Moving to Phu Quy Island and on Phu Quy Island
Phuong shared: "I went to Phu Quy Island twice, once I took a sleeper bus for 300,000 VND/round trip for one person. Another time I chose to drive my own car to Phan Thiet. This way is suitable for large groups. The toll fee for the Ho Chi Minh City - Phan Thiet round trip is 156,000 VND, gas is about 500,000 VND. Overnight parking fee is about 150,000 VND/night. If there are 4 people, it will cost only over 200,000 VND per person. Going like this is also quite proactive."

How to check-in at places on Phu Quy island properly?
"Phu Quy Island is quite small, so in one day I can travel to many check-in locations. To make taking photos most convenient, you should refer to the map of locations on Phu Quy Island first, you can search right on Google Maps. Then, choose a location near your place to go first and then continue moving to the next points on the same route.
If you choose to take a boat to Phu Quy island in the morning and arrive at noon, you can start checking in at the check-in points in the afternoon of the same day. When going out in the afternoon, you can also choose the places to go so that the last stop of the day is a place to watch the sunset. If you go in the morning, you can also start with a place to watch the beautiful sunrise" - Phuong suggested.

Things to note when traveling to Phu Quy Island
You can download the Windfinder app to check the weather before planning to go to Phu Quy island.
Boats to and from the island run on a fixed schedule every month, so you need to book tickets in advance to calculate the appropriate schedule, and during peak season tickets sell out very quickly.
Prepare anti-seasickness medicine before boarding the boat to the island because the route from Phan Thiet port to Phu Quy island is considered a sea route with horizontal waves and many whirlpools, making it impossible for boats to go downstream but must overcome the waves to go, so the boat is also prone to shaking.
The island is quite hot, so you should choose light clothes. You should also prepare sunscreen, long-sleeved shirts, etc. because the sun on the island can be very harsh at times.
