More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
A soft swell rocks the canoe as you pull away from An Thoi harbour and the mainland of Phú Quốc slips into a ribbon of green and rock. Salt and sun press against your cheeks, and the guide points to a string of islands—Hòn Kim Quy, Hòn Gầm Ghì, Hòn Mây Rút—each one a different edge of coral, sand and scrub. By paddle and by snorkel you cross channels where water seems to glow, then climb the cable car over Hòn Thơm to watch the archipelago shrink into a scatter of light.
