Phu Quoc National Park

Please note that the National Park doesn't allow tourists to enter alone without a tour guide for safety reasons. There are a few travel agents running the trekking tour. You can gg it. Of course you have to pay for the experience. National parks don't accept cheap tourists who drive scooters there and ask for the hike. Don't waste your time. Do some research before going there.

The park is closed and access is denied. There are several military checkpoints, no one could explain what is the exact reason for it. Further on the same road there is a restaurant with a wooden bridge where you could overcome the checkpoints, but I read many tourists got scammed and were forced to pay to cross it. Please don’t fall for it! I see many locals were able to hike in the park, so I am sure there is an alternative way in.

Nothing in North of Phu quoc. Very country side and not easy to find restaurants. But some of quite hotel and stay rooms in there. Too far from downtown...

The island is still 'under construction' so it is possible to enjoy some place lime this, wildlife, original culture, with no hurry and time to feel the place you arr visiting. Little bit dirt, but colors, noises and sight repay for all the rest (included humidity and hot...)

So we had a really BAD experience hiking in Phu Quoc National Forrest today we first stopped by the guide center at the entrance they want high prices for a short 1 hour hike we could easily do without a guide. so we drove to a trail up the road about 1km parked our scooter down the trail where no one could see it from the road... about 10 minutes in we passed 2 people with a guide the guide said we weren't aloud hiking in the national forrest without a guide ( you can) and she was visibly upset we were there so we waited a few minutes for them to get out of sight then we turned around and headed back towards our bike only to find it was GONE! So we walked two kilometers back to the National Forest Guide Center the guide we passed in the forest was there so we asked her if she seen our bike she said she saw it parked where we left it somehow within a 5-minute period someone pushed it up the road the other way 200 m into a ditch we have no way of proving she did it but she was the only one on the trail in that short time that would have even seen it setting there so if you want to hike in the National Forest definitely don't go to the guide service right there they aren't friendly only speak Vietnamese the couple we passed with her told us the trail they paid to do was terrible they tried to do it themselves but that guide told them they had to pay a guide! L.the woman guide didn't even have good hiking shoes and was wearing blue jeans! Not professional at all! use a different guide or just do it yourself and make sure your bike is locked securely!

This national park is difficult to access as roads are dreadful and some parts are at times used by the army. Therefore you'd best go with a local guide who can tell you about the local flora and fauna, who can advice you in the unfortunate event of snake or insect bite and who can make sure you see the best parts.

All the entries are closed for many months so most of the recent reviews are just one big lie. There is a significant lack of information regarding to this place. No available information in English, very unfriendly guards - each of them sends you to another entrance that the current one is restricted and closed. No information about why it's closed or when it will be opened. Online maps don't contain any trails neither interesting places inside of the park. When you circle around the park trying to find available entrance you see only construction in progress so you have a feeling that there will be no park anymore in few years. I am very dissapointed.

Lush jungle with dense vegetation and a wide variety of flora and fauna. Species can be found include monkeys and other primates, snakes, pythons, birds, sea eagles, and many orchid species. Great for hiking, camping as well as Jeep tours.
