Phu Quoc is undeniably full of natural beauty above the surface. But this tropical paradise is even more breathtaking below sea level, particularly around the An Thoi Archipelago, where the magnificent coral reefs surrounding the island are home to some of Vietnam’s most beautiful marine ecosystems, meaning the snorkelling is excellent.

The best way to find the most breathtaking underwater landscapes is by heading out on a tour with the locals who know this place better than anyone. OnBird is one of the island’s most highly rated companies that offers premium half-day snorkelling excursions to explore some of the archipelago’s most incredible coral formations, such as the extraordinary Half Moon Reef and the magnificent Coral Mountain, all while swimming with aquatic animals that call this spectacular environment their home.

After a few hours exploring the ocean depths, cap off this unforgettable and immersive tour with a trip to a peaceful tropical island, sipping drinks in a gently swaying hammock, making it easily one of the best and most immersive tours in Vietnam, especially for authentic wildlife encounters.

2. Scuba Diving For Beginners Or Certified Divers.

Like many places with outstanding snorkelling opportunities, the reefs around the An Thoi Peninsula are also a diver’s paradise. Whether you’re a beginner just starting out or a certified experienced diver, OnBird knows where the best underwater formations lie and offers intimate small-group dive packages to explore the most captivating coral systems and mesmerizing sub-level terrains surrounding the spectacular islands of Southern Phu Quoc.

The tour is one of the best things to do on Phu Quoc for those with an affinity for the sea won’t want to miss as this immersive underwater experience explores Vietnam’s most breathtaking seascapes and allows participants to get up close and personal with the remarkable creatures that call these unforgettable deep sea landscapes their home.

3. Vin Wonders Phu Quoc.

If you’re looking for a fun and engaging way to entertain the family or incorporate some high-octane thrills into your tropical island getaway, spending a day at Vinwonders Phu Quoc is an extraordinary way to do so.

This colossal theme park is Vietnam’s most expansive and home to several imaginatively themed fantastic sections featuring a wide variety of adrenaline-pumping rides and water slides, such as the Wrath Of Zeus in Adventure Land and the Serpent’s Venom water slide in Typhoon Land, a high ropes activity course in the Mystery Viking Village, fairytale discovery areas for kids at Fantasy Land and the breathtaking Wheel Of Time, which has incredible views overlooking the parks intricately decorated spaces and more all for one admission price.

My boyfriend and I consider this the best theme park in Vietnam and recommend arriving well before opening time as the outside is just as spectacularly designed as the inside, and staying right up until closing as the Once Show is a dazzling light, fire display and theatrical performance that takes place after dark at the park’s centrepiece castle and is a magically way to cap off a day of exhilarating rides and enchanting experiences.

4. Sun World Hon Thom Nature Park.

Along with having one of Asia’s best theme parks, Phu Quoc is also home to one of Vietnam’s best waterparks, Sunworld Aquatopia, where nothing about this fantastic attraction is ordinarily, least of all, getting there.

This immersive world is located on Hon Thom (Pineapple Island) in the breathtaking An Thoi Peninsula and requires a spectacular journey floating a massive 7,899m over several islands riding in the world’s longest cable car just to reach the waterpark. It’s an experience in itself.

But once there, discover a world of exhilarating water slides, including the best tube slides I’ve ever been on, interactive children’s playgrounds, relaxation pools, and one of the most immersive and interactive lazy rivers, making visiting it one of the best things to do on Phu Quoc, especially because of those ceaseless hot and humid days Vietnam is famous for having.

Although SunWorld Hom Thom is predominantly a waterpark, it also has a few thrilling land rides to discover, such as a heart-pounding wooden rollercoaster, an adrenaline-pumping drop tower, a scenic rotating observation tower overlooking the rides and slides, and a private natural beach for those seeking some seaside relaxation amidst all the exciting chaos of tunning around the island offering an excellent escape for all comers, from energetic kids with their parents and guardians to thrill seekers and everyone in between.

Note: The departure point for the cable car is at Sunset Town, which has been meticulously designed with classic Italian architecture. It’s essentially an attraction itself, and I highly recommend arriving early to bask at and capture memorable photos there.

5. Northern Phu Quoc US Army Jeeps.

For those who love adventure and discovering hidden gems, a guided US Army Jeep Tour of Phu Quoc’s untamed north is an exceptional way to explore the lesser-known places of this stunning island that many first-time visitors miss.

Climb aboard a genuine, restored US Miltary Jeep left after the Vietnam War with Phu Quoc Jeep Tours and venture off-road, traversing through dense rainforests to secluded beaches and picturesque lookouts, such as Ganh Dau Cape, which provides breathtaking views across the Gulf Of Thailand to sweeping Cambodian coastline. Learn the history of the Cambodia-Vietnam border and listen to tales of heroism and sacrifice during the country’s war against the American invaders, all while exploring the most beautiful and seldom-seen corners of this tropical paradise.

6. Hike Tien Son Dinh.

A challenging 6km trail, nestled beneath a dense and cooling canopy, will lead you to a breathtaking viewpoint where you can soak in panoramic views of the island and see planes flying in and out of the island’s international airport.
