The boat eases away from An Thoi harbor and the sea opens into a flat, turquoise plain; palms onshore shrink into a thin green line as the islands loom like reef-topped plateaus. Onboard, the breeze salts your skin and the crew readies snorkel gear while the engine stutters into a steady, optimistic hum.

The boat eases away from An Thoi harbor and the sea opens into a flat, turquoise plain; palms onshore shrink into a thin green line as the islands loom like reef-topped plateaus. Onboard, the breeze salts your skin and the crew readies snorkel gear while the engine stutters into a steady, optimistic hum.
These three islands—Mong Tay, Gam Ghi and May Rut—sit on the southern edge of Phu Quoc’s An Thoi archipelago, where Pleistocene limestone shelves drop into clear tropical waters. The shallow reefs around Gam Ghi support branching and boulder corals and schools of damselfish; May Rut’s sand spits form after seasonal currents push fine sediment into sheltered bays. The islands have been part of local fishing and navigation routes for generations, and you’ll often hear echoes of sea–based livelihoods in the crew’s hospitality and the Vietnamese lunch served on deck.
Expect a full-day rhythm: a relaxed hour on Mong Tay for swimming and photos, a focused snorkeling stop at Gam Ghi to observe reefs and colorful reef fish, then a longer beach break at May Rut for sunbathing and shoreline walks. The water is typically calm but can be choppy in onshore winds; visibility peaks in the dry season.
Practical notes: bring reef-safe sunscreen, a lightweight rash guard, and a waterproof phone case for quick photos. Basic snorkeling experience is helpful but guides provide orientation and masks are supplied. Plan for a 5–6 hour outing with transfers from south Phu Quoc; when in doubt, pick morning departures for calmer seas and softer light for photos.
Yes—basic snorkel equipment is included, but many travelers bring their own for better fit and hygiene.
