Use Grab or Xanh SM: Grab cars and bikes and Xanh SM electric taxis run across Phu Quoc and are the easiest way to get between Duong Dong and the beaches.
Ride scooters with care: Scooters are popular for exploring the island's quiet roads; wear a helmet and ride slowly, especially at night and after rain.
Take the Hon Thom cable car: The long sea cable car leaves from near An Thoi in the south and runs over the islands to Hon Thom, with great views.

Check boat safety: On island-hopping and snorkelling trips around the An Thoi islands, make sure life jackets are provided and the boat is not overloaded.
Confirm seafood prices: At seafood restaurants, check the price per kilo and see the fish weighed before cooking to avoid a surprise bill.
Beware of fake pearls: Pearl shops are everywhere on Phu Quoc; buy only from reputable stores and do not trust bargains that seem too good.

Eat at the night market: The Phu Quoc Night Market in Duong Dong has affordable grilled seafood, banh mi and fruit shakes.
Stay in Duong Dong: Guesthouses and hotels in Duong Dong town are much cheaper than the big resort zones in the south and north of the island.
Enjoy the free beaches: Long Beach, Sao Beach and Ong Lang are free to visit, and most beach bars let you use loungers if you buy a drink.

Visit in the dry season: November to April is the best time for Phu Quoc, with sunny days and calm seas on the west coast beaches.
Plan for the wet season: From May to October rain and rough seas hit the west coast, so pick east coast beaches and pack a light rain jacket.
Dress light and cover up: The island is hot and humid all year; wear light clothes, a hat and reef-safe sunscreen and drink plenty of water.

Visit a fish sauce house: Phu Quoc is famous for nuoc mam; tour a fish sauce house in Duong Dong but check airline rules before packing a bottle.
Try island specialities: Taste bun quay, stirred noodle soup, goi ca trich herring salad and sim wine made from local wild berries.
Dress modestly at pagodas: Cover shoulders and knees at Ho Quoc Pagoda and the Dinh Cau shrine, and speak quietly in prayer halls.

Watch sunset from Dinh Cau: The rock shrine at the mouth of the Duong Dong river is a classic spot to watch the sun go down before the night market.
Go to Sao Beach early: Arrive at Sao Beach in the morning to enjoy the white sand before the tour groups arrive around midday.
Check visa-free entry: Foreign visitors flying straight into Phu Quoc can usually stay visa-free for a set period; check current rules before you fly.

Only have a day? Each one keeps you in one area, from morning to late afternoon, with lunch nearby.
