What the community said

For a first visit, add Phu Quoc’s aquarium; it is recommended as an easy self-guided stop alongside the safari park and VinWonders.

Core itinerary for a first visit: the Hon Thom cable car, the evening light show in Sunset Town, the show at Grand World, Vinpearl Safari park, and VinWonders amusement park — all easy to visit on your own without a guide.
