Visitors guide
Visitors can expect a scattered group of small tropical islands south of Phu Quoc accessible only by boat or via the Hon Thom cable car. The setting features clear shallow waters, coral reefs, sandy beaches and forested islets. Most visits are organized as island-hopping boat tours stopping at 3-4 islands for swimming, snorkeling and beach time, with Hon Thom Island offering developed facilities, beaches, restaurants and water park. Smaller islands like Hon May Rut, Hon Mong Tay and Hon Gam Ghi remain more natural and less developed.
