Going on an island-hopping snorkelling tour, taking the cable car to an amusement park on Hon Thom (Pineapple Island) and visiting Sunset Town are among top activities while travelling Phu Quoc island in Vietnam’s Mekong Delta province of Kien Giang, recommended Lonely Planet, the travel information website dubbed “the backpacker's blue bible”. The author described Phu Quoc as a blessed island with 150km of gorgeous coastline, a heavily forested interior (more than half of the island is a national park) and bountiful seafood. It’s also the only place in Vietnam where tourists of any nationality can visit for up to 30 days visa-free. Besides suggesting the best time to enjoy the island, Lonely Planet highlighted prioritised experiences that any visitor to the island should try, especially in the southern part of the island.
