 You’ll be picked up at your hotel and transfer by A/C car to An Thoi port for speedboat embarkation.

 

☑️ 13:30: Leave the harbor and board the speedboat for a calm crystal water spot

 

☑️ 14:00: First stop for briefing & safety guidelines: Stony Coral Colony

At Stony coral colony, the family enjoys beach activities at the emerald calm water areas, get yourself familiar with the open water environment. Kids and parents have time for an educational section about snorkel gear usage, safety guidelines and snorkeling instruction by our guide. You’ll be here around 30 minutes.

 

☑️ 14:30: Move to first snorkeling spot: Coral Mountain (shallow water)

Phu Quoc Coral Mountain is a shallow water and drifting snorkeling spot. Enjoy easy snorkeling at leisure as the area is pretty shallow water of 0.5 – 3m deep with great clarity of the water. Within a closeup reach, both kids and parents also have chances to discover an area of 200 – 300 sq meters of Pavona Coral or Cactus Coral.

(No limitation on time snorkeling here but its advised to less than 1 hour).

Phu Quoc Coral Mountain is basically a large clump of Cactus Coral (Pavona Coral) that has been growing in Crystal Reef with a lot of massive and table corals surrounded. They’ve been vastly developed in a shape of the undersea mountains, that’s why we named it Phu Quoc Undersea Coral Mountain.

Other species can be found here including: Christmas tree worms, massive coral, butterfly fish, etc.

 

☑️ 15:30: Head for the second snorkeling spot: Coral Steep or North-east Coral Reef (Medium-depth snorkeling)

Named the coral city, the Northeast coral reef is one of the most beautiful coral reefs in Phu Quoc, Vietnam. Located 16 Km from the south of Phu Quoc Island, the Northeastern Reef is one of the most difficult to access coral reefs in Phu Quoc in a year due to its geographical position, which is frequently influenced by currents and winds. Wave season should be closely watched for new water conditions to determine a safe time frame to reach the reef. With a depth of 1 – 8m along with a high species diversity from hard corals and soft corals, as observed by OnBird, there are about 18 different species of coral, creating a diverse coral population that looks like a miniature coral city.

Coral Steep is a small coral field with many different coral species, we find there many cauliflower with violet colors.

Re-charge energy taken for snorkeling at a Beach Bar on the island with fruit served. Bring home some memorable photos of sunset time with family on the secluded, pristine island.
