Fishing & Snorkeling Tour by Catamaran Speedboat

Departs 08:30 Returns 15:30
Departs from An Thoi Harbour on Phu Quoc. Our Saigon River tours run separately, from Ho Chi Minh City.
A full day at sea south of Phu Quoc, snorkeling and fishing across three of the quietest An Thoi islands.
The first stop is Hon Kim Quy, then Hon Dam Ngang: small islands where the coral starts a couple of metres down and the water is calm enough to snorkel with no experience at all. Masks and fins are on board, and the guide stays in the water with anyone who wants the company. Families and non-swimmers do this trip every week.
Seven hours on the water, aboard one of our two catamaran speedboats. Your guide meets you at your hotel and rides with you to the boat. An Thoi is a working harbour before it is a departure point, and you leave past the fishing fleet lying at anchor.
Between the stops your guide works the hand-line the fishermen here still use, the same gear handled the same way, and you are welcome to try it. It is a demonstration rather than a fishing charter, though guests do land fish.
The last anchorage is Hon May Rut, one of the quietest islands in the group, with time in the water or on the sand. Then the boat turns for An Thoi. Seven hours on the water and not one of them spent in a souvenir shop.

A Memorable Evening with Exceptional Service
My girlfriend and I had a truly wonderful evening, thanks to the impeccably organized and professional service provided by Les Rives. From the seamless pick-up to the knowledgeable guide, comfortable boat, and well-chosen destinations, everything exceeded our expectations. Hung, our guide, was a delight to be around and enriched our experience with insightful information. We would enthusiastically recommend this company above others. Despite the slightly higher cost, we found the experience to be immensely worthwhile. Keep shining, Hung!

Amazing First Snorkeling Trip in Southern Phu Quoc!
Our first snorkeling trip to southern Phu Quoc was fantastic, all thanks to Les Rives' excellent organization and planning. Hung, our tour guide was wonderful. He explained the itinerary clearly, so we always knew what was next. The islands and snorkeling spots were beautiful, and it felt like we had the island all to ourselves. Hung's deep knowledge of Phu Quoc and its islands made the experience feel very personal. I highly recommend Les Rives. Thank you, Hung, and his team for making our day so special!

Amazing boat trip
We can't stop raving about our snorkeling trip—it was an absolute highlight! Despite the weather being less than ideal, we were thrilled to experience the underwater wonders of Phu Quoc. Swimming amidst the vibrant fish and mesmerizing coral reefs was truly breathtaking. What made the trip even more remarkable were our guide, Hung. Their professionalism and attention to detail were outstanding. They ensured our safety and made sure that even non-swimmers and families with young children had a fantastic time. Their expertise and guidance were invaluable throughout the excursion. If you're visiting Phu Quoc, we highly recommend booking a snorkeling experience with Les Rives. They cater to all skill levels and make it accessible for everyone to enjoy. Whether you're an experienced swimmer or traveling with little ones, Les Rives will provide an unforgettable adventure. Thank you Les Rives team 🛳
Amazing trip
We had an amazing day exploring multiple islands in the south of Phu Quoc with Les Rives. The tour was exceptionally well-organized, and the team took excellent care of us throughout the trip. We were treated to a delicious lunch on one of the islands, which was a delightful highlight. The snorkeling experience was fantastic, and we thoroughly enjoyed the stops at the beautiful islands. We extend our gratitude to Les Rives for providing us with such a wonderful day.
What a great day
I discovered this company while searching for boat trips with snorkeling in the southern part of Phu Quoc, and I'm glad I did. Booking through their website was easy, and they picked us up on time from our hotel lobby. Our guide, Hung, was fantastic—funny, knowledgeable, and spoke excellent English. We had a great day snorkeling at a beautiful island and trying our hand at fishing. The delicious seafood lunch on a private island was a highlight. Overall, the experience was exceptional, thanks to the friendly staff. I highly recommend it.
Highly recommended
We had an amazing time on this sunset cruise tour. Staff are extremely accommodating, friendly and helpful. Unlimited complementary include tea, soft drinks, water tropical fruit and snacks were provided along the tour. The catamaran speedboat was barely half full, we were able to walk around and change sits and enjoy different views. Hang was our tour guide, she was lovely and spoke English very well. Another plus is that all staff wore masks at the whole times and followed covid regulations strictly. Overall really good experience and highly recommended.
Lovely guide ever
Overall it was a great day out. We were picked up promptly from our hotel and transferred to An Thoi harbour where we joined the speedboat tour to explore the southern of Phu Quoc. As there was a heavy rain the day before the tour, I was a little concerned about the sea that would not be ideal for snorkelling, however Hang, our lovely tour guide, had an extensive knowledge of the local snorkelling areas and changed the itinerary to suit the conditions. Our first snorkelling was in the relatively shallow waters of Hon Bang island, and then the deeper, but slightly more exposed site on Hon Buom island. Both locations are great spot for snorkelling with beautiful coral and lots of colorful fish swimming around. After that we had back to the private island for lunch. Thanks Hang and her team for this great day.
Highly recommended !
I can’t say enough good things about the experience and the crew, especially the tour guide, Hang. She was lovely, knowledgeable. She gave us some good information about the life of local fisherman in An Thoi. My boyfriend loved the sunset scenery, it was beautiful and romantic. I travel quite a bit and I’m the typical traveller with high expectations and standards, but this was one of the best experiences I’ve had. Highly recommended!!
Romantic sunset
This was one of the best experience we had in Phu Quoc. First of all, the staff was very nice and welcoming. They served us fruits, water, soft drinks and snacks. The staff also respects the COVID-19 measurements, by providing hand sanitizer and give masks if you don’t have one. Everyone is kept at distance from the other. I will strongly recommend you to do this with sunset cruise. The catamaran speedboat was spotless and huge. I will definitely do it again and recommend this cruise to everyone.
