Starfish Beach Trip In Phu Quoc Island

Picked up in a 1960s Army Jeep laden with fruit , cashew nuts , spring rolls and Beer ! Took a short drive to the boat where we sped off across the bay to “ Starfish beach” a white sandy beach that in some areas looked like it was our own deserted island. Starfish beach is part of a protected area so has no buildings , elector lights and staying the night there is prohibited so by 6pm the place is completely deserted. We spent a couple of hrs snorkelling along side a fair amount of fish and countless Starfish…hence the name, then sat on the soft sand and enjoyed a few cold beers, de shelled some of the biggest Cashew nuts I have ever seen and devoured a huge tray of Watermelon, pineapple and that our Guide Wee Wee had spent the last 29 mins preparing for us. This along with some delicious Vietnamese prawn and pork spring rolls completed one of the nicest lunches we have enjoyed since arriving in Phu quoc. We jumped back on the boat at 2pm and headed home. Wee Wee was very easy to talk to , extremely knowledgeable on the subject of the island and Vietnam in general and his English was excellent. 10/10 for this trip , would highly recommend

A great tour with plenty of free time at Starfish Beach. After picking up from the hotel we went to the harbour of Starfish Beach and from there on a small boat to a perfect stretch of beach where you have 4 hours to look at the starfish, bathe and relax. Our guide Huy did an outstanding job, he explained a lot to us about the island of Phu Quoc and on the island he also had snacks, drinks and a small lunch ready, besides music and a lot of information, which he explained to us great.

Highly recommended! :) I joined this tour together with my parents, and we were absolutely thrilled. We were specifically looking for a non-guided experience away from mass tourism – and fortunately, we found this one. Our guide is a truly kind-hearted person with an incredible amount of energy. :) He entertained us wonderfully and served fresh fruit, nuts, and homemade spring rolls – plus chilled beer. Everything was fresh and delicious. The tour itself was definitely the right choice. It gave us a beautiful memory of Phu Quoc Island. We visited a secluded stretch of beach with an unbelievably idyllic view. With hardly any other tourists around, we were able to enjoy many relaxing hours by the sea. I can truly recommend it to everyone! :)

We had such a great experience at Starfish Beach. It ended up being just me and my partner on the tour, which made it feel super personal and relaxing. Our guide, Tong, was amazing — really friendly, knowledgeable and made the whole day fun. The beach was stunning and we got to see so many starfish up close. Definitely recommend!

We had the best experience on this tour. Tong was so incredibly wonderful and his English is perfect. I’ve never seen so many starfish in my life. 10/10 recommend!

Got picked up at the hotel in a proper old American jeep, it even had the original old radio in the back. There were just the two of us but the driver was very chatty and spoke very good English. After a while we turned onto a new road and then after around 5 miles turned onto a very bumpy track, that's why we were in a jeep the driver explained, no taxis will go up there. We pulled into a small carpark by a beach and a few jettys, then a short wait for a boat. A 10 minute trip and we were there, just our guide and us. He laid a blanket down and opened the cool box which had fruit and beers and pop inside. After a beer we entered the sea and our guide told us about the red starfish and showed us how to pick them up. Then he cut the fruit up and pointed ot Cambodia in the distance, he said we could stop there all afternoon if we wished. On the way back we went past a big army barracks and he told us 2yrs national service is still a requirement in Vietnam. He dropped us off back at the hotel and he was a really decent person so I tipped him 500,000 dong.

This trip was fabulous, our driver was called Tong and he made us very welcome and looked after us so well, he was very informative . starfish beach is just beautiful and we had a good few hrs there relaxing and chilling , not packed at all which was lovely
