Experience an unforgettable Phu Quoc island hopping adventure in 2026! Enjoy vibrant snorkeling, delicious fresh seafood, lively parties, and stunning sunset views.
I recently found myself back on a Phu Quoc snorkeling adventure, and wow, has it grown in popularity! Last time, a small van picked us up, but this time, a massive tour bus arrived, packed with fellow adventurers. It just goes to show how much more people are discovering the magic of Phu Quoc.

Once we boarded the boat, I noticed every table was full. Unlike my first trip, where I was a bit nervous and held back on the food, this time I dove right in as soon as we set sail!



I was hungry, and knowing roughly how the Phu Quoc island hopping tour unfolds, I prioritized the delicious spread in front of me!

I grabbed some beer and devoured the dishes, mango, and watermelon. It felt like dining in a floating restaurant! What was funny was that our table was the only one completely focused on eating. Everyone else was up on the second deck, taking photos, or lounging on bean bags, but we were just in food heaven. Even when we passed the famous long cable car, we kept our eyes on the prize – more food!
After happily stuffing ourselves, we arrived at the first snorkeling spot. The local crew gave us detailed instructions on wearing our snorkeling gear, followed by an energetic opening performance.



I’d seen it before, but it was still just as exciting!


After the detailed equipment explanations, our Phu Quoc snorkeling adventure truly began.

Life vests and fins on, it was time to jump in! The Phu Quoc island hopping tour provides all the snorkeling gear. Last time, I brought my own, but this time I was too lazy to pack it, and the provided gear worked perfectly.

I skipped this activity this time, as I'd tried it before. You're free to choose how you spend your time – whether floating on a tube, staying on the boat, or diving into the water.
Knowing the second spot was the real highlight, I just did a quick dip at the first point and returned to the boat.

And then, more eating! Haha.
Next up: the second spot.




Here, I went all out, swimming everywhere! I knew there would be plenty of time to rest and refuel afterward, so I didn't hold back.

And this is why – crab ramen! After swimming, ramen is always a godsend. After enjoying a spicy bowl of ramen with fresh crab, the Phu Quoc island hopping crew brought out freshly caught local seafood they'd prepared while we were swimming. (I still can't remember the name of these delicious little guys!)

They boil them up, and they are such a treat! Dipping them in the special sauce makes them even more incredible, plus it's fun to pick out the meat.




Then, it was time for the cocktail party! The local staff kicked things off with an energetic dance, and as the atmosphere heated up, everyone joined in for a crazy, unforgettable celebration.
They even give out spa coupons to the most enthusiastic participants – a perfect way to soothe tired muscles!
I captured some video, but since it's hard to blur faces, I'll stick to photos instead.




After all the excitement, it was time to relax and wait for the sunset. Most people tried their hand at fishing; many actually caught something! I, however, don't seem to have the knack for it, so I gave up pretty quickly.

Instead, I headed up to the second deck for a quick nap.

After expending all that energy and filling my stomach, there's nothing quite like drifting off to sleep with the ocean breeze on your face. It truly felt like heaven!
And then, I woke up, and voilà – a stunning sunset right before my eyes!

Snorkeling, eating, relaxing, and watching the sunset in Phu Quoc. It's similar to the energetic island hopping tours in Nha Trang, but Phu Quoc definitely has its own unique charm.
Water activities can be exhausting, but that nap genuinely recharged me. I thought I'd need to rest at the hotel, but I felt completely refreshed and ready for more!
