SOME FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS:

1. Why is this OnBird Discovery snorkeling tour priced higher compared to standard snorkeling tours offered by other companies?

  • By limiting the number of adult passengers on each group tour to just 9 individuals, we aim to enhance the overall experience of discovering prominent coral locations. This approach not only ensures personalized attention, privacy, and ample time in the water but also contributes significantly to coral conservation efforts. Our commitment to exceptional customer service is further accentuated by the increased flexibility and enhanced cruising capabilities afforded by this restriction.
  • The OnBird tour excludes hidden fees associated with shopping sites such as sea walking (pseudo diving) and visits to pearl farms. Many tour companies receive substantial commissions ranging from 20-30% for each additional fee charged at these shopping locations. At OnBird, we abstain from this practice.
  • Our small snorkel groups offer unparalleled observation opportunities, promising a personalized experience. Opting for OnBird Phu Quoc for your snorkeling reef excursion ensures that our dedicated snorkel guides accompany you throughout, sharing their passion for reefs and unveiling their marvels to guarantee an enriching experience.
  • OnBird Phu Quoc boasts the highest guide-to-passenger ratio, affording you a unique opportunity to inquire about your observations and discover the often-overlooked extraordinary creatures that escape the untrained eye.
  • OnBird has developed in-house water conditions forecasting model encompassing wave level, wave direction, water current, and underwater visibility. By leveraging data on coral reefs in Phu Quoc, we possess the capability to explore the essential coral reef areas in the region. This pioneering initiative has led us to introduce the concept of “Scientific Snorkeling,” offering enthusiasts of snorkeling and free diving an authentic experience. Our approach considers external factors such as water conditions and lighting effects to identify optimal timeframes for an exceptional snorkeling experience and to facilitate visits to the premier locations in South Phu Quoc Island.

2. WHY DOES THE TOUR NOT INCLUDE LUNCH?

  • The cost is not inclusive of lunch but snacks (fruit, juice)
  • We don’t arrange on-small-islets-cooking food to reduce wastewater drained into coral reefs around
  • The tour departure time is unfixed but contingent upon the daily water conditions tracked by OnBird thereby lunch arrangement is not suitable and we focus on coral discovery on this tour.
  • We can’t ensure the food quality as well as the kitchen hygiene on the small islets, although they provide food for many guests every day. That thing can also help to preserve the water quality for marine life and corals nearby by reducing waste water from cooking activities which discharge grease and soap into the sea
