From wonderful natural conditions & sustainable tourism…
Phu Quoc is the biggest island in Vietnam, belonging to the Kien Giang province and located to the southwest of the nation.
The humid tropical monsoon climate prevails on Phu Quoc. However, due to its unique location in the Gulf of Thailand, it is less prone to natural disasters. While Danang, Nha Trang, which all rely on marine tourism, must deal with the consequences of storms and flooding in the rainy season, the weather in Phu Quoc on the other hand is one of nature’s gifts to adventure tourism. From November through April of the following year, the weather on Phu Quoc is calm and pleasant especially in the Southern parts of the Island and the An Thoi archipelago.
But what if you want to make a change to the schedule and explore Phu Quoc in the middle of the year? The weather might not be the best to expect but PhuQuoc-Sandbox believes you can check the weather during the year with us.
Phu Quoc also possesses an essential resource in the form of tropical forests due to its location and climatic circumstances. Travelers may spend their time relaxing on the gorgeous Phu Quoc beach or immersing in the sunset of the Southern islands. It’s usually a nice time to go to Phu Quoc towards the end of the year for many soft-adventure enthusiasts.
As the back-to-nature trend has been developing and spreading recently, Phu Quoc and its hospitality products have focused on delivering sustainable tourism to international guests.
Thus, you might have to sit at home in the crowded city for a really long time due to the pandemic. The thirst for exploring nature must be the reason you are looking for a relaxing night at a stunning beach holiday or a snorkeling tour and explore the half-moon-reef coral as soon as possible. The soft adventurous activities in Phu Quoc Sandbox should be the best fit for your first return-to-nature trips rather than any of the advanced levels of exploring.
