Plan your trip in advance, and contact the hotel you are staying in for a complimentary land transport service. You will need to email the hotel to inform them your arrival date and timing and most hotels provide free shuttle. Phu Quoc is a beautiful island and the weather can be extreme. It can be extremely wet during Monsoon season, and the best time to travel will be from March till October. The island is best known for their fine white sands and crystal clear sea water - Paradise for water activities such as 🤿 Snorkelling and Diving🤿. We went during the dry season in April, and thus we only needed wet suits and we proceed. Temperature was at 28 degree Celsius in the day and around 22 at night. It was more than comfortable!

Southern Part of Phu Quoc - 🚡Cable Car🚡 in Phu Quoc is a must try, bringing you across a few isolated island and it provides a Majestic view of crystal clear water. It takes around 18 minutes for a one way trip and the ticket will cost one around SGD 60 dollars that includes your entrance to Aquatopia Water Theme Park and a buffet Lunch. It's very worth trying for the ride and water park. The park is absolutely clean but it can get crowded during local holidays. There are more than 5 different kind of slides and a lazy river, very suitable for couples, friends, or even family. It's located on the southern part of Phu Quoc and you need to plan your itinerary well, otherwise you will waste some time traveling from North to South.

Northern part of Phu Quoc presents a more defined and lively area with stretches of shophouses filled with F&B, massage centers, salons, cafes, convenience stores, and home stays. Phu Quoc Corona Casino is located just beside Radisson Blu hotel and in order to enter the casino you will need to create a membership with them using your passport and all games are charged in Vietnamese Dong. There is then a Safari just 15 min away from and it’s is one of a kind. All cars are electric bringing you roaming in an electric bus entering the living spaces of the wild animals like Asian Black Bears, Asian Tigers, Lions, and even giant sized crocodile!
