Move Ho Chi Minh City to Phan Thiet: You can take a bus to the coastal city of Phan Thiet, the travel time is about 4 hours. Because we want to be proactive about the time as well as enjoy the scenery along the way, our group chose motorbikes as a means of transportation. Phan Thiet to Phu Quy Island: There are many shipping lines for you to choose to move to the island such as Phu Quy Express, Superdong, Phu Quy Island… We choose the Superdong train, take VIP seats and return to normal seats to have a variety of experiences. However, I think it’s better to take the VIP seat because the cabin is quite quiet, served with filtered water, cold towels and a recliner. Meanwhile, the normal class is the seat, which is quite hot. Those who go to the island on the weekend should book tickets from 2 weeks to 1 month in advance because the train often runs out of seats early. After more than 2 hours floating on the immense sea, the group arrived on Phu Quy island. Visitors can easily record beautiful frames on Phu Quy island.

Day 1 The group had a light breakfast, then at 6:30 a.m. depart for the pier.

The group arrived at the island at 9:15. Someone picked up their group at the wharf and took motorbikes to move on the island. After that, the group moved to the motel near the shipping dock. Since we intend to camp on the island, we went to the Residency Committee. Phu Quy is a military island, visitors who want to camp should ask the motel for a permit first. Visitors need to keep the common hygiene, should not make campfires, bustling activities, noisy on the island. After that, we went to Hoa Thuong hot beef restaurant for lunch.

Sunset fell, the group decided to watch the sun set at Long Vi. After that, we moved to the accommodation, processed seafood and washed to go to the campsite. Trieu Duong Bay and Phut slope have registered campers. Therefore, we planted it at Small Beach. The view here is quite chill, we can see the sunrise right in front of our eyes in the morning, especially there is no phone signal, so we feel separate from the noisy city. However, the way to Bai Nho has to walk quite hard. We were fortunate to have a local friend guide us, so the schedule was quite convenient. After setting up camp, we grilled seafood, enjoyed homemade dinner together. Eat, drink, talk until about 10 pm, the whole association cleans up, looks at the stars and goes to the tent to rest. Friends camping on Phu Quy island. Day 2 We got up early to catch the sunrise but that day there were quite a lot of clouds, we couldn’t hunt the sunrise. Around 6 o’clock, the group cleaned up the tent and garbage, then went back to the motel to put things and take a shower. After that, we have breakfast and coffee at the property. Trieu Duong Bay is the first check-in point of the new day. It has a wide beach, white sand, stretches to the top with clear blue sea, suitable for swimming, camping or picnicking. However, the scenery was not too special, so we only visited for a short time. The group continued to check-in the Phu Quy flagpole.

In recent years, tourism in Phu Quy has grown more and more, attracting tourists to explore this beautiful island. The wild beauty of Hon Tranh attracts tourists. On the canoe, visitors will be able to fish with a line according to the instructions. However, there was a member who was seasick and that day the sea was rough, so the fishing time was not much. The weather was hot and sunny, the group only checked-in a few beautiful places in Hon Tranh. Swimming, boating, diving to see corals, and going out with fishermen to catch and process seafood on boats are popular activities on the island. We decided to paddle SUP, watch the sunset, enjoy the fresh air here. After a long day with many interesting experiences, the group went home, took a cool bath, rested, then bought a seafood hot pot at Mesh Sea Food and went home to eat. After eating and drinking, all packed their luggage to return to the mainland the next day. Day 3 The ship had a tidal problem, so it departed at 11am.
