Guide tour Emma is the best!!! She is soooo energetic and friendly, doing her best to keep us safe, cared and entertained. Captain Tony also very nice, he helped us to take dope photos and taught us to pose good poses! I went to 3 snorkeling and all was nice, saw fishes and beautiful reef. They even provide drone video and photo shots for free! All in all, very good experience and would recommend it to all.

This is a tour for two women. They provided hotel pick-up service and dropped us off at our desired location after the tour, which was convenient. The staff were also very friendly and did not force us to do additional products such as sea walking. The schedule started with choosing between fishing or sea walking on the first island. We chose fishing, and it was much more fun and easier than we thought. When the bait ran out, the staff put it back in, and if we caught a good fish, they grilled it for the person who caught it for lunch. After fishing, they asked for seafood BBQ, and there was an additional charge (about 300,000 dong), but it was delicious. Beer costs about 30,000 dong per bottle, and I recommend having a cold drink after fishing. We added BBQ for lunch. After that, we went snorkeling on the first island. The water was not very clear, but we could see the fish well, so it was fun. It lasted about 45 minutes, and we could see the staff washing the snorkeling equipment with soap after use, so it was hygienic. We had a bit of a headache because we had to breathe only through our mouths after snorkeling, so please keep that in mind. When you arrive at the second island, there are cafes, restaurants, and shower rooms. Those who do not snorkel on the third island can use the shower rooms. The shower fee is 20,000 dong, and shampoo, conditioner, and body wash are each 5,000 dong. After enjoying the last snorkeling on the third island (about 45 minutes), we moved to the dock, and at the end, we were dropped off wherever we wanted. Tip: There are sunbeds on the upper level of the boat, so you can lie down and move around. Beer on the boat is really good. It tastes better if you have simple peanuts or snacks with the beer.

It includes transfers, snorkeling on two islands, dining on the third island, and finally taking the cable car back to the water park. The overall trip experience is good, but the time for the four islands is really tight. It is recommended to arrange it more flexibly.

It's the best value for money~!! I really enjoyed it. Since we did snow cooling twice, it's even more fun with kids. We also went fishing and had lunch, so we filled our stomachs, so it's the best to enjoy all day. But if you get seasick, be careful~

The tour guide was very responsible. A bus came to pick us up at the pier. On the boat, we could fish (about 40 minutes), snorkel, and provide lunch (shrimp, vegetables, rice, soup, etc.), which was shared by 4-6 people. The only drawback was that the toilet on the boat was rather simple, with no place to take a shower, and only a bucket of water to shower. After the activity, a bus would take us back to the hotel.

The tour guide arranged the entire trip very well. Although it rained occasionally, it did not affect the trip at all. The sea was very clear. It was unforgettable to see many fish while walking on the seabed. There were divers to help take pictures. In addition, there were some activities that you could pay for yourself. It is worth arranging this trip to Phu Quoc Island
