Private Speedboat Snorkel in Phu Quoc's South Hidden Reefs
Skip the crowded day boats and head to South Phu Quoc by private speedboat. In a focused 4–5 hour trip you’ll explore two hidden reefs with an underwater guide, safety briefing, and reef-first practices.
The Experience
Before You Go
Book morning slots
Morning departures usually offer calmer seas and better underwater visibility for snorkeling.
Bring reef-safe sunscreen
Chemical-free sunscreen protects coral and reduces your need to rinse in the water.
Wear a rashguard
A thin long-sleeve blocks sun and light spray on the ride without overheating you.
Prepare for motion
If you get seasick, take medication 30–60 minutes before departure — rides can be bouncy depending on weather.

Conservation Note
Operators stress reef-friendly practices: no fish feeding, careful site selection to avoid anchoring on coral, and use of reef-safe products to reduce damage to fragile reefs.
An Thoi and southern Phu Quoc have long been maritime zones for local fishers and small-scale pearl trade, shaping island livelihoods and boat-building traditions.
