If yes, than here it is: Phu Quoc Island, a tropical retreat, where roads are hardly paved, beaches are pristine and deserted and reefs are untouched and full of Marine life.
Soon it might become a second Phuket but as of today it is still an insider tip to Vietnam travelers.
We took the speed boat from Rach Gia which just takes you 2 hrs for the 60kms and a half hour drive to our lovely resort. We left our belongings there and took a scooter around the island.
Our first stop brought us to Ham Nimh fishing village where we got the tip to try the fresh BBQ crabs – they were delicious! Never thought we could manage a whole kilogram of them :-p)
Not only the food also the scenery is a highlight for itself. Here you can feel a different life beat than on the mainland … that`s really refreshing.
Beside exploring waterfalls and lonely beaches Phu Quoc is also a famous for the diving grounds at its south islands.
With Vietnam Explorer we spent a great day out there having our best dives here in Vietnam.
I can`t imagine a better place for our last days here in Vietnam where we watched the sunset and sip on our cocktails rewinding our adventures we had in this beautiful country.
Goodbye Vietnaaaaaaaam
