[2025 Phan Thiet Attraction] Travel Guide for Phu Quy Island (Updated Apr)

#vietnam #island Phú Quý island is a small fishing island in the south central coast of Vietnam, about 120 km from Phan Thiet city. It is an archipelago of 12 islands, large and small, and has a rich history and culture. Phú Quý island is also known for its natural beauty, with clear blue water, white sand beaches, and green hills. Some of the attractions on the island are Trieu Duong Bay, Ganh Hang, Cao Cat Mountain, Phu Quy Lighthouse, wind power area, Linh Son Pagoda, flagpole of Phu Quy Island, and Van An Thanh (where a big whale skeleton is preserved). Phú Quý island is not very developed for tourism, so it still retains its rural charm and authenticity. There are no large hotels on the island, only small homestays and guest houses. The people are very friendly and hospitable. The seafood is fresh and cheap, and you can enjoy BBQ on the beach with your friends. However, foreign visitors need to apply for a permit to visit Phú Quý island, as it is under military control. You can get help from travel agencies in Phan Thiet or Mui Ne to get the permit. To get to Phú Quý island, you can take a Superdong speedboat from Phan Thiet, which takes about 2 hours and 30 minutes. There are only two trips per day, and the schedule depends on the weather and the tide. You can also take other types of ships, such as Phu Quy Express or cargo ships, but they take longer. Phú Quý island is a hidden gem that offers a peaceful and relaxing getaway from the hustle and bustle of the city. If you are looking for a place to enjoy nature, culture, and adventure, Phú Quý island might be a good choice for you.

The journey to Phu Quy Island itself is an adventure, with travelers taking a ferry from the mainland. Once you arrive, you'll be greeted by the pristine beaches with soft, white sand and crystal-clear waters. These shores are perfect for relaxation and water activities like snorkeling and diving. But what truly sets Phu Quy apart is the iconic Lonely Tree. This lone tree stands tall and solitary on a hill, creating a breathtaking vista that draws photographers and nature enthusiasts alike. The stark contrast of the tree against the surrounding blue ocean and sky is a sight to behold, especially during sunrise or sunset. The island, with its slow pace of life and friendly locals, offers a serene escape from the hustle and bustle of the mainland. You can explore fishing villages, savor fresh seafood, and witness the island's unique way of life.

This is the solo travel of my life. A memorable trip at the lovely island #phuquyisland. I fell in love with this island and everything in it. When you come to Viet Nam, you should explore this beautiful island if you are a lover of the sea, if you love nature and love to eat seafood. Everything here is quite wild and rustic. Food is also very cheap. If you travel solo and want to have nice picture, you can bring tripod or book local guide to accompany with you.

Phu Quy island is sincerely so serene. Some people go to Phu Quy in order to heal themselves, while others come here in order to find motivations for their start over. Food and beverages here are very cheap. The road to Phu Quy is a little bit difficult (takes some hours), but it's just really worth it. From the sand, the sea, the colorful pebbles, anything are just giving me a healing time. I would love to earn more money to come here again to learn diving better. Had extremely great moment when I and my friend saw those lively corals. 🥺 Stay tuned for next time! Now I’m aiming to go to TXT concerts on October. Please wish me luck to successfully booking some vip tickets to see the babies better. 🥺🍀💕#summervacation #beachlife #naturalwonders #gooutside #beaches

However, in mid-2010, the cooperative shipping company Fortune put into operation a mid-speed ferry, shortening travel time to Phú Quý island to approximately 2.5-3h. The mid-speed ferry was stopped in 2015 and after a year was replaced with a ferry that takes 4 hours running alongside the 6 hour ferry. In 2018 the mid-speed ferry was reinstated and now travel to the island takes 2.5 hours in favourable conditions.

I started my journey at 3 AM from Ho Chi Minh City, hopping on a bus to Phan Thiet. After a 3-hour ride, I finally arrived at 6 AM, ready for the next leg of the adventure. From there, I took a boat for a 2.5-hour trip to Phu Quy Island. The boat ride was smooth, with the ocean breeze kicking in, and the sunlight getting stronger as we got closer. Once I stepped onto the island, the first thing I noticed was how windy it was, but the view of the beautiful ocean made it all worth it. The sun was harsh, but the natural beauty of Phu Quy Island was incredible. I stayed at Ong Giao Homestay, which was cozy and welcoming—definitely felt like home away from home. The peaceful vibe of the island, combined with the comfortable stay, made for an unforgettable experience. It was the perfect escape from the city. #PhuQuyIsland #OngGiaoHomestay #VietnamTravel #IslandGetaway #SeaBreeze #OceanViews

You can see completely blue sky and ocean from here, with some spectacular views of fish farm, lighthouse or simply small old villages of lovely local people. Getting there is a little bit hard. From Hochiminh City or Nha Trang, you catch a limousine or bus for 3 - 4 hours (from HCMC) or night bus (from Nha Trang), then buy a highspeed boat ticket from Phan Thiet harbor to the island. Getting the boat tickets is hard, you have to pre-book on Superdong website few days before depature, sometime - months, in peak season. But what you get will be worth.

"The coral reefs, the temperature, the tour guides, they were all #AMAZING! The tour guides for our snorkel tour were amazing at showing us perfect coral reefs and very sensation to all swimming experience levels. The temperature was perfect and the captain of the speed boat was incredible at trying not to rock the boat too much on quite choppy waters (I myself get quite bad motion sickness and didn’t feel nauseous once!). The perfect tour to see live sea creatures and authentic Phu Quoc island. A must do!
