• Explore Hon Xuong islet or Fingernail (Overcrowded island), May Rut Trong islet, May Rut Ngoai islet, Gam Ghi islet by wooden boats or speedboats. In addition, I often go to some islet near Pineapple Island on a speedboat, because it’s few people so we feel like Robinson. About the experience and the way visiting islets you can refer to other articles. Or on the schedule and the details of a snorkeling tour to avoid crowds can be consulted at OnBird.

Fishing is also interesting activity in this area. I like most the deep-sea fishing, feeling when fishing out the big grouper, barracuda… is so excited, you could join day-time or night-time fishing, read more about Tips for Deep-sea fishing in Phu Quoc. Note that: many tour operators offering you fishing on snorkeling tours, those kinds of fishing are entertainment fishing, they can only catch small and tiny fish with tiny hocks, that is irresponsible to catch small & tiny fish whereas to catch big fish you need to join a deep-sea fishing tour with GPS equipment leads you to reefs of big fish.

You will have fresh fish for lunch. Most of the island’s tours include diving coral reefs and go small fishing. But you should find out before where will you diving coral to choose the most beautiful point of time.

Camping on the island. For some of you like it. On the May Rut Trong islet, the beach is quite wide and long so you can rent tents at a price of 400,000 VND (at the bar on the beach) to sleep overnight, camping fire, sing with friends in the immense sea. There’s a great feeling, and be aware if you can choose a bright moon day.

Note: you should choose activities as above on the sunny and calm sea day in the dried season may be a lot better.
