Why snorkeling is a must-try activity in Phu Quoc

Overview of Phu Quoc’s marine beauty

Phu Quoc, also known as Vietnam’s “Pearl Island,” boasts some of the most beautiful coral reefs and crystal-clear waters in Southeast Asia. The island’s southern archipelago, including spots like Kim Quy, Gam Ghi, and Buom island, is home to colorful coral gardens, tropical fish, anemones, and a diverse array of marine life.

Calm seas and good visibility make Phu Quoc a top destination for those who want to experience the ocean’s wonders without venturing too far from shore.

Suitable for all ages & akill levels

One of the biggest advantages of snorkeling is that it’s incredibly beginner-friendly. You don’t need to know how to swim like a pro or have any special certifications.

• Children from 5 years old,
• Seniors,
• Even non-swimmers (with life jackets) can safely enjoy snorkeling with the guidance of professional tour staff.

Whether you’re looking for a casual swim near the reef or an adventure with your whole family, snorkeling in Phu Quoc is designed to be safe, accessible, and enjoyable for everyone.

Affordable & accessible adventure

Compared to other water activities like scuba diving or parasailing, snorkeling tours are very affordable.

• Prices start from $30 to $50 per person for group tours,
• With options for private tours or combo packages that still remain budget-friendly.

The tours typically include all necessary equipment, professional guides, and sometimes meals and transportation, making snorkeling a cost-effective way to enjoy Phu Quoc’s marine ecosystem.

Moreover, most snorkeling sites are easily reachable by cano or speedboat within 30-45 minutes, so you can fit this activity even into a half-day itinerary.
