Drive further southward on a dirt road to visit Phu Quoc prison historical site, which was built in 1949-1950 by the French colonists to jail those considered dangerous to the government.

Lunch is served on board with grilled seafood before heading back to the pier. Drive along Sao beach, one of the most beautiful beaches on the island with white sand and crystal water.

Alternative tour November through April - After breakfast, your guide and driver will pick you up at your hotel for driving to Duong Dong pier to embark the cruise. You will cruise along the coastline until you arrive at Turtle Island. There are not a lot of larger fish species here but the hard corals that are present are spectacular. The underwater terrain is “canyon like” with some sections deeper than others. You will see a lot of tree branch coral (acropora), whip coral, brain coral, as well as several varieties of soft sponges.
After rejuvenating in the ocean, enjoy a delicious lunch on board before lifting anchor and cruising to Finger Island for an incredible fishing trip. Relax and take in the serene atmosphere as you cast a line out into the ocean. Once you’ve had your fill, hop aboard your boat once again and cruise slowly back to town just in time to catch the spectacular sunset. Return to your hotel and enjoy the rest of day free at leisure.
Enjoy a free day on the island to arrange local activities as you like. Go snorkeling again, spend time relaxing on the beach or swimming. Try your hand at fishing, go hiking in the hills and forest or visit the local markets. The day is yours to spend as you like.

The trip was terrific with great planning on your part. Most of the adventures were not mainstream and somewhat off the beaten path which made it especially enjoyable!! We felt taken care of and you all were readily available to respond to questions and issues. I would highly recommend your company and friends have already expressed interest based on our pictures and excitement.
