Phu Quoc Island Tour by Private Speedboat

Private Phu Quoc island tour without the group-tour rush

If you are searching for a Phu Quoc island tour, island hopping, or a 4 island tour, this is the private version I recommend for couples, families and small groups who want a calmer day on the water.

You get your own speedboat in the southern An Thoi archipelago, hotel pickup, snorkeling gear, lunch, fruit, water and drone photos. No waiting for strangers. No fixed group-tour timetable. The route is chosen on the day around the sea, wind and what your group actually wants to do.

Most days we make three beautiful stops: one or two snorkeling spots plus one or two islands or quiet beaches. Some operators call this a “4 island tour” by counting a lunch beach stop as an island. I keep the promise simple: a private boat day with the best water stops available that day, not a checklist just for marketing.

What to expect on the island hopping day

A private speedboat for your group

Your boat is not shared with another booking. That means the captain can slow down, move on, or stay longer depending on your mood. Families with children can keep the day easy; couples can make it more photo-focused; groups who love snorkeling can spend more time in the water.

Snorkeling in the An Thoi islands

The southern islands are the best area for a Phu Quoc snorkeling tour. You will usually see coral, tropical fish and clear shallow water that is easy for beginners. Gear and life vests are included, and the captain picks spots that match the weather instead of forcing a bad stop.

Quiet beaches and island stops

Depending on sea conditions, your island hopping route may include a small beach, a calm swimming area, or a sand-and-coral stop away from the busiest cable car crowds. The goal is a relaxed private tour, not rushing from pier to pier.

Drone photos and real memories

Drone photos and videos are included, so you leave with more than phone pictures from the boat. If this matters to you, tell me on WhatsApp before the trip so I can plan the best timing and light.

Door-to-door hotel pickup

A private car picks you up from your hotel in the morning and drops you back after the tour. If you are staying far north or far south, send your hotel name when you ask for a quote so I can price the transfer correctly.

Sample Phu Quoc 4 island tour itinerary

This is a sample plan, not a fixed script. The captain may adjust the order for cleaner water, safer conditions or fewer crowds.

• 9:00 AM Private car pickup from your hotel
• 9:30 AM Board your private speedboat in the south
• 10:00 AM First snorkeling stop in calm water
• 11:15 AM Island or beach stop for swimming and photos
• 12:30 PM Lunch: Asian, Western style, or BBQ at a private cove
• 1:45 PM Second snorkeling or beach stop, depending on the sea
• 3:00-4:00 PM Return to shore and hotel drop-off

If you want an earlier start, more snorkeling time, or a softer day for children, message me before booking. Private is useful because the day can bend around you.

Pick your lunch

Lunch is included in the tour and you choose the style on WhatsApp before the day. Three options:

• Asian lunch. Vietnamese and regional dishes, less touristy, cooked to order.
• Western style lunch. Clean, familiar and kid-friendly.
• BBQ lunch at a private cove. Your group alone on a quiet beach with a grill set up for you.

Is this the same as a group 4 island tour?

No. A typical Phu Quoc 4 island tour is a shared speedboat or large group trip with a fixed route, fixed lunch and many people moving together. This private island tour costs more than the cheapest group option, but it gives you privacy, flexible timing, easier hotel pickup and a route chosen for the day’s conditions.

If you want the cheapest possible ticket, a group tour may be better. If you want a smoother day with your own boat, this private tour is the better fit.

Pricing and payment

This is a fully private tour. Price depends on your group size, hotel location and lunch choice. I quote the full amount up front on WhatsApp before you commit. Payment is in Vietnamese Dong at the end of your trip at your hotel. No platforms, no deposits, no surprise surcharges.

Message me on WhatsApp with your travel date, hotel, group size, ages of children if any, and lunch style for an exact quote.

Frequently asked questions

How many islands do we visit on this Phu Quoc island tour?

Most trips include three main water or island stops plus lunch. The exact mix changes with sea conditions: sometimes two snorkeling spots and one beach, sometimes one snorkeling spot and two island/beach stops. I prefer choosing the best stops on the day over forcing a number.

Is this good for children or beginners?

Yes, it is usually a good fit for families and first-time snorkelers because the boat is private and life vests are provided. Tell me the children’s ages on WhatsApp so I can suggest the easiest version of the day.

What should we bring?

Bring swimwear, towel, sunscreen, sunglasses, a dry bag if you have one, and a change of clothes for the ride back. Water, fruit, lunch, snorkeling gear and life vests are included.

Can we combine the island tour with the cable car or Kiss Bridge?

Usually yes, but it depends on your hotel location, group pace and the cable car schedule. If you want to add Sunset Town, Kiss Bridge or the cable car, mention it when you message me so I can build the day properly.
