Read on for our list of the most popular things to do in Phu Quoc Island.
Phu Quoc National Park

Dinh Cau Rock is an odd-shaped natural formation beside Duong Dong Fishing Harbour, which houses a lighthouse and Buddhist shrine with a rooftop terrace. Also known as Cua Temple, it was constructed in 1937 to commemorate Thien Hau (the Goddess of the sea), whom locals believe provides protection for fishermen heading out to sea. There are 29 winding stone steps to reach the top of Cua Temple, where you will be greeted with spectacular sunset views of Dinh Cau Beach, Duong Dong Town, and neighbouring islets. Entrance to Dinh Cau Rock is free of charge, and there are plenty of food and beverage stands at the base of the temple if you’re feeling peckish.

If you’re feeling adventurous, you can hike further up from the main waterfall site to visit Hang Doi (Grotto of Bats), which measures 200 metres in height and houses unique stalactites. Due to its close proximity to the main town, Suoi Tranh Waterfall is usually packed with locals during weekends and national holidays.
Duong Dong Market
Duong Dong Market, located along Tran Phu Street, is Phu Quoc Island’s busiest and largest outdoor market. The best time to visit is in the early morning, where you can see the locals bargaining hard for household items, fresh and dried seafood, meats, sweets and fruit from mainland Vietnam. Duong Dong Market also houses plenty of food stalls serving fresh seafood, fruit juices, and Vietnamese cuisine at relatively low prices. As the island is renowned for its mushroom, pepper and cashew nuts, we highly recommend picking up a few as souvenirs for loved ones back home.
Sung Hung Pagoda
Sung Hung Pagoda is a combination of two shrines that were built in the early 10th century, making it the oldest of its kind on Phu Quoc Island. Set along Tran Hung Dao Street in Duong Dong Town, the front courtyard features a statue of the Goddess of Mercy, potted plants and Bodhi trees while the three-storey prayer hall houses three Buddha statues and intricate paintings of Buddhist mythical creatures and legends.

Built in 1932 by accountant-turned-monk Nguyen Kim Muon, this pagoda is mostly frequented by locals thanks to its rather hidden locale. The main hall is accessible via a 60-step stairway, housing colourful relics and golden statues of Buddha. As with most religious sites around the world, do dress conservatively and refrain from making noises during your visit to Su Muon Pagoda.
Phu Quoc Prison
Phu Quoc Prison is a bleak reminder of Vietnam’s turbulent history, where over 40,000 North Vietnamese soldiers were imprisoned during the Vietnam War. Built in 1949 by French colonists, this war museum now houses torture instruments, photographs of former detainees and exhibits of brutal punishments such as crucifixion, food deprivation, and electrocution. A prominent site in Phu Quoc Prison is the row of tiger cages, where prisoners were kept in total darkness and subjected to extreme heat and cold for a prolonged period of time. Entrance fee is priced at VND 3,000 per person, with tours available in English, French and Vietnamese.
The tear-shaped island lies in the Gulf of Thailand, 45km west of Ha Tien and 15km south of the coast of Cambodia. It’s no lightweight: at 48km long (with an area of 574 sq km), Phu Quoc is Vietnam’s largest island – about the same size as Singapore. Phu Quoc’s rainy season darkens skies from late May to October, when the sea gets rough and a lot of diving stops. The peak season for tourism is midwinter, when the sky is blue and the sea is calm, but it can get pretty damn hot around April and May.
Fringed with white-sand beaches and with large tracts still cloaked in dense, tropical jungle, Phu Quoc rapidly morphed from a sleepy island backwater to a must-visit beach escape for Western expats and sun-seeking tourists. Beyond the resorts lining Long Beach, it’s still largely undeveloped, so there’s ample room for exploration and escaping. Dive the reefs, kayak in the bays, eat up the back-road miles on a motorbike, or just live the life of a lotus eater by lounging on the beach, indulging in a massage and dining on fresh seafood.
Phu Quoc Sardinella Salad
Enriched with the flavor of the sea, the sardinella salad is loved by many people. This bucolic meal, yet elegant, is the reason why so many people come to Phu Quoc every year to enjoy the sea and the delicious sardinella salad.
After washing and removing the fins, the chef will have to slice the sardine into thin many very slices. Then he or she will use lemon juice, thin sliced chili, sliced onion to mix with the sardines. Rice paper, herbs, and dried coconut meat are essential to this dish. Eating the sardinella salad, it is required to have both the home-grown vegetables and the herbs from the jungle. There are total 8 types of herbs while the home-grown vegetables including salad, basil, and many others. When eating the salad, you can taste the soft, and a bit sour of the fish, the fat of the coconut, and peanut, and the bitter of the jungle herbs. The herbs or its bitter will help food lovers who haven’t eaten salad with coconut milk from having a stomachache. The rice papers from Phu Quoc, big and limber, are also quite different from many other regions. Because of that, when making the rolls, the rice paper won’t be broken. This is also a special feature of the rice paper in Phu Quoc.
The sauce is also special. Made of chili, garlic, fried peanut, the sauce is a harmony combination of fat and chili, sour and sweet. Food lovers will have to come back for more.
Last but not least is the wine to drink along. While the fish is nutritious, it can be tough to the digest system. A bit of Sim Wine will help you eat better and tastier.

As one of Phu Quoc finest wines, Sim (the Vietnamese name of Rose Myrtle) is also rated as one of the best wine in Vietnam. The wine is made of the ripe Rose Myrtle and a little bit of yeast, and has a very special flavor. The jungle Rose Myrtle is uniquely special because of its bitterness combines with sweetness.
Phu Quoc has a cool climate, suitable for the Rose Myrtle to grow all year, but it only ripes on the first month of the lunar new year. The rose myrtle, when it was growing had a color like rose, but when it ripped, the color turned purple. The wine is not only a drink of nature but also a cure for many types of illnesses.

The snail can be easily found in the night market at Master Phu Quoc Palace or at almost any restaurant in Duong Dong Town. Grilling the snail requires technique and timing. As soon as the snail turns from milky white to yellow, it is ready to be served. If grilling for too long, the snail will be tough and dried. The snail is perfect if it is served with grilled corn, herbs such as basil, lettuce, salad, raw banana, cucumber, pineapple and dipped in spicy tofu or salt-n-chili lemon sauce. You can also roll it and dip into the fish sauce. In any form, it is just irresistibly delicious.
Grilled Jack mackerels or Trachurus
Many people know about the famous sardinella salad but not about the equally flavorful Jack mackerels. Not because it is less delicious or too hard to cook, but because the fish only arrives by the season. In the calm day of the sea, maybe you can catch a few but in the rough sea, it is impossible to find one. There are also many to make the fish but the best and also the simplest is to steam and dip in lemon salt-n-pepper sauce. You can also roll it into a fish roll with a little bit of herbs and you will want to make a second one.
The grilled Jack is very different, sweet but not fishy, and the meat is a bit tough but just perfect. These features are not easy to detect, but only the mackerels of Phu Quoc possess these.

This type of mushroom appears a lot in the primeval forest in Phu Quoc, and it can be cooked with everything from chicken to fish and meat.
Melaleuca mushroom grows only after the first rains in the mangrove forest. The leaves from the trees will fall down, cover the ground and create a type of mud which is suitable for the mushroom to grow. Season after season, the mushroom will grow and break out from the previous leaves layer. After the rains, the mushroom will stop growing.
In Phu Quoc, the mushroom is cooked with shrimp, squid, and this is a common dish for the locals. If you look harder, maybe you can find some machete or swordfish to make fish balls, which is perfect for the mushroom.

The barrels are tightening by using Rattan palm tree that is abundantly grown in Tam or Bac Dao Mountains.
