Marooned for a day
Kien Giang Province’s Phu Quoc Island is endowed with beautiful white sand beaches and azure waters.
The island has long been a famous tourist destination and boasts many activities for holidaymakers including fishing, sailing and scuba diving. For adventure-lovers, the Saigon-Phu Quoc Resort offers a host of one-day packages that will bring tourists closer to nature. The “One day on the wild island” tour offers two options. Tourists can choose to travel northward or alternatively discover the southern area of Phu Quoc, with both routes promising a day of fun. On the northbound trip, a boat takes passengers from the resort to nearby Doi Moi Islet. Tourists can explore the islet’s lush wilderness, pitch a tent on the beach, swim, and bask in the sun’s warmth. Visitors can also catch fish, snails and mussels or observe the stunning coral reef. At night, a campfire on the beach is the perfect way to finish the day. Tourists can cook and eat their own catch in the tranquil surroundings of the islet. For those who choose to go south, visitors will discover the many unnamed islets around Phu Quoc by boat before returning to the island’s virtually untouched Bai Sao Beach. Located 25 km from Phu Quoc’s Duong Dong Town, the beach is isolated from the rest of the island and difficult to access by road. It is therefore an unspoiled paradise for those seeking rest and relaxation. Considered one of the most beautiful beaches in the world by many tourists, Bai Sao is renowned for its smooth white sand and calm waters. As an alternative, another tour takes guests from Bai Sao Beach to An Thoi Harbor to try fishing with the locals. The fishing boats anchor at Ngang Islet while tourists eat their fresh catch for dinner onboard and watch the sunset. The resort also offers a tour for couples which features romantic activities including horse riding and dinner in a hut on the beach. For more information on tours organized by the Saigon-Phu Quoc Resort, call (077) 384 6999 or visit www.sgphuquocresort.com.vn. To reach Phu Quoc, boat trips are available from the towns of Rach Gia or Ha Tien in Kien Giang Province, and flights are available from Tan Son Nhat International Airport in Ho Chi Minh City.
