Spend a private day paddling mangroves, touring a pepper plantation, and hunting for starfish on Phu Quoc’s northern shore. Expect a 6–7 hour mix of easy kayaking, farm tasting and a speedboat trip to shallow, starfish-strewn sand.

You step out of the air-conditioned vehicle onto a narrow dirt track and the inland heat gives way to a cooling sea breeze; mangroves crouch at the river’s edge and the island feels like it’s exhaling. This full-day private tour threads together Cua Can’s braided mangrove channels, a working pepper plantation and orchard, and a speedboat run to the northern Starfish Beach where hundreds of brittle stars stud the shallow sand.

Low tide exposes more starfish and shallower water for photos; ask your guide for local tide times before the beach stop.

Rocky shoals and coral nearshore make closed-toe water shoes useful for beaching the boat and walking shallow reefs.

Protect reefs and marine life by choosing mineral-based sunscreens and reapplying after paddling or swimming.
