Phu Quoc’s interior forests are part of Phu Quoc National Park, an effort to protect the island’s freshwater catchments and native forest that sustain local communities and fisheries.
Conservation
Stay on marked trails, carry out all trash, and avoid feeding wildlife; the park’s ecosystems are sensitive to trampling and litter.

Bring at least 2 liters of water
Tropical humidity and a 5 km uphill section mean you’ll sweat; bottled water is included but carry a refillable bladder for the trail.
Expect muddy, rooty trail conditions
Good tread on shoes matters—trail can be slippery after rain; trekking poles help on descents.
Wear insect repellent and quick-dry clothing
Mosquitoes and leeches can be present, especially during the wet season; long sleeves reduce bites.
Time your hike mid-morning
A start around 9:00–10:00 gives comfortable light for the climb and enough time to swim and return before late-afternoon showers.
Sturdy trail shoes (closed-toe)
Good grip and ankle support are critical on muddy, root-covered rainforest trails.
Light rain jacket / packable shell
Afternoon tropical showers are common; a compact shell keeps you dry and warm after swimming.
summer
2–3L hydration system or bottles
Carry enough water for the hike; hydration is essential in humid tropical conditions.
Insect repellent and quick-dry clothing
Protects against mosquitoes and leeches and dries fast after a swim.
