The morning light on An Thoi pier slants across teak boats and the low hum of a waiting speedboat — the sea seems to pull at your ankles, daring you to cross to clearer water. By 9:00am the engine kicks and the southern islands of Phu Quoc slip into view: Mong Tay’s white sand, Bom and Gham Ghi’s shallow coral gardens, and May Rut’s coconut fringes where lunch waits.

The morning light on An Thoi pier slants across teak boats and the low hum of a waiting speedboat — the sea seems to pull at your ankles, daring you to cross to clearer water. By 9:00am the engine kicks and the southern islands of Phu Quoc slip into view: Mong Tay’s white sand, Bom and Gham Ghi’s shallow coral gardens, and May Rut’s coconut fringes where lunch waits.
These isles sit on limestone shelves shaped by tides and tropical storms; fishing and small-scale farming have long defined local life here. The An Thoi archipelago was once a waypoint for regional trade, and today the islands balance small-scale tourism with traditional livelihoods.
Expect shallow reefs (1–3 m) teeming with colorful hard corals and reef fish, calm sandy bays ideal for swimming, and open-water stretches where currents can push the boat a little faster. The tour typically includes hotel pickup (~8:30am), three one-hour stops for swimming and snorkeling, a two-hour lunch and rest on May Rut, and return to An Thoi by mid-afternoon.
Practical tips: bring reef-safe sunscreen, a snug mask or use the provided snorkel gear, and a light dry bag for phone/cash. Motion-sickness meds are useful for those prone to seasickness; wear quick-dry clothing and water shoes for rocky landings. Respect coral — avoid standing on or touching it — and follow the guide’s safety brief before entering the water.
This private speedboat format gives flexibility for slower swimmers and photographers, and the BBQ lunch offers a chance to sample freshly grilled seafood while the sea winds calm you for the trip back.
