Top 10 Things to Do in Phu Quoc, Vietnam's Island Getaway

Traveloka Team
3 min read

Phu Quoc sits 45 kilometres west of Ha Tien, with over half the island designated as UNESCO-recognised national park despite its growing reputation as one of Vietnam's most developed beach destinations. Powder-white beaches sit alongside water parks, cable cars, and jungle excursions, giving the island a wider range of things to do than most first-time visitors expect. These 10 attractions and activities cover the island's best, best tackled during the dry season running November through April.

Booking flights directly into Phu Quoc's own airport is the simplest way to start the trip.

1. VinWonders Phu Quoc

This adventure-packed theme park offers attractions for all ages, from water slides and roller coasters to themed zones with regular shows and performances throughout the day. Tickets start from around USD 44, and the park is best visited during the dry season when outdoor rides and water attractions run without interruption. A full day here easily fills an entire itinerary slot on its own given the park's scale.

2. Island Expeditions to Mong Tay, Gam Ghi, and May Rut

Boat trips out to these smaller surrounding islands combine snorkelling, fishing, and straightforward beach relaxation into one outing, priced from roughly USD 28. The dry season window of November through April offers the clearest water and calmest sailing conditions for these day trips.

3. Kiss of the Sea Performance

This water music stage blends multimedia art with live water effects into a genuinely striking evening show, rated 9.3 out of 10 by visitors. Tickets run around USD 26, and catching the performance around sunset adds an extra layer to the visual spectacle already built into the show itself.

4. Hon Thom Island Cable Car and Aquatopia

The cable car connecting to Hon Thom Island holds the record for the world's longest three-wire cable car at 7,899.9 metres, offering sweeping views over the water during the crossing. Aquatopia, the water park waiting on the other side, adds slides and wave pools to the day, with combined admission priced around USD 59 and an 8.4 out of 10 guest rating.

A hotel across different price points helps travellers compare Phu Quoc's resort scene before booking.

5. North Phu Quoc Excursion

This half-day trip combines kayaking, a stop at a local bee farm, national park trekking, and a visit to a traditional fishing village, priced from around USD 37 and rated 8.8 out of 10. Starfish Beach and views over Ganh Dau Beach both feature on the route, giving visitors a fuller sense of the island's quieter northern half.

6. Paramotoring

Paramotor flights offer aerial views over the island's beaches, forests, and the long stretch of Long Beach, with sunset flight options available for visitors wanting the most dramatic lighting. The dry season from November through April offers the most stable flying conditions for this activity.

7. Versailles Mud Bath Spa

Set on a stretch of paradise beach, this spa offers therapeutic mud baths alongside jacuzzis, massages, and saunas, with a beach club and food service attached for visitors wanting to turn the stop into a half-day of relaxation. It's a strong pairing with a beach day given the on-site food and drink options.

An island-hopping or cable car ticket, bookable through Traveloka's activities listings, is a convenient way to lock in Phu Quoc's headline attractions ahead of arrival.

8. Ice Jungle

Billed as Vietnam's most modern light art amusement park, Ice Jungle uses 3D mapping and hologram screens to create an interactive experience unlike anything else on the island. Tickets run around USD 6, and the park operates from 5 pm to 10 pm, making it a natural evening stop after a day spent outdoors.

9. Sun World Hon Thom Nature Park

This park combines the Hon Thom cable car crossing with water activities and the Kiss of the Sea performance under one ticket, priced from around USD 25 and rated 9.2 out of 10. Traditional puppetry shows round out the entertainment lineup, giving visitors a cultural element alongside the park's more active offerings.

10. Sunset and Night Squid Fishing

This evening cruise combines sunset viewing with traditional squid fishing techniques, followed by a seafood dinner built around the catch. Priced from around USD 11 and rated 8.2 out of 10, it's one of the more distinctly local experiences on this list, giving visitors a genuine fishing tradition rather than just a scenic boat ride.

Getting Around Phu Quoc

Renting a Scooter

Scooter rentals are widely available and remain the most flexible way to move between the island's beaches, restaurants, and attractions independently, particularly useful for reaching quieter spots away from the main resort strip.

Using Grab or a Taxi

Ride-hailing apps operate reliably across the island's more developed southern half, offering a straightforward option for visitors who'd rather not navigate scooter traffic themselves.

Planning Your Phu Quoc Itinerary

Best Time to Visit

The dry season, running November through April, offers the most reliable weather across nearly every activity on this list, from paramotoring to island-hopping boat trips.

Balancing Beach Time and Attractions

Spacing out theme park visits like VinWonders and Sun World Hon Thom across separate days from beach-focused stops like the northern island excursions keeps the trip from feeling rushed.

A car rental makes it easy to reach Phu Quoc's quieter northern beaches independently, and an airport transfer gets travellers from Phu Quoc International Airport to their resort smoothly after landing.
