Cruise the An Thoi islets for clear-water snorkeling, beach time on May Rut Island and a beachfront BBQ as the sun dips below the horizon. This full-day speedboat trip blends reef exploration with a relaxed sunset dinner and round-trip transfers from Phu Quoc.
More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
The speedboat shoves off from An Thoi Harbor with sunlight sliding across a band of islands, and the sea immediately begins to pull you forward—bright, warm and impatient. Glassy lagoons open between limestone knuckles; the captain threads the boat through a scatter of islets until the engine purrs and the water calms. You step into shallow, clear water at Buom (Xuong) Island to meet healthy patches of reef and small, curious reef fish that dart like punctuation marks beneath your mask.

History
Local fishermen and boat-builders in the An Thoi area have long depended on island reefs for shelter and catch; evening communal grills echo that working-coast heritage.
Conservation
Stay clear of touching coral and use reef-safe sunscreen; operators often encourage leaving no trace and minimizing single-use plastics.

Bring a snug mask
Boat-supplied masks and snorkels are available but a well-fitting personal mask reduces fogging and improves time in the water.
Protect against the sun
Use reef-safe sunscreen and a sun shirt—late afternoons still have strong UV and the reflected light off water intensifies exposure.
Secure belongings
Stash phones and passports in a waterproof dry bag and keep valuables in the coach during island stops to avoid loss or salt damage.
Time your swim
Snorkel during slack-water between tidal shifts for clearer visibility and gentler currents; follow crew briefings on safe zones.
