TH❌ We did Phu Quoc WRONG…
(Save this so you don’t repeat our mistakes 🇻🇳)
1. Split your stay between north and south
This is the biggest mistake we made. We stayed in the centre at Duong Dong and regretted it. Phu Quoc is very spread out, and splitting your stay saves a lot of travel time and exhaustion.
2. Do not rush VinWonders and Vinpearl
These places are massive. Either take a two-day entry or a multiple-entry pass. One day feels extremely rushed. Also, check the show schedules in advance so you don’t miss anything important.
3. Buggy service is optional, not mandatory
There are buggy services at VinWonders and Vinpearl Safari for around 100k VND per person. It’s ideal for elderly people. If you can walk, skip it — walking lets you explore more and notice small details.
4. Do not miss the Kiss of the Sea show
Watch it at Sunset Town. The show itself is beautiful, but the fireworks at the end were truly mind-blowing and worth planning your evening around.
5. Be clear about what island tours actually include
We did a three-island tour, but most stops were only for swimming. They actually stop at very few islands. If you don’t know swimming, it can feel boring — like it did for us.
6. Scuba diving is great for first-timers
The sea corals are very colourful. If this is your first scuba experience, Phu Quoc is a good choice. But if you’ve done scuba in Andaman, that experience is still unmatched for us.
