Mong Tay Island
Immerse yourself in the vast sea, fully savoring the beauty bestowed by Mother Nature
This petite island near Phu Quoc still preserves its inherent beauty, generously gifted by Mother Nature. Visiting Móng Tay, you might find yourself pleasantly surprised at the nearly untouched beaches. With its naturally open and somewhat mysterious allure, Móng Tay promises to captivate the hearts of all wandering souls.
Móng Tay Island always welcomes travelers with expansive blue skies and a crystal-clear sea resembling precious gems. To truly appreciate the beauty of this place, lay down a mat, gaze at the sky, and savor the scent of the sea. The gentle rustling of the wind accompanies the refreshing backdrop of lush coconut groves.
Or, barefoot strolls allow you to feel the fine white sand flowing between your toes, marvel at the glistening sand particles dancing under the island's sun. These experiences undoubtedly stir the souls of avid wanderers and adventure-seeking travelers.
For those with 'wanderlust feet' and a passion for photography, Móng Tay Island is truly a haven where artists can unleash a plethora of exquisite photos. The picturesque and romantic scenery here serves as an ideal backdrop for countless stunning shots. Regardless of the angle, the scenery in the background is enough to make every picture perfect.
Explore the Coral Reefs Underwater
Another irresistible specialty of Móng Tay Island is its vibrant coral reef, a breathtaking sight just a 5-minute boat ride away. Diving into the coral reefs of Móng Tay is an essential activity on the 'What to do in Phu Quoc' checklist!
The coral in this area grows densely in colossal clusters, displaying a riot of colors. The enchanting beauty of the coral becomes even more prominent when the sunlight from above illuminates it. Thanks to the crystal-clear seawater, just dipping your face into the water allows you to delight in observing the small, graceful sea creatures swimming around the splendid and colorful coral formations.
The coral reefs at Móng Tay Island are situated at a shallow depth, close to the shore. Hence, visitors can comfortably experience this exciting activity without requiring the skills of professional divers. The coral ecosystem here is considered one of the most diverse in Vietnam, with over 17 types of hard and soft corals, along with various species of sea anemones. Undoubtedly, you will be awe-struck by the enchanting underwater scenery.
Savor the Taste of the Open Sea
Dubbed as 'Robinson Island,' there are no eateries catering to tourists here. When visiting this island, you can purchase seafood from Phu Quoc Island to prepare and enjoy, or bring fishing gear to catch seafood around the island. If not available, you can inquire with some rentals on Phu Quoc Island. No need for advanced fishing skills; simply drop your bait into any water area around the island, and you might catch some fresh delicacies to grill on the beach. What's more enjoyable in Phu Quoc than catching your own fish, squid, or picking clams and relishing the fruits of your labor in a beach paradise?
As the island remains pristine, there aren't many dining establishments. If you want a satisfying meal after a day of fun, consider joining a tour for assistance with this aspect!
Gầm Ghì Island
Where is Gầm Ghì Island?
Gầm Ghì Island, also known as Dăm Ngang Island, lies furthest south in the An Thoi archipelago of the Gulf of Thailand, Kiên Giang province, approximately 35km from the central area of Phu Quoc Island.
Similar to Móng Tay, Gầm Ghì is an untouched beach, its beauty emanating from vibrant golden rays, coconut palms casting graceful shadows over pristine white sands, and peculiar rock formations sculpted by gentle waves. Below the surface, a unique oceanic world unfolds, with colorful coral reefs hugging the shore. The commonality among these small islands near Phu Quoc is the crystal-clear water allowing a transparent view of the seabed. Therefore, travelers can easily marvel at the beauty of nature hidden beneath these waters.
What to Do at Gầm Ghì Island?
Immerse yourself in various experiences to fully explore this pristine island, such as submerging in the refreshing waters, diving to admire coral reefs, sunbathing on the beach, strolling along the white sands... all allowing travelers to 'detox' their souls, forgetting the noise and bustle of distant mainland. Additionally, you can go fishing, collect shells, clams, or catch floating seaweed with friends... transforming into true fishermen preparing a meal to satisfy hungry stomachs.
Furthermore, capture some picturesque moments on the evenly scattered rock formations surrounding the island. Occasionally, there's a gentle spray of white sea foam from the waves crashing against the rocks.
