Phu Quoc day tours, timed to the minute
Four day tours that leave every day: the south islands by speedboat, the north by road, a night squid fishing boat and a south heritage half day. Each one lists its pickup windows by zone, its group cap and what happens if the weather stops it.

Four tours, one timetable
| Tour | Length | First pickup | Back by | Join-in cap | Needs calm sea |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| South islands speedboat day | Full day | 06:45 (Bai Dai) | about 19:00 (Bai Dai) | 12 | Yes |
| North island day by road | Full day | 07:15 (An Thoi) | about 18:20 (An Thoi) | 12 | No |
| Night squid fishing | Evening | 15:10 – 15:50 | by about 22:15 | 15 | Yes |
| South heritage half day | Half day | 06:20 or 12:00 (Bai Dai) | 13:40 or 19:00 | 12 | No |
Times in the table are the earliest and latest zones. Central hotels in Duong Dong and Bai Truong start later and finish earlier. Every tour page has the full window for each zone and an hour-by-hour plan, and the exact minute for your hotel is sent the evening before.
Our own prices are quoted per date and party size, so you will not find a "from" price on these pages. What you will find is the market range for comparable trips, taken from published sources and dated, and a list of what moves the price. The pricing page sets all of it out.

The four pickup zones
- Duong Dong, the town on the west coast: hotels around the night market, Dinh Cau and the river mouth.
- Bai Truong (Long Beach): the strip of more than 20 km running south from Dinh Cau.
- Bai Dai: the north-west resort area towards Ganh Dau, about 40 to 50 minutes from Duong Dong by car.
- An Thoi: the southern port town, with Sunset Town and Bai Khem, about 40 to 50 minutes from Duong Dong.
Hotels outside these zones, such as Ong Lang, Cua Can or Ham Ninh, are collected by arrangement or meet the van at a hotel inside a zone. The pickup page lists the rules.

The weather rule, in short
Boat days depend on the sea; road days do not. For the speedboat and the squid boat, three parties can stop a departure: the authorities, who have halted boats around Phu Quoc ahead of storms and when big waves were forecast; the captain at the pier; and us, the evening before, if the forecast is clearly bad. Whichever of the three cancels, you choose another date, a road tour instead, or a full refund of what you paid us. The road tours run in rain and are cancelled only for a storm warning or a flooded road.
Island boat trips from An Thoi have run again since 23 July 2026 after a short suspension, with tighter checks on registration, life jackets and loading. Our boat routine is written on each boat tour page.

Which tour in which month
● ideal · ◐ runs, more weather risk · ○ often disrupted. Boat trips are smooth November to April; from May afternoons get choppier, and An Thoi island-hopping is often unreliable in September and October. Road tours run all year; Rach Vem's starfish are a dry-season sight.
If your stay falls between May and October, put the boat day near the start so there is room to move it. The cancellations page has the month-by-month detail.

Who we are not the right company for
- Anyone looking for more than a day out. We run four scheduled day tours and nothing else; the about page lists what we leave to others.
- Travellers who want to be collected from the airport or the ferry port on the way to a tour.
- Groups of more than 15 on one join-in departure; ask for a private quote instead.
- People who need a fixed price on the website before they write. We quote per date.
Common questions
Questions travellers ask most
Do your tours really run every day?
Each tour is scheduled daily. A join-in departure needs at least two guests to run; if a date has fewer, we offer a private quote, another date, or a full refund. Boat days also depend on the sea.
What is the difference between join-in and private?
Join-in means you buy seats on a shared departure with a capped group. Private means the vehicle or boat is for your party only, on the same route, with more freedom over pickup time and pace.
Why is there no price on the tour pages?
Because it depends on the date, your pickup zone and the size of your party. Each page shows typical market ranges from published sources and what moves the price, and the quote comes in reply to the form.
Can I book for tomorrow?
Sometimes. Send the form as early as possible; same-day and next-day requests depend on when we see them and whether seats are left.
