On this soft-adventure snorkeling excursion, you’ll go searching for peaceful atmosphere of the untouched old Phu Quoc parts. The journey is designed on a touristy-avoiding route to explore the Coral Jungle Reef which is the healthiest coral reef with the highest coverage of coral (around 82.5%) across Phu Quoc Island. Not only fully feast on the very best of Phu Quoc’s untouched parts with a wide range of beach activities, notably: snorkeling, swimming, free diving (within your ability), you’ll enjoy a sunset meal on the beach in a romantic atmosphere… More specifically, each particular activity may come about on an individual detached island during the tour under our professional guide & support. Be as relaxed or active as you like, because this is your private time.
