6.PRO-SNORKELING to Explore Hidden Coral Reefs (MAX 10 PAX)

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 334 reviews · from $54

Spend five to six hours exploring two coral reefs in Phu Quoc’s An Thoi archipelago. OnBird supplies gear, flotation devices, instruction, hotel transfers, water, fruit, and English-speaking underwater instructors. The schedule changes with light and sea conditions, and the group is capped at 10 people.

“Spectacular! Very attentive and careful with the preparation of everything, from the masks to the way we move in the water. John, Colin and Hugo were exceptional in guiding and explaining. Now, nothing to do with the Enterprise and the guides, I found the beaches and the islands very dirty, we snorkeled almost always with plastic around. The amount of fish and some coral were dead, unfortunately. Of course, Onbird is not to blame, but it ends up getting a little sad because the experience gets "contaminated" with these details that we humans provoke.Auto-translated”
