Embark on an unforgettable island-hopping expedition, commencing with a convenient morning pickup from your Phu Quoc hotel. A knowledgeable, English-speaking guide will accompany you throughout the day, sharing fascinating insights into the rich marine ecosystems, unique island formations, and captivating local culture of this burgeoning destination. A comfortable, air-conditioned vehicle will transport you on a scenic journey to An Thoi Harbor, situated at Phu Quoc Island's southernmost point.

09:00 - 09:30: Upon arrival at An Thoi Harbor, formerly a quaint fishing village, now modernized to cater to the increasing tourism, a concise safety briefing will be provided before boarding a state-of-the-art speedboat. Modern amenities, including life jackets, shaded seating areas, and refreshment facilities, are available onboard. As you depart, the vibrant fishing fleet, a testament to the region's enduring maritime traditions, will be observed.

The An Thoi Archipelago, a breathtaking collection of fifteen islands and islets, is located south of Phu Quoc's main island, its pristine beauty preserved within the Phu Quoc Marine Park. Many islands remain uninhabited, offering an unspoiled tropical paradise, reminiscent of celebrated destinations, yet devoid of overwhelming tourist crowds. Your expert guide will highlight notable landmarks throughout your journey.

09:30 - 10:30: Your first stop is the strikingly picturesque May Rut Trong Island (Inner May Rut), a small island haven featuring an idyllic horseshoe-shaped bay. The tranquil waters exhibit a mesmerizing spectrum of turquoise and deep blue hues. This secluded island boasts pristine, powdery white sand beaches that remain refreshingly cool under the tropical sun.

Here, ample time is provided for capturing breathtaking vacation photographs, swimming in the crystal-clear waters, or simply unwinding on the immaculate shore. The island provides unparalleled photographic opportunities, particularly for landscape enthusiasts. Drone photography is permitted (subject to local regulations), offering stunning aerial perspectives that highlight the island's captivating contrast between white sand and turquoise waters.

10:45 - 12:30: Next, your island-hopping adventure continues to either May Rut Ngoai Island (Outer May Rut) or Mong Tay Island (Fingernail Island), with the final destination determined by your captain based on prevailing sea conditions. Both offer spectacular beaches with minimal development.

A delightful lunch, provided by you, will be enjoyed in this remarkable natural setting. Unlike crowded tourist restaurants, this experience allows for a truly immersive and tranquil meal surrounded by nature's splendor. Following lunch, abundant time is allocated for relaxation and swimming on beaches frequently compared favorably by European visitors to renowned destinations such as Thailand's Phi Phi Islands or the Philippines' El Nido, but without the dense crowds.

12:45 - 14:30: The journey concludes at Gam Ghi Island, celebrated for its exceptional snorkeling opportunities and thriving coral reef ecosystem. Snorkeling equipment will be provided, allowing you to explore the vibrant underwater world, guided by experienced professionals.

This internationally acclaimed attraction boasts exhilarating water slides and features crafted by leading European designers, all within a breathtaking tropical landscape.

Approximately one hour is allocated to explore this world-class facility. Thrill-seekers can experience adrenaline-pumping slides like the Free-Fall Kamikaze, while gentler attractions cater to every preference. The park’s seamless integration into the natural environment creates an atmosphere quite unlike European water parks, while upholding stringent international safety and quality standards. Spectacular views of the archipelago are provided from the park's hillside setting.

4:00 PM - 4:30 PM: A truly unforgettable return is guaranteed aboard the Hon Thom Cable Car, a Guinness World Record holder as the world's longest three-rope overwater cable car. This engineering marvel, spanning nearly eight kilometers between Hon Thom and the main island, employs cutting-edge Austrian-Swiss technology, offering unmatched aerial perspectives of the archipelago.

During the roughly 25-minute journey, an awe-inspiring panorama unfolds – islands scattered across a turquoise expanse, a view impossible to appreciate from sea level. The cable car's height provides an unparalleled understanding of the scale and beauty of the island group, with views extending to the Cambodian coastline on clear days. Comfortable gondolas provide exceptional visibility and stable platforms for capturing breathtaking photographs.

4:30 PM - 5:00 PM: Upon reaching the main island, a brief visit to Sunset Town awaits, a burgeoning Mediterranean-inspired coastal development ideally positioned to witness Vietnam's most spectacular sunsets. This hillside complex, nestled on Phu Quoc's southwest coast, is architecturally designed to maximize the stunning sunset vistas that have made this area renowned amongst photographers.

From this elevated vantage point, overlooking the western horizon, the sun's descent into the Gulf of Thailand is a breathtaking spectacle of vibrant colors transforming the seascape.
