A game designed for those who love gentle experiences.
At a relatively affordable price, for just 150,000 VND, I've got myself a cute yellow Kayak, paddling out into the middle of the blue sea under the sparkling golden afternoon sun, savoring the taste of the sea, swaying on the small boat despite the gentle waves. Letting the vast white sandy beach, the golden sunlight behind, fade away. Nothing beats this peaceful feeling. But remember, be careful as the waves might take you far, and then you'll have to struggle to paddle back to shore.

3. Paragliding
If you want to soar like seabirds, enjoy the sea breeze, and feel the freedom with a touch of adventure, then paragliding is an excellent choice you won't regret. No need for any formal training in paragliding, nor do you need to master complex techniques. Just spend about 5 minutes listening to instructions on how to run when getting ready to be pulled, how to hold the harness securely in the air, and then just 'go with the flow'. You'll be towed by a boat straight out to the sea, then gradually lifted by the wind, soaring high into the sky.
With such altitude, what do you think? I had countless thoughts before I began to ascend into the high sky. I feared heights, feared sinking underwater, with all those fears, yet here I am over a vast sea, the wind blowing gently, and every beautiful scene of the beach captured within my sight, nothing missed, making me forget all my fears.
Who's up for flying with me?
Only managed to snap a few pictures from high up with a bewildered, ecstatic expression. Especially at sunset, I saw all the most beautiful aspects of Phu Quoc, truly stunning! Like a paradise. Landing back on the water, I couldn't help but feel regretful, wishing I could fly for a few more minutes to fully enjoy the beauty that I've never seen before in my life.

4. Scuba Diving
Nature has bestowed Phu Quoc with captivating beauty, from majestic coral reefs lining the coast to a diverse ecosystem. Hence, when pondering what to do in Phu Quoc, you cannot overlook the experience of Scuba Diving. It's a sport for the physically fit as the water pressure is high when diving deeper than 3 meters.
Immerse yourself in the cool blue waters, swim alongside small fish, marvel at the coral reefs deep beneath the sea floor, feeling like a true diver. Due to overexploitation, the coral reefs in Phu Quoc are gradually losing their natural beauty, so when experiencing scuba diving, please be mindful and refrain from damaging the coral reefs unconsciously.
The vast ocean, the unfathomable sea, if you're not able to dive with a scuba tank or fear the risks, you can opt for Snorkeling, equipped with a buoyancy aid to explore the shallower waters while admiring the coral reefs.
5. Jetski
Jetski is the epitome of thrill on the water, also serving as a means of exploration and sightseeing along the coastline. It doesn't demand much, just a couple of minutes to get acquainted with the operation of Jetski, firm grip on the handlebars, and smooth maneuvering, and you'll be racing like seasoned pros.
While Jetski rentals are quite common in Vietnam, the azure waters of Phu Quoc compel me to rent one at an incredibly affordable price, just to satisfy my craving. After careful instructions, all you need to do is throttle up, glide over the water, regardless of the wind and waves crashing against you. For speed enthusiasts like myself, Jetskiing is a perfect choice, safe yet thrilling, craving to conquer the waves and vast ocean. Clearly, if you're at the beach, why not try Jetskiing?

Jetskiing is full of excitement.
What's there to do in Phu Quoc? Island hopping isn't just for swimming; it's for fun too, right? Soar through the sky, overlooking the vast ocean, or glide swiftly across the sea at high speeds, sometimes simply drifting on the water's surface... will undoubtedly bring you emotions that only playing can evoke. If you're already in Phu Quoc, don't forget to experience these unmissable games. Because you're still healthy, you're still young, why not experience the exciting things on this beautiful pearl island.
