Underwater activities in Phu Quoc

See Brief Itinerary

Phu Quoc is the ideal destination for water activities, with warm crystal waters, pristine white sand beaches, and an unrivaled ecosystem across SE Asia. Due to Phu Quoc’s wide variety of terrain, beaches, and exquisite coral reefs, an abundance of activities can be enjoyed here.


Snorkeling
Amidst its calm and shallow waters, Phu Quoc offers some of the most elite snorkeling across Vietnam and Southeast Asia. With many untouched islands above the north and the south tip, a quick boat ride can take you to an array of ancient natural coral reefs. You can take a speedboat, a large fishing boat, or for an extra local experience, you can take a small angling boat. All group sizes can be catered for, and it is accessible to everybody, regardless of age, health, and swimming prowess.
You can organize an entire day trip on the dock, with everything catered for, including masks, snorkels, and life jackets. Because of the abundance of islands, we suggest that you make a small tour, explore the variety of stunning reefs, all of which offer unique scenes, and stop for a delicious seafood lunch on one of the white-sand beaches. Click here to see our suggested seafood specialties.
We would recommend making either a full-day or a half-day, as you will need to set off back to shore by sunset – one of Phu Quoc’s most spectacular sights. Go here for our island hopping suggestions.

Scuba Diving
Scuba diving is one of the most exciting and memorable activities you can enjoy on Paradise Pearl Island, as Phu Quoc Island is home to the best coral reefs in Vietnam. The coral is particularly exquisite thanks to the beautiful calm conditions and the coral’s multi-layer structure. Scuba diving on Phu Quoc presents the opportunity of a lifetime to explore the bright, colorful, and downright awe-inspiring underwater world. Teeming with life, Phu Quoc boasts almost 400 species of hard coral and an abundance of soft coral.
There are two main areas to scuba dive on Phu Quoc, either on the north or the south islands. Both trips offer unique qualities, such as spotting the octopus in the north or swimming in corals that have developed diverse and vibrant ecosystems in the south.

Night Squid Fishing
A must-try activity on Phu Quoc is the rare opportunity to join local fishers and catch squid as night falls. Squid is one of the most popular seafood dishes on Phu Quoc, and as evening descends, so does the soft green glow on the skyline. Of course, the green lights mean lots of squids, and consequently, you will observe many local fishers lying in wait for their catch.
On the boat, you will be given a 1.5-meter bamboo fishing rod and bait. The tour guides will explain the various types of bait and the different techniques. The primary method is to release the fishing line into the water and shake the rod around every three seconds.
The best time for squid fishing is on calm nights, and the darker the night, the more successful you are likely to be. A sunset dining cruise is also an option, or after the tour, you can take your catch back to shore and enjoy a delicious squid meal.
Sailing
A novel life-enhancing experience is now available to enjoy on Phu Quoc Island. Previously devoid of sailboats, the island now offers a couple of options for the aspiring sailor.
Whether you are new to sailing or a salty dog, there is nothing quite like the experience of the wind in your hair as you observe stunning Phu Quoc island sail by. You will learn your port from your starboard and discover how to tack and steer to change the direction of the ocean powered by the winds. Sailing can be enjoyed at any time but is most enjoyable with a light breeze and a small current. So make sure you bring your Go Pro for an experience of a lifetime.

Fishing
Fishing on Phu Quoc is an unforgettable experience, and the island is ideal for seasoned anglers or those simply wishing to give it a try. Because fishing is the most vital source of income, it is one the most fun and engaging means to have an immersive local Phu Quoc experience. There are many ways to experience fishing on Phu Quoc, whether with a large group of fishers on a big boat or a local guide on a smaller boat. Each offers an authentic and memorable Vietnamese fishing experience as you encounter the lifestyle of the local people. Various fishing options, including angling, cast-net, and night fishing, are all possible year-round on Phu Quoc. After your fishing trip, you will feast on your bounty of tasty seafood with your fellow fishers. Go here to see what seafood options we recommend. We suggest talking with a travel agent to book your Vietnamese fishing trip of a lifetime.

Guides in Hanoi Siem Reep and Saigon were fantastic. May our guide in Saigon was so nice and very gracious. Our guide on the ship Adam was outstanding and would be a great asset to AnbinhTravel. The AMA sip was wonderful, food great, tours nice and service impeccable. We would use your agency again for sure. Thank you to Danny for Doing this for us. I would upgrade everyone to the Metropole in Hanoi. It was an experience in itself. A fine old world hotel.

Our guides were very customer oriented, except Johnny in Saigon, who really was so self interested and not focused on giving us the best tour. The last hotel was very poor compared to others and left us with a bad taste. Especially with Anantara only a few doors away. In addition, we asked for boutique hotels like Anantara and were put in a large corporate hotel in Saigon. The fact that the tour arranger did not pick up that we had no flights from Siem Reap to Hanoi was very disturbing and created much upset on the trip. We only did very touristy things. We were hoping, as with other tours, you would offer opportunities off the beaten track that were more original and different, this was disappointing.

Hi Daisy.
We had a wonderful trip to Hanoi and to Halong Bay. Your planning and service was very gracious and thorough. Mr. Hung was very interesting, intelligent and patient with us. His care and servicces were very accommodating. He knows the area and the history of the area which we appreciated very much. His help with our luggage and rescheduling our flight back to HCMC was very helpful.

Thank you for such a memorable trip. When we return we will contact you and 365 again to plan our travels to other areas we would like to visit when we come again to Vietnam.

We will share our experiences with our family and our friends.

I could not be happier with your service and the planning of this wonderful trip. Everything was first class. Although I was traveling alone, I felt safe and secure at all times. In particular my travel consultant Danny P. should be highly praised for all his knowledge and work to put this together. Thank you Danny

We are 2 women of certain age and are seasoned travelers but do not understand Vietnamese language so, we thought it would be good idea to engage local travel agent. And glad we did!! We started Hanoi, and visited Haron Bay, Hue, Danang, Hoi An and finally Ho Chi Min in total of 2 weeks. Daisy of AnbinhTravel helped us to shape our itinerary and booked all our hotels, local tours, and arranged all the logistics. She understood and responded to our requests and questions very quickly. All the hotels were safe, clean, good service, convenient location, with good daily breakfast. And within our budget that we indicated to her. Our guides in each locations are all nice, knowledgeable, eager to show us around. They came to pick us up at the hotel with fairly new, clean car with water bottles everyday. They were right on time. Traffic in Vietnam is as such, we were glad we had a comfortable car with reliable driver everywhere we go!
All in all, AnbinhTravel provided us excellent service to us and the worth money spent. We highly recommend!

We enjoyed the entire trip. The guide in Hanoi was satisfactory. The guide in Hue and the rest of Vietnam Suooang was terrific. She went out of her way. We loved her. The guide Chia in Bangkok was also superior. He also went out of his way to add to our trip. The guide in Siem Repp was not terrific. I wore a sleeveless dress in the morning. We went back to the hotel after lunch before Angkor Wat. Of course they didn't want to let me go up to the top. He should have told me to change. He knew they wouldn't let me up.

Anbinh Travel was recommended to me by friends who have previously written an excellent review. When they returned from Vietnam, I was ready to go! Thanks to the professional assistance from Daisy and Cindy at Anbinh, I was able to put together a 16 day trip of Vietnam, from North to South, in about 5 days. Cindy and Daisy asked my preferences, and I left it to them, as my knowledge then about Vietnam was severely limited. They asked my preferences, and I told them that some cycling, trekking, sightseeing and special experiences were what I was after. They did not disappoint! From the moment we-a dear friend accompanied me-were met at the airport, every detail was taken care of. We experienced three guides, Mr. Phung In Hanoi, Thuy in Hue and surroundings, and Thung in Saigon. Also, each vehicle had a driver, who led us all around Vietnam safely. They are to be commended. The hotels were wonderful, and the pricing for this trip was beyond affordable. I am looking forward to booking with Anbinh next year to include Cambodia and Thailand. Thank you, Daisy and Cindy, and everyone at Anbinh, for an unforgettable trip to an amazing country. The people are kind, and cannot do enough for you. Service is priority, whether in the city or country, and I would return in a heartbeat, working with Anbinh !
