Flocks of travelers from different parts of the world gathering there have made this island a top attractive destination for a beach escape. The average time to spend on Phu Quoc is around 1 week. It is roughly enough for you to explore the highlights of the island in a leisurely schedule. Down below is the ideal Phu Quoc 5 days 4 nights that Luxury Travel is happy to recommend.
Day 1 – Arrival in Phu Quoc – Start of Phu Quoc 5 days 4 nights
Morning pick-up from the airport or the harbor
Your 5 days Phu Quoc tour will start when you first arrive in Phu Quoc, either by plane or by boat. If coming directly from your hometown or big cities like Hanoi or Ho Chi Minh City, most people will choose to take a flight to the island because it is the most time-saving and easiest way.
In case you reach Phu Quoc Island from the Mekong Delta or the neighbor Cambodia and Thailand, you can consider going there by ferry boat. Another more luxurious option is to take a private yacht or cruise to get there.

The squids will then be cooked right away on the boat.
