Today is travel day, and big adventures are ahead! We're catching the ferry from Ha Tien Port over to Phu Quoc Island. It takes about 1.5 hours by high-speed hydrofoil.

Arriving in Phu Quoc.

Phu Quoc is a Vietnamese island off the coast of Cambodia in the Gulf of Thailand. It is the largest island in Vietnam and known for white-sand beaches and resorts, most of which are along the palm-lined southwest coast. More than half of the island is part of Phu Quoc National Park which features mountains, dense tropical jungle, hiking trails and wildlife.

During our two-day in Phu Quoc, we occupied a spacious Airbnb house within a residential complex owned by Bao's family.

A beautiful beach just a short walk from the house.

We spent the afternoon visiting the famous "Sunset Town," located on the southwestern coast of the island just north of An Thoi Port. The town is designed to mimic Italy's Amalfi Coast, featuring Roman-style pillars, pastel-colored houses, fountains, and a clock tower. It is also home to the famous Kissing Bridge and a cable car system.

We spent our last full day on an island-hopping tour, visiting four islands in the An Thoi archipelago to the south. In addition to exploring beautiful beaches, the tour included a seafood lunch and a snorkeling experience in the remarkable tropical waters of southwestern Vietnam.

After a long lunch break, we continued to "Mong Tay" (Fingernail) Island. Mong Tay Island is considered the "Maldives of Vietnam" because of its clear, turquoise water and fine white sand beaches.
