The Best Time to Visit Phu Quoc

When is the weather in Phu Quoc the most beautiful and which month should we start our trip has been a conundrum to a lot of people. Therefore, we are going to show you some information so that your trip to Phu Quoc island will be better than ever.

 

1. Which season to visit Phu Quoc?

The best time to visit Phu Quoc is from October to April. During this time, it's mostly sunny, perfect for traveling by boat from Rach Gia to Phu Quoc.

According to some learned experience, the number of tourists visiting Phu Quoc declines sharply during this season (they usually come in summer.) Therefore, you will be able to save money when it comes to flight tickets and hotels. Also the food is very cheap during this time.

 

2. The time when Phu Quoc is overridden with tourists.

There are only two seasons in Phu Quoc: dry season and rain season. Dry season is when Phu Quoc is overridden with tourists, if you're planning on staying in resorts in Phu Quoc, go ahead. However, if you're planning to stay in local hotels, wait.

It is not recommended that you visit Phu Quoc from April to October because it is rain season, sometimes even storms. During this time, the number of tourists declines sharply and the prices are cheap.

The best time to visit from from early April or late October, because this is in the transition period of the weather and it's totally safe for you.

 

3. The tours you should not miss
