Welcome to Phu Quoc

Phu Quoc: Paradise on Earth

Hello, welcome to the Phu Quoc virtual Tour. Phu Quoc is an island south of Cambodia that belongs to Vietnam.

Until recently this was a fishing island known only among Vietnamese for its fish sauce. In the last decade tourism has developed fast. Nowadays the accommodation offer is quite varied. From cheap bungalows in front of the beach, to some of the best beach resorts I have ever seen.

The color of the waters, the soft sand beaches, the landscapes and the sunsets in Phu Quoc are spectacular. If you accompany me, I will show you all this in this online presentation of the paradisiacal island of Phu Quoc.

Phu Quoc: Northwest

The island of Phu Quoc has a triangular shape. On the west side of the Island, lies the biggest beach, called Long Beach. It is here that most of the hotels are located. The beach on this side of the island is more than 5 miles long. North of Long Beach lies the island's biggest town, Duong Dong. South of Long Beach lies the second largest town in Phu Quoc, An Thoi.

On the east side of the island are some famous white sand beaches, like Bai Dan and Bai Sao. North of these beaches lie some fishing villages. Northwest lies Ganh Dau, and some unspoiled beaches. On the Island center there are the pepper fields, the rain forest, the Suoi Da Ban river and its waterfalls.

In the picture you can see one of the beaches in the Northwest part of the island.

Phu Quoc: Long Beach

To get to the island you have two options, planes and ferries. From Ho Chi Minh (Saigon) by plane to Duong Dong the flight takes less than an hour. You can also fly from Rach Gia (South of the Mekong Delta).

You can go from Rach Gia to An Thoi (South of Phu Quoc Island) by ferry. Even though there is a fast ferry, I can only recommend going to the island by plane, because most of the times the sea is not very calm.

No matter which transportation you choose to get to the island, reserve ahead.

Cruise ships also visit the island. I think it is on Saturdays that ships dock in Duong Dong.

If your hotel does not have a pick up service, you will have to take a taxi from the airport.
