Phu Quoc is also a great family-friendly tourist attraction due to the availability of family delights not only coming from the inherent natural and cultural sites but also modern amusement parks and the enjoyable cable ride passing through beautiful sceneries of the island and the deep-blue sea then reaching a beautiful smaller islet further to the south for relaxing, sightseeing and other various leisure activities.
Among a variety of Mekong River Cruise options, if you’re planning a combination of both Mekong Delta and Phu Quoc discoveries, the itinerary between Saigon and Phu Quoc is the only cruise trip that could offer you the chance of visiting this attractive beach destination, which the island will be either the first or the last stop. From Saigon, get ready for the pick-up helping you board the cruise vessel at the pier. After getting a wonderful glimpse of the exotic charms in Mekong Delta through several local activities at the prominent attractions en route, you will be transferred to Rach Gia – the capital city, or Ha Tien, which is also a city of Kien Giang, to depart a ferry heading to Phu Quoc Island, which takes a couple of hours. Or else, you can opt to take the reverse itinerary (from Phu Quoc to Saigon) to well-match your initial travel plan. Whichever options you choose, Phu Quoc’s sublime highlights surely deliver you great days out with endless fun and remarkable memories from dawn till dusk.
