With clear blue beaches, endless white sand and rows of coconut trees whispering in the wind, Phu Quoc is a dreamland that anyone who is tired will think and find. There are many interesting activities here that bring unforgettable experiences to visitors such as scuba diving, watching coral, crossing the forest, bathing or playing with pets.
DIVING THE SHORT COAST
Phu Quoc waters are characterized by clear blue water along with many unique coral reefs. The typical terrain is many islands, so in some islands, the sea is quite shallow. The average depth is only 10 – 12m. Therefore, Phu Quoc tourism offers a type of diving service to see coral, attracting many domestic and foreign tourists.
An Thoi archipelago
The most popular diving area is the population of small southern islands belonging to the An Thoi archipelago because the water here is shallow, quiet and clear. There are many diving spots to watch coral reefs such as Mong Tay Islet, Clear May Islet, Cloudy Islet, Gam Choi Islet, Goat Islet, Kim Quy Islet, Ong Doi Islet, Dry Islet, Coconut Island, Thom Islet, Roi Islet, Dau island, Trang island, Anh Dong island, Anh Tay island. And each island has different diving zones.
Ganh Dau area
This is an area that few tourists know about, so the amount of living coral is still quite a lot with full color. When diving, visitors will discover many species of sea creatures living here such as parrot fish, crabs, oysters and a large number of coral that are still preserved intact. The scenery here is also very wild and beautiful, often with large seabirds.
DISCOVER SUGARS IN NATURAL FORESTRY
In addition to the clear blue beaches, long stretches of fine white sand and the system of beautiful pristine islands, Phu Quoc also attracts visitors by the streams hidden in the green forest canopies in the primitive forests such as:
Suoi Tranh
This is the longest and most famous stream in Phu Quoc. Located 9km south of Duong Dong town, Tranh stream has a total length of about 10km, is composed of small streams on Ham Ninh mountain, crept under forest canopies, soft mossy rock rapids, Surrounded by green trees, with all kinds of flowers fragrant with strange grass. The path to the stream, the scenery appears every time, along with the mischievous monkeys that look funny. The spring water is cool, many sections of the stream flow gently and smoothly, but there are also sections when it flows over the rocky rapids, becoming strongly white foam, making visitors unable to stop in amazement.

If Tranh stream is a gentle love song, Da Ban stream will be a vibrant concert. Stream water poured in, crept through each big rock, creating roaring roars. At the end of the downstream, visitors can take a cool bath, enjoy the clear water and organize camping and picnics.
Fairy Stream
Upstream to the east of Phu Quoc Island is Tien stream. The path to the stream is very difficult to go, when you have to cross the narrow and long narrow roads deep in the forest, but when you arrive, with the picturesque scenery, the fatigue seems to vanish.
Crouched in a dense forest, Tien stream has a total length of about 1km. Stream water flows along the cliffs, forming a small waterfall and a rather wide lake at the end of the stream. Like Da Ban stream, Tranh stream, Tien stream bed also has large and quite flat rocks that can become “table stones” for visitors to rest and admire. The scene here is very charming, the two sides are full of forest sim, a small path winding between the immense mountains.
