North or south, by road

Both are private: the car and the guide are for your group only. Your price is quoted for your group size, date and hotel area; see the pricing page.

The south day starts at Phu Quoc Prison, the wartime prison camp that is now a museum. It is the most serious stop of any tour on this site. Some of the reconstructions are graphic, and parents should think about whether younger children should see them. Tell us the children's ages when you ask, and the guide plans the visit with that in mind.

From there the road crosses to Ho Quoc Pagoda on the east coast, where shoulders and knees must be covered. After lunch the day ends at Sao Beach, with white sand and time to swim. Entrance fees are included. The day runs all year.

Both days start with a hotel pick-up, included in Duong Dong, Ong Lang and Bai Truong (Long Beach). Hotels in the south around An Thoi and in the far north carry a supplement, quoted with the price. The north day runs from about 08:00 to about 15:00, which leaves the late afternoon free. The south day runs from about 08:30 to about 16:00. Exact times are in your confirmation.

On both days bring swimwear, a towel, a hat and sunscreen. On the north day expect to get wet from the knees down in the kayak and at Starfish beach, so sandals that stay on in water are more use than trainers. On the south day carry a layer that covers shoulders and knees for the pagoda, and something to change into after Sao Beach if you plan a long swim.
