Phu Quoc Small-Group Speedboat Snorkel & Island Hopping — An Thoi Reefs (Max 12)
Small-group speedboat trips from An Thoi focus on hands-on snorkeling at protected reefs and quiet beaches. Expect two snorkel stops, a beach break, and a compact tasting of Vietnamese regional dishes during a 5–6 hour outing.
The Experience
Before You Go
Bring a fitted mask or anti-fog spray
Provided gear is high quality, but a personal mask that fits your face reduces leaks and fogging for better snorkeling.
Use reef-safe sunscreen
Oxybenzone-free sunscreen protects coral—apply before boarding and let it absorb 15 minutes before entering the water.
Secure motion-sickness remedies
If you’re prone to seasickness, take medication or wear bands before departure—the speedboat can punch through waves on windy days.
Plan pickup times with buffer
Transfers from resorts may add 15–30 minutes; confirm pickup windows to avoid missing the 8:00 or 13:00 departures.
