Phu Quoc Island boasts idyllic beaches, romantic sunsets,

evergreen forests, and a serene atmosphere, making it an ideal
holiday destination for travellers looking to escape bustling city
life. Located 45 kilometres west of Ha Tien in the far south of
Vietnam, the northern part of the island is relatively untouched
due to its status as a UNESCO-listed national park but there are
plenty of luxurious resorts, funky bars, and quaint cafes along the
southern coastline. Aside from beachside activities, visitors can
also explore traditional villages, expansive nature parks and
Buddhist pagodas, all of which are easily accessible via
motorcycle, taxi, bus or even daytrips by reputable companies.
Catering to just about any budget level and preference, Phu
Quoc’s dining scene ranges from local markets selling fresh
seafood and Vietnamese street food to expat-owned bistros
offering authentic western and European fare.

10 Best Things to Do in Phu Quoc Island

The best attractions in Phu Quoc prove that there’s plenty of

things to do during your tropical vacation besides relaxing on its
pristine beaches. Situated 45 kilometres west of Ha Tien, Phu
Quoc Island is home to unique Cao Dai and Buddhist temples,
vibrant markets, traditional fishing villages, and pepper
plantations – perfect for travellers looking to experience the local
lifestyle. Despite the growing number of tourist accommodation
and modern facilities along its expansive coastline, more than
half of this tropical island is still a UNESCO-listed national park,
where you can enjoy a full-day of spotting rare wildlife species,
hiking, camping, photography and bird-watching. Read on for our
list of the most popular things to do in Phu Quoc Island.

1.Phu Quoc National Park

Phu Quoc National Park comprises more than half of Phu Quoc
Island’s northern region, where adventurous travellers can enjoy
a range of outdoor pursuits throughout their tropical vacation.
Declared a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve in 2010, this massive
natural attraction spans over 314, 000 square metres of unique
flora and fauna, evergreen forest, and dense mountain ranges.
While the majority of Phu Quoc National Park is strictly protected
by the Vietnamese government for research purposes, visitors
can make their way to the Khu Rung Nguyen Sinh Forest Reserve
via Ganh Dau Village as it’s accessible for camping, hiking, bird-
watching, and photography. Nature lovers can also spot rare
wildlife such as long-tailed macaques, silver langurs, slow lories,
otters, and hornbills.

If you’re looking to test out your endurance, Mount Heaven in Phu

Quoc National Park is accessible within a challenging four-hour
trek through the evergreen forest followed by a 10 metre-tall
bamboo ladder. The highest peak in the national park is Mount
Chua, which stands at 600 metres above sea level, but hiking
trails and viewing platforms for the mountain are currently under
construction. Located 26 kilometres north of Duong Dong, the
best way to get to Phu Quoc National Park is by booking a day
tour or renting a motorcycle. The roads leading towards Ganh
Dau Village can rather bumpy, so only opt for the latter if you’re
comfortable navigating through dirt roads.

2.Dinh Cau Rock (Cau Temple)

Dinh Cau Rock, also known as Cau Temple, is an odd-shaped

natural formation in Phu Quoc Island, which local fishermen pray
to before embarking on fishing excursions. Located just next to
the Duong Dong Fishing Harbour, it features a brightly-coloured
lighthouse and Buddhist shrine, making it a popular photography
spot among travellers. Dinh Cậu Rock was constructed in 1937 to
commemorate Thiên Hậu (the goddess of the sea), whom locals believe
provides protection for fishermen heading out to the open sea. There are
29 winding stone steps to reach Cau Temple’s rooftop terrace, where you
will be greeted with spectacular sunset views of Dinh Cậu Beach,
traditional fishing boats, Dương Đông Town, and neighbouring islets.
The temple is relatively quiet throughout the year, apart from
annual festivities such as Tet (New Year) and Dinh Cau Festival
(15–16 October), when locals offer prayers and burn joss sticks at
Thien Hau’s altar. There are plenty of food and beverage stands
at the base of Dinh Cau Rock but, if you’re craving fresh seafood
after your visit, Dinh Cau Night Market is a just five-minute walk
away. Entrance to Dinh Cau Rock is free of charge and visitors are
advised to dress appropriately out of respect for the locals who
frequent this temple.

3.Suoi Tranh Waterfall

Suoi Tranh Waterfall is a four-metre-tall waterfall within the Ham

Ninh Mountains that’s surrounded by lush greenery, natural
caves, and rock pools. A 10-minute drive from Duong Dong, this
natural attraction is ideal for those looking to escape the bustling
town centre. Nature-lovers can enjoy recreational activities such
as picnicking, camping and bird-watching, with small walking
paths available for those who prefer a leisurely hike through the
jungle. Various flora and fauna such as shrimps, birds, orchids,
ginseng and mushrooms can be found here.
If you’re feeling adventurous, you can hike further up from the
main waterfall site, following the 15-kilometre stream to reach
Hang Doi (Grotto of Bats), which measures 200 metres in height
and houses unique stalactites. Suoi Tranh Waterfall is also located
near Hamn Ninh Fishing Village, where you can experience the
daily life of the local fishermen and enjoy authentic regional
specialities. Like most waterfalls, the best time to visit Suoi Tranh
is during the rainy season (May until September). Entrance is
priced at VND 5,000 while parking is available at an additional
VND 10,000. Due to its close proximity to the main town, Suoi
Tranh Waterfall is usually packed with locals during weekends and
national holidays, so we highly recommend heading there early to
get the best picnicking spot.

4.Duong Dong Market

Duong Dong Market is Phu Quoc Island’s busiest and largest

outdoor market, where travellers can experience the local
lifestyle and purchase a wide range of fresh produce during their
holiday. Set along Tran Phu Street, Duong Dong Market features a
wet zone that’s set close to Duong Dong Port, where you can see
throngs of fishing boats drop off freshly-caught seafood such as
eel, squid, mackerel, barracuda, and shellfish, to be sold by local
vendors. Phu Quoc Island is also renowned for its fish sauce,
mushrooms, peppers and cashew nuts. We highly recommend
making your way to the dry section to pick up a few as souvenirs
for loved ones back home. Thanks to its growing popularity
among tourists, there’s also a few stalls selling handicrafts and t-
shirts, though most carry the same stock.
Like most Asian markets, Duong Dong Market also houses plenty
of food stalls serving fruit juices and Vietnamese cuisine at
relatively low prices. Must-tries include banh tet (Vietnamese
Cylindrical Sticky Rice Cake), echinus porridge, and raw herring
salad. The best time to visit is in the early morning, where you
can see the locals bargaining hard for household items, fresh and
dried seafood, meats, sweets and fruit from mainland Vietnam.

5. Sung Hung Pagoda

Sung Hung Pagoda is a combination of two shrines that were built

in the early 10th century, making it the oldest of its kind on Phu
Quoc Island. Set along Tran Hung Dao Street in Duong Dong
Town, the pagoda was formerly Sung Nghia and Hung Nhan
Pagodas which were built in the early 20th century for locals to
pray for the departed before it was merged and renamed as Sung
Hung Pagoda.

Sung Hung Pagoda has undergone two major restorations but

most of its original architecture remains intact throughout the
years. Exuding a peaceful ambience for devotees and tourists
alike, the front courtyard features plenty of Bodhi trees, a statue
of the Goddess of Mercy standing in the middle of a lotus pond,
and a sanctum house housing a bronze bell, numerous sculptures
and red lacquered boards with engraved writings. The main
prayer hall stands at three storeys in height, housing three
Buddha statues (Amitabha, Mahasthamaprapta Bodhisattva and
Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva) and intricate paintings of Buddhist
mythical creatures and legends. Open daily, entrance to Sung
Hung Pagoda is free of charge. Visitors are advised to dress
conservatively out of respect for the monks and locals who
frequent Sung Hung Pagoda.

absolutely the best family friendly entertainment centre on Phu
Quoc Island. Accessible within a 20-minute drive from Ong Lang
Beach, Vinpearl Land also offers spectacular displays of lights,
music, and water acrobatics at the amphitheatre, and its indoor
games centre features 120 arcades such as horse racing, motor-

7.Cao Dai Temple Phu Quoc

Cao Dai Temple is an interesting religious site on Phu Quoc Island,

boasting a bright technicolour exterior and relics of prominent
religions from around the world. Founded in 1919, Cao Daism is a
monotheistic religion which combines Hinduism, Judaism,
Zoroastrianism, Buddhism, Taoism, Confucianism, Christianity,
and Islam. Basically, the central tenant of the religion is that we
may follow different religions but we all share one true God.
Currently, there are over two million people practising Cao Daism
in Vietnam. It is certainly one of the most interesting and
intriguing religions found in Southeast Asia, and has a certain
mystique for most people.
Considered as the birthplace of Cao Daism, Phu Quoc Island has
two outlets which are found within Duong Dong Town. Located
along Nguyen Trai Street, the newest and most popular shrine
was erected in 2008 and features similar architectural styles with
Ho Chi Minh City’s Cao Dai Temple. Most Booked HOTELSRating

eye of god, which is featured prominently in every temple in
Vietnam. Cao Dai Temple also easily stands out from other
temples on Phu Quoc Island as it houses not only Buddhist
swastikas and statues, but also Christian crosses, and Islamic
crescent moons.

The temple also commemorates popular figures such as

Vietnamese poet Trang Trinh, Chinese president Sun Yat-Sen,
French poet Victor Hugo, and Jesus Christ as some of its many
patron saints. Cao Dai Temple on Phu Quoc Island is open to the
public, with worshipping ceremonies held between 06:00 and
12:00 every day. As with any temples in Southeast Asia, visitors
are advised to dress appropriately out of respect for the devotees
who frequent this temple.

8.Ham Ninh Fishing Village

Ham Ninh Fishing Village is an ideal locale for foreign visitors

looking to experience the daily life of local fishermen as well as
authentic regional dishes at affordable prices. Widely known as
one of the oldest villages on Phu Quoc Island, its residents’ main
sources of income include diving for pearls and sea cucumbers,
fishing and, in recent years, selling handmade souvenirs and
seafood delicacies to tourists.
Not far from the village is a pier that stretches far out to the sea
called Bai Vong Port, where cargo boats carrying a wide range of
fresh produce, seafood, and household items from mainland
Vietnam stop by in the early morning. Travellers can also enjoy
relaxing sunset views of colourful fishing boats, Ham Ninh
Mountain range and coastline, and the Hai Tac Archipelago during
their visit here.

Waters along the Ham Ninh coastline are relatively shallow,

resulting in expansive beaches during the low tides. It can get
rather polluted with rubbish from the main village, though, so we
highly recommend walking further up north to enjoy a better
beach setting. Accessible within a 30-minute drive from Duong
Dong Town, Ham Ninh Fishing Village is renowned for its unique
seafood dishes. Make your way to the Ham Ninh Market to enjoy
sea cucumber soup, tram mushroom, and boiled flower crab as
well as medicinal drinks made with seaweed, ginseng, seahorse,
and rice wine.

9.Su Muon Pagoda Phu Quoc Island Attraction

Su Muon Pagoda, sitting atop a hill about four kilometres east of
Duong Dong Town, is the oldest Buddhist shrine on Phu Quoc
Island. Also known as Chua Su Moun Hung and Long Tu Pagoda,
local monk Nguyen Kim Muon founded this temple in 1932,
attracting mostly locals due to its rather hidden locale. Housing
statues of Buddha, painted rock formations depicting various
animals, plenty of greenery, and a 300-year old Kenia tree, Su
Muon Pagoda is a good place to see devotees and monks paying
their respects to Buddha. Visitors can also get their fortunes told
or simply enjoy the peaceful ambience during their visit. Most

10.Phu Quoc Prison Museum

Phu Quoc Prison serves as a bleak reminder of Vietnam’s

turbulent past, where thousands people were imprisoned and
tortured during the Vietnam War. Also called Coconut Tree Prison,
this war museum now houses authentic torture instruments,
photographs of former detainees and exhibits of brutal
punishments. Built in 1949 by French colonists, it is believed to
have detained over 40,000 Vietnamese soldiers and political
figures who have opposed both French and American forces. After
the end of the Indochina War, most of the prisoners were
released to their families but developed physical and mental
disabilities due to the barbaric tortures of Phu Quoc Prison.

In 1995, the prison was declared a national historical site and

opened to the public by Vietnamese government. Phu Quoc
Prison also has a retail outlet selling handicrafts, local snacks,
and books about the Vietnamese War. There are numerous life-
sized wax mannequins depicting graphic scenes of torture within
the two-storey exhibition centre, including crucifixion, food
deprivation, and electrocution. Another prominent site in Phu
Quoc Prison is the row of tiger cages. Prisoners were kept in total
darkness and subjected to extreme heat and cold for a prolonged
period of time, resulting in pneumonia and blindness. The prison
is one of Phu Quoc Island’s most iconic landmarks, attracting
mostly former prisoners and foreign visitors looking to learn more
about Vietnam’s history. Accessible within a 45-minute drive from
Duong Dong, entrance fee to Phu Quoc Prison is priced at VND
3,000 per person with guided tours available in English, French
and Vietnamese.
