Nov-Apr
Best Season

Feel the rush of cutting through turquoise waves on a powerful jet ski along Phu Quoc's stunning coastline. Our fleet of Yamaha WaveRunners seats one or two riders and reaches speeds of up to 65 km/h. No license or experience is required — a brief 5-minute safety orientation is all you need before hitting the water.

Rides depart from Long Beach and Bai Dai Beach, giving you open ocean views with Hon Thom island in the distance. Early morning sessions (before 9 AM) offer the calmest waters and softest light for photos. Afternoon rides are popular for the dramatic sunset backdrop.

Life jackets are mandatory and provided in all sizes. A safety boat follows your route at all times. Minimum age for drivers is 16; passengers must be at least 6 years old and ride with an adult.

Sea Kayaking — Explore Mangroves & Hidden Coves

Difficulty
Year-round
Best Season

Paddle through Phu Quoc's emerald mangrove forests and along secluded coastlines in stable sit-on-top kayaks. Single and tandem kayaks are available, making this an ideal activity for couples, families, and solo adventurers alike. The calm, sheltered waters of Cua Can River and Rach Vem fishing village provide a peaceful contrast to the open sea.

Guided mangrove tours (2-3 hours) include stops at hidden beaches accessible only by kayak, where you can swim and snorkel in crystal-clear coves. Self-guided hourly rentals are perfect if you prefer to explore at your own pace along the beachfront.

All kayaks come with paddles, dry bags, and life jackets. Waterproof phone pouches are available for rent ($2). Children aged 5+ can join in a tandem kayak with a parent. We recommend early morning or late afternoon paddles to avoid midday heat.

Stand-Up Paddleboarding (SUP) — Balance & Scenery

Nov-Apr
Best Season

Stand-up paddleboarding combines a full-body workout with the serenity of gliding over Phu Quoc's glass-like waters. We use inflatable touring boards (10'6" and 11') that offer excellent stability for beginners while still being responsive enough for experienced paddlers.

Sunrise SUP sessions at Ong Lang Beach are particularly magical — you can watch the sky turn pink and gold while paddling over schools of tropical fish visible through the transparent water. Evening sessions along Long Beach are equally popular, ending with a sunset paddle back to shore.

A 15-minute on-shore lesson covers proper stance, paddle technique, and turning before you head out. Life jackets and ankle leashes are included. Suitable for ages 10+ with reasonable swimming ability. SUP yoga sessions are available on request for intermediate paddlers.

Scuba Diving — Discover the Underwater World

Nov-May
Best Season

Phu Quoc's southern waters around the An Thoi Archipelago host some of Vietnam's best dive sites with 15-25 meters of visibility and thriving coral reefs. Encounter clownfish, barracuda, moray eels, nudibranchs, and occasionally sea turtles and reef sharks at deeper sites.

Our Discover Scuba program is designed for first-time divers: 30 minutes of theory, a confined-water skills session, then a boat ride to a shallow reef (6-12m) for your first underwater adventure. Certified divers can join fun-dive trips to advanced sites reaching 18m depth with stronger currents and larger marine life.

All dives are led by PADI-certified instructors with a maximum 1:2 ratio for beginners and 1:4 for certified divers. Equipment (BCD, regulator, wetsuit, mask, fins, tank) is included. GoPro footage of your dive is provided free of charge. Important: do not fly within 18 hours after diving.

Snorkeling — Coral Reefs Without the Dive

$15-35
Price
2-4 hours
Duration
Easy
Difficulty
Nov-May
Best Season

Snorkeling is the most accessible way to experience Phu Quoc's vibrant underwater world. No certification needed — just a mask, snorkel, fins, and a sense of wonder. Shallow reefs starting at just 1-3 meters depth mean even non-swimmers can enjoy the view from above the coral with a life vest.

Half-day snorkeling trips visit 2-3 islands in the An Thoi chain, with stops at coral gardens teeming with parrotfish, angelfish, and anemones. Full-day tours add a beach BBQ lunch on a private island and additional snorkeling at Hon Gam Ghi's clear lagoon.

We provide prescription snorkel masks (-2 to -8 diopter) for guests who wear glasses. Rash guards are available in all sizes for sun protection. Reef-safe sunscreen is mandatory — we sell eco-friendly options on site for $5 if you don't have one.

Parasailing — Fly Over the Ocean

$35-50
Price
10-15 min
Duration
Easy
Difficulty
Nov-Apr
Best Season

Soar 80-150 meters above the ocean for breathtaking panoramic views of Phu Quoc's coastline, islands, and jungle-covered mountains. Parasailing is surprisingly gentle — takeoff and landing happen directly from the boat platform, so you don't even get your feet wet (unless you want to!).

Single and tandem flights are available. Tandem parasailing is perfect for couples or parent-child pairs who want to share the experience. The boat crew adjusts altitude based on your comfort level — first-timers can start lower and go higher on request.

Operations run from Long Beach and Bai Dai using modern winch boats with color-coded parachutes. Minimum weight 30 kg, maximum 120 kg per harness (240 kg tandem). Age minimum is 12. The activity includes a safety harness, life jacket, and a waterproof GoPro mount for your own camera.

Yes, several activities are child-friendly. Kayaking is available for kids aged 5+ with a parent. Snorkeling is suitable from age 8 with a life vest. SUP can be done from age 10. Jet ski passengers must be 6+, and parasailing requires a minimum age of 12 and weight of 30 kg. All children receive appropriately sized life jackets.

The An Thoi Archipelago (southern islands) offers the best snorkeling with coral gardens, colorful fish, and 15-25m visibility. Hon Thom and Hon May Rut are top spots. On the main island, the northwest coast near Ganh Dau has decent snorkeling close to shore.
Can I book multiple water sports as a package?
Absolutely. Our combo packages save you 15-20% compared to individual bookings. Popular combos include Jet Ski + Parasailing ($55), Snorkeling + Kayak full day ($40), and the Ultimate Water Sports Pack with four activities for $99/person.

How far in advance should I book water sports?
We recommend booking 1-2 days ahead during peak season (December-March) and at least 24 hours for diving. During low season you can often book same-day, but advance booking guarantees your preferred time slot and group size.
