The sea floor walking experience was the highlight of the trip — truly unique and something I’d highly recommend trying. The overall three-island tour was well organised, with the timings and plan for each island clearly explained in advance. The guides were very polite and helpful throughout the day. The food was decent, nothing extraordinary but perfectly fine for a tour. Overall, it was a very enjoyable experience and worth doing when in Phu Quoc.

Hello. I was very satisfied with the hopping tour I took with Red River Tour in September of last year. I visited Phu Quoc with my daughter this time and had a great time using the same tour. It was the lowest price hopping tour + fishing, and I also made good use of the paid options. I was satisfied with the fluent English guidance and flexible program operation of our guide, "Brain". I plan to use it again next time. Thank you. ^^ Guide: The best. Boat condition: The boat was big and safe. Schedule: I was satisfied.

On-the-go scenery: I can still vividly remember the exhilarating feeling of riding a speedboat! The sea color was slightly different at each of the Montai, Gam Gi, and May Rut islands, so I kept admiring the view. I saw a lot of fish while snorkeling, and the island atmosphere was so peaceful that just lying down and relaxing with my friend was healing itself. I was also touched by how passionately the guide took photos for us. The boat was also clean and in great condition!

The activity was truly amazing, leaving me and my family with a deep impression and wonderful memories. It was our best experience in Phu Quoc. I usually don't leave comments, but I wanted to share this with more people, so I made a point of writing down the whole experience process to let more people know. The itinerary is as follows: 1. There will be a dedicated car to pick you up at the hotel (the tour guide will notify the hotel of the pick-up time via WhatsApp the night before departure). 2. After picking up all the group members, we will depart for the pearl factory (really just a sightseeing spot, no forced purchases). 3. Take a speedboat to the first island, which has different photo spots. The tour fee also includes some free photos and aerial photography locations. You can retrieve the photos from the team leader 1-2 days after the tour (remember to listen to the tour guide's instructions and pay attention to the time: taking photos, meeting, group meals). In addition, there are also optional self-funded activities on the island, such as parasailing and banana boats. 4. On the second island, take a boat to go for a sea walking experience. Free lockers are provided. The sea walking experience is amazing, lasting about 20 minutes. It originally includes some free photos and videos. In addition, the divers are great. Seeing that we brought a GoPro, they also helped us take extra videos as a souvenir. Even my parents, who are not very good at water sports, thought the experience was great and worth the price 👍🏻 (I really wanted to tip the divers, but the money was in the locker, and they were in the water, so I couldn't). After the sea walking, remember to go to the reception to retrieve the underwater photos and videos. They will airdrop them to your phone on the spot. Retrieve your personal items from the locker, and then follow the tour guide on the speedboat to the snorkeling area (snorkeling time is relatively tight. It was only at this moment that I realized that not all members of the group participated in the sea walking, so they would have come earlier to enjoy snorkeling. And everyone's retreat time is the same, but I personally think the sea walking is too worthwhile, so it doesn't matter if the snorkeling time is shorter). 5. Speedboat to the 3rd island, which has similar photo spots to the 1st island, but we didn't have extra time to take photos because we had to change back into dry clothes. 6. Speedboat back to get on the car and drop off at the hotel (the Klook tour fee is already clearly marked and priced, no need to pay extra guide fee/tips).

I was a solo traveler and booking this tour was worth it! Aside from the activities, they will also take amazing pictures and video of you that’s insta worthy. Overall, I enjoyed the trip and Namaste Sea Walking experience 💕💯

I really loved this trip, especially the snorkeling where you can see coral 🪐 and a lot of fish 🐠. The lunch was also very rich 👍. It's a very recommended activity.

A good tour operator, very attentive. First, they took us to a pearl farm. By the way, compared to the jewelry stores in the city, the price there seemed lower. And if you suddenly decide to buy, I highly recommend bargaining very well and lowering the price. Next, you will be taken to two floating rafts where you can see fish, one is paid, the other has free snorkeling, the third has photo and video shooting, and there are great locations for independent photo shoots. But the guide didn't tell us about these points, we found them ourselves while waiting for each other's photo shoots. The fourth island is the most interesting, with a cool water park, but there wasn't enough time to swim. Exactly at 4:00 p.m. you need to run to the cable car in order to have time to get there without long queues. I recommend the tour.
