About Phu Quoc National Park

Phu Quoc National Park is a protected marine and terrestrial sanctuary covering approximately 31,422 hectares on Phu Quoc Island, Vietnam's largest island. The park encompasses pristine beaches, dense tropical forests, coral reefs, and mangrove ecosystems that harbor diverse wildlife including endemic species and marine life. It is one of Southeast Asia's most significant biodiversity hotspots and a relatively underdeveloped offbeat destination despite its ecological importance.

💡Why Visit?

Experience untouched tropical wilderness with opportunities for wildlife spotting, snorkeling in coral reefs, and trekking through primary forest away from mainstream tourist crowds. The park offers a genuine eco-tourism experience with minimal infrastructure, ideal for nature enthusiasts and conservation-minded travelers.

Travel Tips

  • Hire a local guide for forest treks; paths are unmarked and dense vegetation requires expert navigation.
  • Bring waterproof bags and reef-safe sunscreen; coral protection is critical for this marine sanctuary.
  • Visit during November-April for calm seas and optimal snorkeling and trekking conditions.
  • Book permits and guides through park headquarters in advance; capacity is limited to protect ecosystem.
  • Carry insect repellent, light clothing, and water supplies; facilities within park are minimal.
