the van sweating. However, the crew were nice and kind. It wasn’t their fault, a ride back to our villa and payment was refunded. But precious time were wasted, especially on a short trip. My advice, make sure of the weather conditions before booking,
I went snorkeling with OnBird today (a friend said they are the best provider of such experience on Phu Quoc) - what a wonderful team, I had a great time. Everything is top notch, very professional. To point out details - clear communication, I was sent lists of what to pack, weather forecasts, lots of useful tips in advance. Pick up from the hotel - on time, good vehicle. English speaking guides (we were divided into groups where 1 guide took care of just 3 guests, great for beginner swimmers as they are constantly monitored and helped). BEST mask I ever snorkeled in (I’ll buy one as soon as I’m back home). I was explained what sunscreen not to use to protect the coral, and part of the payment you make goes towards restoring the ecosystem. Trip ended up with a BBQ on a beach prepared by the team. Just awesome, 5 stars, highly recommend, will go again myself next time I’m on the island. PS: it was raining a bit - wasn’t as issue at all, just as gorgeous.

I've been to many snorkeling and island hopping tours in other parts of the world and this trip with the OnBird team is one of the most enjoyable tours. The port to hop on to the speedboat was only 15 min away from Sunset town so only a 30 min car ride from where we stayed which was nice. The speedboat ride was again not too long so no one experienced sea sickness. The team was very professional and fluent in English to explain the gear and coral species. The coral and fish view was just spectacular! One of the clearest waters we had encountered and the coral was so close to you!!! We will definitely come back to this tour with OnBird when we return to Phu Quoc! Highly recommended.

At the outset I would like to thank Onbird Phu Quoc for making our Snorkling dream come true. We were a group of Seven people. Honestly, none of us knew ABC of swimming and none of us had any previous experience of Snorkeling. Firstly we all received a briefing about Safety and use of Snorkeling equipment and practice in shallow sea shore which gave us the much needed confidence. The snorkeling equipments were of very good quality. Onbird team took all of us for Snorkeling at one of the best location of Phu Quoc to see Corals and many colorful fishes. I would like to mention specially that at all the time during Snorkeling, the tour guides went along with us. We could not imagine that our Snorkeling could have gone more smoothly than what we all experienced. Thanks again to Onbird Team.
Dear Sudhanshu Dhingra, Thank you so much for your wonderful and heartfelt review! We’re truly delighted to hear that we could help turn your snorkeling dream into reality. It’s especially rewarding to know that despite having no previous swimming or snorkeling experience, your group felt confident and comfortable after the safety briefing and practice session. Our team is passionate about providing close in-water support, so we’re very happy that having the guides alongside you throughout the snorkeling experience made such a positive difference. Thank you again for your kind words. We hope to welcome you and your group back to Phu Quoc for another unforgettable adventure! 🌊🐠 Best regards, OnBird Phu Quoc Team
