Snorkeling in Phu Quoc: 3 Islands with Cable Car

Snorkel three coral reefs, then ride the cable car over the islands you just left

A nine-hour snorkeling tour in Phu Quoc visits three islands (Gam Ghi, Hon Mong Tay and Hon May Rut) with a guide, boat transport and cable car ride included. You snorkel the coral reefs at each stop, swim in clear water, and finish the afternoon at Hon Thom Water Park before returning to your hotel.

Step-by-step itinerary

Phu Quoc 3 Island Tour and Water Park

• Transfer back to hotel

The experience

Your hotel pickup in Duong Dong town starts the day. The boat takes you to Gam Ghi Island first, where the coral reefs are the draw. The water is clear enough to see the fish moving through them, and the island itself has white sand and a quiet feel. Hon Mong Tay comes next, in the southern part of Phu Quoc, with its own set of reefs and the same kind of beach. Hon May Rut is the third stop, smaller and lined with coconut palms, and this is where you get the chance to eat fresh seafood if you want it. The island has a simple restaurant run by local fishermen. Between the snorkeling, you swim and rest on the sand.

The cable car ride happens on the way back. It crosses from one of the islands to Hon Thom, and from the car you see the water and the islands you've been in all day from above. Hon Thom Water Park sits at the end of the cable car line. It has water slides, pools and shaded areas, so you can cool off or just sit if you're tired. Lunch is included somewhere in the middle of the day, and the tour guide speaks English or Vietnamese.

The nine-hour stretch means you leave early and return by late afternoon, which leaves your evening free. Snorkeling gear is provided, so you don't pack it. The air-conditioned vehicle handles the transfers, and bottled water comes with you.
