But before starting your journey to this lovely island, don’t forget to do some research on the best times to visit Phu Quoc. You’ll have chances to enjoy the beaches in perfect weather, capture the most colorful season for coral reefs, or even experience Phu Quoc in the low season, or what I like to call “the sneaky mode”.

Where to Stay

Two days to spend in Phu Quoc gives you just enough time to stay in a luxury resort or affordable homestay depending on your preference. Just like any other famous traveling spot in Vietnam, there’s a wide range of accommodations for you to pick from.

Day 1

Morning

Let’s start our day with the legendary cuisine of Phu Quoc: bun quay, or translated into English as stirred vermicelli. The reason behind this name lies in how you eat the dish. Fresh shrimp and fish are carefully minced into a paste, which is later spread inside the bowl. Before eating bun quay, stir the mixture with hot soup to fully cook it. The flavor wafting from the bowl will also be richer and tastier! You can try one of the below restaurants for the best bun quay in town:

Bun Quay Kien Xay

Address: 28 Bach Dang, Phu Quoc, Kien Giang

Opening hours: 6:30 AM to 11:00 PM

Price range: 15,000 VND to 30,000 VND

Bun Quay Thanh Hung

Address: 157 Ba Muoi Thang Tu, Phu Quoc, Kien Giang

Opening hours: 9:00 AM to 11:00 PM

Price range: 20,000 VND to 25,000 VND



After breakfast, you can head to Ham Ninh fishing village. Located about 20 kilometers from Duong Dong town, this is a village with picturesque scenes and fishermen still living by their ancient trade. Do a little shopping here and bring home some marine souvenirs. Ham Ninh village is also said to be a very photogenic spot so you can take lots of photos with beautiful backgrounds of the wide sea and clear sky above you. When lunchtime is near, enjoy a seafood feast prepared on the boats of fishermen. The delicious food and the local friendliness will certainly make your day.

Speaking of food, there are plenty of street vendors and big restaurants. You should really try Phu Quoc special street food such as grilled sea urchins, handmade coconut candy, sweet banh uot, and tons of other dishes. Finish this food tour and you can call it a day.

Day 2

Morning

On this second day, you must try mackerel noodles for breakfast. Mackerel fish is cooked in many ways, but it is often fried or steamed according to the cooks’ style. This special bowl of noodles still has the fresh oceanic flavor from the fish broth and tasty seasoning from the cooks. With herbs and scallions on top, you will slurp up every last bite until it’s finished!
