The speedboat cuts loose from An Thoi pier and the sea immediately takes charge — a white spray, a widening horizon and a string of karst-dotted isles stepping south into clearer water. On this private, half- to full-day outing travelers move between small beaches and shallow reefs, hopping from Hon Móng Tay’s palm-framed sand to coral gardens clustered around Hon Gam Ghi and May Rut.

The speedboat cuts loose from An Thoi pier and the sea immediately takes charge — a white spray, a widening horizon and a string of karst-dotted isles stepping south into clearer water. On this private, half- to full-day outing travelers move between small beaches and shallow reefs, hopping from Hon Móng Tay’s palm-framed sand to coral gardens clustered around Hon Gam Ghi and May Rut.
Geology here is compact and maritime: low limestone outcrops ringed by sand spits and fringing reef built on volcanic and carbonate substrates. The An Thoi archipelago has long been a local fishing and pearl-culturing zone; visits often include the island pearl workshop where you can see the process that shaped local livelihoods. The area’s wartime history appears in nearby Phu Quoc sites, while contemporary life revolves around boat traffic, small-family island owners and a growing marine park framework.
Practically, expect multiple short snorkel stops with equipment provided, a BBQ lunch and private transfers from Duong Dong. Seas can be calm in the dry season and choppier with onshore winds; guides choose snorkeling spots to match conditions. Bring a reef-safe sunscreen, a snug mask (loaners are available), and footwear for slippery rock landings. Hydrate before boarding and plan hotel pickups in Duong Dong — the tour is built for flexibility, whether you want relaxed swimming or focused reef time. For photographers, low sun angles early or late in the day sharpen color underwater and keep heat manageable.
Pick-up is provided from hotels in Duong Dong town; other collection points can be arranged on request.
