The wake of the speed boat parts turquoise water as limestone outcrops and low coral islets come into view—this is the An Thoi archipelago, a cluster of 17 reefs and islands off southern Phu Quoc. Travelers step from an A/C van in Duong Dong, pass the busy pier and, within an hour, feel the sea cool and clear enough to invite a mask and fins.

The wake of the speed boat parts turquoise water as limestone outcrops and low coral islets come into view—this is the An Thoi archipelago, a cluster of 17 reefs and islands off southern Phu Quoc. Travelers step from an A/C van in Duong Dong, pass the busy pier and, within an hour, feel the sea cool and clear enough to invite a mask and fins.
An Thoi's islands sit on the southern shelf of Phu Quoc, where recent reef growth overlays older volcanic and sedimentary rock. Local families have fished and run small guest beaches here for generations; May Rut is still privately owned and keeps a quieter rhythm than the busier northern beaches. The reefs host hard and soft corals, small reef fish and occasional rays, while Hon Mong Tay (Fingernail Island) offers the archetypal deserted-island silhouette that made the area a local boating landmark.
Practically, the trip is built for accessibility: private speed-boat transfers, life vests for non-swimmers, and guided shallow-water snorkeling at several shallow reefs. Expect 4–6 hours away from your hotel with a BBQ lunch and bottled water included. Sea conditions determine exact stops; operators often adjust the route to avoid crowds or rough surf.
Bring reef-safe sunscreen, a light rash guard, and water shoes for rocky landings. Time the tour for morning windows when winds are low and visibility is best. This outing suits families and first-time snorkelers who want vivid shallow reefs and small-island exploration without technical diving.
