Phú Quốc, known as the Pearl Island, is a famous gem not only in Kiên Giang but across the entire nation. This destination is hailed as a captivating resort paradise, attracting both local and international tourists. There are numerous reasons why travelers flock to Phú Quốc, and one of them is the untouched beauty of its small islands. These surrounding islets, largely untouched by human intervention, retain their poetic and unique charm. Therefore, when planning your Phú Quốc travel, make sure to visit these stunning islands to experience and explore exciting marine activities.
Hòn Móng Tay
The beauty of this island is often likened to a “hidden gem” by travel enthusiasts, nestled in the southern part of Phú Quốc, offering one surprise after another. Hòn Móng Tay is one of the larger islands in the An Thới archipelago, located in Hòn Thơm commune, featuring a crescent-shaped beach and completely uninhabited. It takes about an hour by speedboat to reach the island, but the pristine blue waters, white sands, and golden sunshine of Hòn Móng Tay will never disappoint.
Outdoor activities such as immersing yourself in the cool waters or camping to explore the island's surrounding ecosystem are perfect for your trip. Even simpler, just lying on the sandy shore, admiring the scenery, and breathing in the fresh air is enough to make you feel how beautiful life truly is.
Hòn Một
Hòn Một is located in Bãi Thơm commune, in the Northeast of Phú Quốc Island. You can follow the route from Dương Đông to Hàm Ninh, then take the red dirt road along the coast or follow Nguyễn Trung Trực Street, Dương Đông, Bãi Thơm. Unlike Hòn Móng Tay or Hòn Xưởng, you only need to walk a short distance across a small bridge to reach this charming island.
Although Hòn Một is not as majestic or spectacular as other places, its crystal-clear waters and rich vegetation are what make it stand out to travelers booking budget tours. The sparsely populated beach is ideal for those who prefer privacy. You can also camp overnight on the island, bringing your own food and drinks.
Hòn Xưởng
Located in the southern part of Phú Quốc Island, Hòn Xưởng is the most remote island. However, the long journey will not discourage you, as the destination is a serene and pristine island. Due to its deep waters, the island is less developed for tourism, primarily offering activities like diving and coral viewing. Hòn Xưởng features a grand, majestic cave where visitors can enjoy panoramic views of the sea. It’s also an ideal spot for beachside barbecues and camping.
Hòn Mây Rút Ngoài
Hòn Mây Rút Ngoài is situated about 10km southwest of An Thới town. Visitors will need to spend approximately an hour on a boat to reach this island.
Hòn Mây Rút Ngoài boasts crystal-clear waters due to the presence of rocks and minimal sand. Standing on the shore, you can see your reflection on the water's surface. This makes the island a quiet haven, perfect for travelers seeking peace and tranquility to enjoy rare moments of relaxation amidst the endless blue sea and sky.
Hòn Mây Rút Trong
Hòn Mây Rút Trong attracts international tourists with its soft white sandy beaches stretching endlessly, clear blue waters, and gentle slopes. Activities here are more diverse, including daytime deep-sea diving to admire coral reefs and nighttime squid fishing with local fishermen. The area is rich in biodiversity, offering glimpses of rare marine life such as sea cucumbers, sea turtles, and giant clams.
