Phu Quoc 4 Islands by Speedboat: Private Tour with Lunch

Summary

Speeding to four Phu Quoc islands with a local guide & lunch

You’ll ride a speedboat to four southern Phu Quoc islands with a local guide, snorkel over bright coral reefs, feed curious fish by hand, relax beneath coconut trees, and share lunch on an island beach. With hotel pickup included and plenty of time to swim or just watch the waves roll in, it’s one of those days you’ll remember long after the trip.

What’s the experience like?

Ever wondered what the water really smells like out near Phu Quoc’s southern islands? I didn’t expect it — sort of salty-sweet, mixed with sunscreen and a bit of engine oil from our speedboat (not in a bad way). Our guide, Minh, picked us up right after breakfast and kept joking about how we’d all look like lobsters if we forgot sunscreen. He was right, honestly. The drive to An Thoi Port was quick, maybe twenty minutes from our hotel, but I lost track because Minh kept pointing out odd-shaped trees and telling us which ones had the best coconuts.

The first stop was Coconut Islet — there’s this whole “Ocean World” thing going on there. You can do sea walking or ride banana floats if you want (I chickened out on both), but just watching the locals zip around on jet skis was enough for me. The water was so clear I could see my toes even before jumping in. At Gam Ghi Islet, Minh handed us snorkels and masks; I’m not a strong swimmer but he made sure everyone felt safe. The coral looked almost fake — too bright to be real — and these little yellow fish kept darting around my fingers when I tried feeding them bread. It tickled more than I expected.

Lunch happened at Mây Rút Trong islet, under this patchwork roof that let sunlight through in weird shapes. We ate grilled fish that tasted smoky and sweet at the same time (I still think about that sauce), and Minh taught us how to say thank you in Vietnamese — “cảm ơn”, though my pronunciation got a laugh from the kitchen staff. After lunch most people just sprawled out under the coconut trees or floated in the shallow water. There was this lazy hum of conversation mixed with waves slapping against the sand.

Last stop: Mây Rút Ngoài islet for more snorkeling or just lazing around. By then my hair felt crunchy from saltwater and my skin smelled like sunblock and seaweed — not glamorous but kind of perfect. We headed back as the sun started dipping lower, everyone a little quieter than before. Maybe tired or maybe just full of that slow island feeling you get after a day outside with strangers who don’t feel so strange anymore.
