Phu Quoc Boat Tour – Snorkeling, Fishing & Lunch on Board
An ocean journey tailored for families with seniors, young children, or anyone looking to enjoy a relaxed pace out on the water. Unlike high-speed speedboats, choosing a Phu Quoc boat tour 1-day itinerary (8:00 AM – 5:00 PM) offers a spacious 2-deck relaxing space and a smooth-sailing design that minimizes the rough jolts that cause seasickness. During 9 hours cruising through Southern Phú Quốc, guests will hand-line fish for fun, snorkel in shallow waters around pristine islands, and enjoy a 7-course seafood lunch prepared fresh on board. If you prefer a faster pace, you can check out our Phu Quoc 3-Island Speedboat Tour. At an all-inclusive price of $27.0 per guest including round-trip transfers, meals, and snorkeling gear, this island tour with lunch on board maximizes comfort and safety for all ages.
Why Choose a Phu Quoc Boat Tour?
| Common Guest Issues | Standard Mass Tours | Our Phu Quoc Wooden Boat Tour |
| Seasickness & fatigue | Use high-speed speedboats with constant bouncing over large waves | Phu Quoc wooden boat with 2 spacious decks, high capacity, smooth navigation, and open movement space |
| Crowded dining | Crowded waiting at packed island restaurants | Enjoy a freshly served 7-course hot lunch right out on the ocean |
| Rushed schedule | Cramming 4–5 spots into a short time, wearing guests out | A relaxed 9-hour itinerary with plenty of time to swim and unwind |
| Hidden costs | Frequent stops with extra fees and pressure to buy souvenirs | Direct operator, 100% transparent pricing, zero pushy upselling |
The biggest advantage of a wooden boat lies in its heavier hull weight and deep displacement design. Cruising at an average speed of 8–10 knots, it neutralizes up to 80% of side-to-side roll caused by sea waves. Guests can relaxingly lounge on the second-deck wooden floor or move around freely without feeling cramped.

- Local Insight at the Fishing Spot: An Thới currents harbor plenty of triggerfish and small grouper. The trick is letting the sinker line touch the seafloor, then lifting it up about 20cm to get the quickest bites.
- Local Insight at Hòn Gầm Ghì: The 11:30 AM – 1:00 PM window provides vertical sunlight through the clear ocean, illuminating the coral reef’s natural colors through your snorkel mask.

Local Tips for Taking a Phu Quoc Boat Tour
- Best Time of Year: Phu Quoc’s dry season (November to April of the following year) brings the calmest seas and exceptionally clear blue waters. During the Southwest monsoon rainy season (May to October), wooden boats offer superior safety due to their heavy hull weight and steady ride with minimal bouncing. Guests are encouraged to check the Phu Quoc weather forecast before departure.
- Optimal Departure Time: Hotel pickups starting at 8:00 AM allow plenty of time to reach the port at a relaxed pace without rushing. Departing at 9:30 AM ensures the boat arrives at snorkeling spots right when the sun is overhead, delivering maximum underwater visibility.
- Who This Tour Isn’t For: Travelers seeking high-speed thrills or looking to cram 5–6 spots into half a day won’t find this wooden boat Phu Quoc island tour a good fit.
- Practical Tip: If you are sensitive to engine smells, take a seasickness pill 30 minutes before boarding and choose a seat on the breezy upper deck. Wearing swimwear underneath your clothes saves time changing on the islands.
- When to Book: During peak season (November to April), demand for Phu Quoc island boat tours is high. We recommend booking at least 3–5 days in advance to secure prime spots on board. You can also read our Phu Quoc 3-Island Tour Guide for thorough preparation.

Le bateau est spacieux et bien aménagé, l'équipage est sympa et toujours dispo si besoin. Le matériel de snorkeling était propre et en bon état. On a vu pas mal de poissons, des crabes et même un petit poulpe 😊 tout ça sans déranger les coraux. Franchement,c'était une belle journée,je recommande sans hésiter
From hotel pickup in the morning until they dropped us back in the evening,everything went quite smoothly. Definitely worth the money. Lunch was actually my favourite part haha, not too spicy and there was plenty of food for everyone. Only thing I wish is we had a bit more time for snorkeling at the second island,it felt a little rushed. The guide spoke decent English, cracked a few jokes too 😄 It was nice spending the day on a big boat with people from so many different countries.
真的觉得这趟很值！！本来没抱太大期待，结果性价比比想象中高😂 午餐不错，量也够，整个行程安排得挺满的，水上滑梯玩得很开心，而且中途没有额外收费。
Good value for the money. The team msged us a day before to confirm the pickup time,so everything was quite smooth. Reached An Thoi Pier around 9.30am and went out for snorkeling not long after. Lunch was better than I expected, lots of seafood and the portions were quite big. We left the last island at about 4.30pm and got back to the hotel close to 6pm. Pretty tiring day haha,but worth it. One tip... bring your own beach mat if you don't want to rent the chairs 😄
I booked this mostly because I didn't wanna stay at the hotel all day 😅 The islands are nice,even tho they do look pretty similar lol. Pickup in the morning was a little slow since we had to wait around 30 mins while everyone arrived before boarding. Snorkeling gear was provided so getting in the water was easy. Staff were friendly and spoke enough English to help us out. For the price,can't really complain... good value tbh. I'd do it if you're looking to get out for the day.
가이드분(권? 맞는지 잘 모르겠어요 ㅎㅎ)이 일정 하나하나 신경 많이 써주셔서 편하게 다녔습니다. 점심도 포함이라 기대 안했는데 생각보다 괜찮았어요 ^^ 스노클링은 2곳에서 하고 마지막 섬은 자유시간이라 쉬기 좋았습니다. 무료 샤워도 가능해서 돌아갈때 훨씬 개운했어요. 다만 비누,샴푸,수건은 직접 챙겨야 합니다. 마지막 섬에서 4시30분쯤 끝나고 출발했던 푸꾸옥으로 5시30분쯤 도착했어요. 만족한 투어였네요.
남부 쪽 부티크 호텔에서도 픽업 가능해서 편했어요. 3개 섬 돌아다니면서 스노쿨링 2번 하고 배 위에서 점심도 먹었습니다. 가격 생각하면 가성비 괜찮은 상품인 것 같아요. 다만 마지막 섬에서 1시간 30분 정도 머무는 건 조금 따분할 수 있어요. 그래도 전체적으로는 괜찮았습니다.
