Itinerary

Local market

Phu Quoc’s pearls are renowned for their exceptional quality, as the sea surrounding the island provides the perfect breeding ground for these precious gems. During your visit to a Pearl Farm, you will gain fascinating insights into the oyster cultivation process, transforming a simple oyster into stunning jewelry. Afterward, visit a local market, where you can experience the vibrant atmosphere, discover fresh local produce and seafood, and get a glimpse into the island’s everyday life.

Coconut Prison

Next, we will uncover a darker chapter of the island’s history with a visit to Coconut Prison, also known as Phu Quoc Prison. Originally established during the French colonization of Vietnam in the 1940s and later expanded in the 1960s by U.S-backed Southern Vietnamese troops, this notorious prison held many Vietnamese soldiers

Sao Beach

Our next stop will be the unmissable Sao beach, famous for its soft white sand and turquoise waters - perfect for relaxing and swimming. We will enjoy lunch and visit a Fish Sauce Factory, where the renowned "Nuoc mam Phu Quoc" fish sauce is still made in traditional wooden barrels, a staple of Vietnamese cuisine.

Ho Quoc Pagoda

Finally, we will visit the largest Buddhist temple on Phu Quoc, Ho Quoc Pagoda, beautifully nestled between the mountains and the sea.
