The best snorkeling adventure you can do on Phu Quoc.
It’s a very small group of max. 9 people.
We got picked up from the middle east of the island. They wait for the perfect time of the day, so the visibility was about 8meters for us.
The company is very economy friendly. Means, you only get cold bottled water on the speedboat. They don’t destroy the reefs by anchor a little far next to them. That’s a good point to choose OnBird!
After we stoped at shallow water to test equipment and get introduced how snorkeling works, we drove to the first of two reefs. Visibility was around 6-7 meters I would say. Almost perfect conditions. Colorful coralls and fish. We thought it won’t get any better. After about 45min of snorkeling without any other tourist groups, we drove to the 2nd spot. No other boat in sight. Visibilty about 8-9meters. Again, so many different fish and corrals and crabs. No garbage. Just nature at it’s best. We had a little more than 40min snorkeling here.
Then we drove to an island were we got free chairs, some fresh fruits and a fresh drink. (Coconut for us). Nice water and beach as well to enjoy for 1hour. Other than we experienced on Saona Island in the Dominican Repuplic, they don’t want to sell you something. They never asked us to get anything to drink or eat for money. They just came if you actively waved your hand to get something. That’s a big plus point here.
Now to our tour guide.
James was amazing. He’s funny and knows alot. He showed pictures to us on the bus before, what kind of different fish and corrals we can see and what they’re called.
He explained the do’s and don’ts while snorkeling, to safe the reefs.
All together, it was an amazing tour and I only can recommend it to everyone else!
We will definitley do it again, if we ever come again to this island.
