Southern Phu Quoc Island Day Trip

The tour starts off early of the day by visiting Coi Nguon Museum, where you will have a general idea of old and modern life on Phu Quoc. It is located on a small hill in Duong Dong Town, was established in 2009 by Huynh Phuoc Hue who has spent over 15 years collecting thousands of antiques and artifacts. There are 2,645 antiques made from stone, pottery, bronze and fossil wood dated from the 15th century to the early 20th century and 540 artifacts consisting of furniture, artworks and fishing tool and household appliances. Next, let’s visit the pearl cultivation farm and do some interesting shopping. Pearl Farms were built up in quite a number of facilities, which is out of surprise since Phu Quoc has been being labelled “The Pearl Island”. The pearl farming industry here has been spurred on with the help of pearl farming techniques from various places around the world, thereupon, fined off pearls are considered the favorite merchandises for export, also the wanted wares to consume domestically.  Thereafter, drive southward on dirty road to visit Phu Quoc Prison Historical (Coconut Prison) site, which was built in 1949-1950 by the French colonists to imprison those considered to be a threat to the government. Coconut Prison, another must-watch site in An Thoi, is historically the concentration camp since the French domination in 50s to the “Hell on earth” often-referred prison during the American war in 70s. One might be scared of recalling a long deadly period, by its nature, but letting the painful past gone, this is where you can truly witness the history of Vietnam. Later, continue on to Sao Beach, one of the most beautiful beaches on the island with white sand and crystal-clear waters, to relax and have lunch with local cuisines. (For your information: Sao Beach is wonderful the most during the Summer time.) Sao Beach, touted as one of the best and lesser-known beaches in Vietnam, is the amazing place still boasts a fairly basic existence and is an essential trip when visiting Phu Quoc. With its marvelous white sand, green-turquoise water, swaying palm trees and jungle backdrop, Sao Beach is the “perfect postcard” one that travelers searching for. Hanging offshore further, you will find schools of small fish, needle nose fish, and even squid under the water sometimes. This is a great rendezvous to relax attracting tourists to Phu Quoc travel, indeed, Sao Beach brings pristine and innocent beauty of a pubertal girl making up on the dressing table. Later on, we shall go to Thoi Pier to experience its busy oceanfront seafood marketplace. At the end of the tour you will be taken back to your hotel.
