Itinerary
Pick up from your hotel that located in Duong Dong town or other upon your request.
The famous Fingernail Island (Hon Mong Tay or “Hòn Móng Tay”) in Phu Quoc is located in the An Thoi archipelago and is part of the Phu Quoc Marine Park. Not to be confused with the northern Fingernail Island located off the coast of Vung Bau, the fingernail island located in An Thoi is your typical idyllic “Robinson Crusoe” like island – so much in fact that the locals even call it “Hon Robinson” (Hon means island in Vietnamese).
Hon Gam Ghi is an idyllic island and it is part of the An Thoi archipelago which consist of 17 different small islands. This island has a few lovely beaches and it is surrounded by coral. The beach here is very picturesque and you feel like you are truly in paradise. The sand here is a soft powdery white and the sea is clean and turquoise in color. The reef around the island is shallow which makes it perfect for snorkelling. The are a few hard coral species here. In terms of marine life, you may be able to see small fish, sea worms, and a variety of shell fish.
May Rut Island is located 10 kilometers south of An Thoi Town and it is widely considered to be one of Phu Quoc's best “all around” island. The island is privately owned by a small family who have been living here for many years and welcome all tourists to explore what this island has to offer. There's a nice white sand beach, offshore snorkeling and freediving opportunities, camping, and more all to be had on May Rut Island.
Depends on the condition of the sea wave, we will select the good place around Hon Thom island for second snorkeling before coming back to the pier.
Back to An Thoi pier then transfer to your hotel .

We recently did the 3 Islands + Snorkelling Tour with Thanh, a local business owner who runs a tours and travel company in Duong Dong, Phu Coc and the entire experience exceeded our expectations from start to finish. What impressed us the most was the transparency and professionalism throughout the trip. Every single thing that was promised during the booking process was delivered exactly as committed - no hidden surprises, no compromises, and no last-minute changes. In a destination where there are countless tour operators, finding someone reliable can be challenging, and Thanh genuinely stands out for his honesty and customer-first approach. If you are visiting Phu Quoc for the first time, I would highly recommend reaching out to him. Not only will he help you get the best possible deal, but he will also guide you based on your preferences and ensure you have a hassle-free experience. His local knowledge and willingness to assist made a significant difference to our trip. The snorkelling experience itself was fantastic. The skippers and crew were extremely supportive, friendly, and patient throughout the tour. Before entering the water, they conducted a proper briefing and training session, ensuring everyone understood the basic techniques and safety guidelines. This was especially reassuring for first-time snorkellers. Safety was clearly a top priority. The team ensured that all necessary safety protocols were followed, regularly checked on participants in the water, and were always available to assist whenever needed. Their professionalism allowed us to relax and fully enjoy the experience. What truly sets this tour apart is the personalised service. Unlike large group tours where guests can often feel rushed or overlooked, we felt genuinely taken care of throughout the day. The crew made sure everyone was comfortable, enjoying themselves, and getting the most out of the experience. Overall, this was one of the highlights of our Phu Quoc trip. Great value for money, exceptional hospitality, excellent safety standards, and a memorable island-hopping and snorkelling experience. I would not hesitate to recommend Thanh and his team to anyone looking for a reliable, well-organised, and enjoyable tour in Phu Quoc. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Very good service and people coming here can consider them as first priority
The experience was super. Everything was well planned and executed
Excellent day snorkeling had an amazing interaction with a baby octopus trying to camouflage itself, combine that with a private boat and private lunch at an authentic local restaurant. Definitely, worthwhile beating the crowds with the private tour. Thanks to Thanh and his crew for a great day.
Our guide Thuong was fantastic
Unfortunately this experience was very disappointing. While our guide was incredibly informative and kind, where we went snorkeling was near an island that was under construction; we could hear the sound of palm trees being ripped out of the earth on a beautiful island (were building a water/theme park) the entire time we were in the sea. In the water, not only was there very little sea life but we were absolutely surrounded by trash. Giant bags of trash on the sea floor, baby bottles, plastic bottles, hairbrushes, wrappers, soda cans, rubber, bits of styrofoam everywhere. Saw many dead fish in the water as well. It was really heartbreaking. We were actually picking tiny pieces of styrofoam off our bodies when we got out of the water. The beaches on Phu Quoc were even worse. Not blaming anyone, as this is a human problem that we are all a part of, but it was very disheartening to see a once pristine and natural place turned into a landfill/theme park. Overall a very bad— and very sad— experience.
I had an unforgettable experience on a private boat tour exploring the stunning islands around Phu Quoc, Vietnam. From start to finish, everything was seamless and exceeded expectations. The day began with a private hotel pick-up, which was so convenient and stress-free. Once we arrived at the boat, we were warmly welcomed by the crew, who were friendly, professional, and attentive throughout the day. The tour included visits to three breathtaking islands, each offering something unique. We snorkeled at two of the islands, where the vibrant coral reefs and colorful marine life were simply mesmerizing—like swimming in an underwater paradise. The snorkeling gear was provided and in excellent condition, which made the experience even better. The final stop was at a serene, postcard-perfect island where we enjoyed a refreshing swim in crystal-clear waters. The highlight was a delicious lunch prepared with fresh, local ingredients—such a treat to savor it in such a beautiful setting! This private tour was the perfect mix of adventure and relaxation. Having the boat to ourselves made it feel extra special, and the itinerary was thoughtfully planned to avoid crowds, allowing us to fully soak in the beauty of these islands. If you’re visiting Phu Quoc and want an exclusive, unforgettable day out on the water, I cannot recommend this private boat tour enough. It’s worth every penny!
Don’t waste your money. We have done a number of tours in Vietnam and this was the worst. A complete rip off and nothing as advertised. We paid almost $1000 aud for this private tour. It was specifically advertised as having an English speaking guide and tailors to your family and day. The guide had no English at all and couldn’t even use google translator. We have had some great days with non English speaking guides but were told in advance and they all communicated with us in other ways. There was no communication at all on this trip as to what we were doing, when, how and where. From the moment we got out of the car we were hassled by hawkers and had to chase the so called guide to even work out where we were going. The fish were amazing but we went to the exact same spots all the other 20 group boats went to and the same for lunch. I asked if the sea was calm, he nodded and then I ended up sick as it was rough. He got another tour guide to ask if I was just tired. The boat hand tried to help and was more useful than the tour guide. We booked a private tour to be looked after and they didn’t even offer snorkel gear- we had to try and ask for this. As compensation the operator offered a $50 discount which was a bit of a joke.
We cannot recommend Truly Vietnam Tours more! We almost went through our resort and decided to see what was offered through local travel agencies. Truly Vietnam Tour arranged exactly what we needed for half of the price that the brochures do! We went island hopping and wanted our own private speedboat for 4 people. We were able to visit 4 different island at our own pace and were provided drinks, snorkels, towels. We are not big seafood people, so we mentioned this and Truly Vietnam Tours arranged a BBQ chicken meal with sides and fruits for lunch instead. As a "gift" they also were able to arrange drone to take some video of our family on one of the islands and then sent it to us. It could not have been a more perfect day! HIGHLY recommend Truly Vietnam Tours!!
We had a amazing time snorkelling, all the crew were great. Boat out to islands and back very quick. Spent more time in water snorkelling than on boat ❤️
