  • What to explore?

What to do during an “epidemic time” when big groups of people represent a risk of disease spread?

There are several reasons why people choose Phu Quoc as their long-stay travel destination, not the least of which would be because it was the first tourist hotpot to re-open to foreigners. One significant aspect is that Phu Quoc is well-known for its diverse and calm environment, ranging from the beaches to the stunning coral reefs.

As sophisticated and astute visitors, travelers today prefer personalized tours that educate them to appreciate the beauty of nature over social check-ins. This would be the finest option for a new sustainable travel way for next year.

A word of advice: you might want to encounter locals and small-tour groups are the solutions to this conundrum. You will travel by speedboat with OnBird to secret jewels that only OnBird’s underwater guides can show you on touristy-avoiding snorkeling journeys to discover:
