2 Days on Vietnam's Most Popular Island - Phu Quoc

Southeast Asia travel
Nov 10, 2026

Phu Quoc is projecting over 8 million visitors this year, and after spending 2 days on this island, I completely understand why. I also understand why most of them are going to leave a little confused.
This is not the Vietnam anyone told me about. We rode the world's longest cable car over open ocean to reach a waterpark on a tropical island. We watched a nightly fireworks show built by the same production team behind the Olympics. We walked through a Mediterranean coastal town that was literally constructed from scratch on the southern tip of a Vietnamese island, and we found one of the top 50 beaches in the entire world that most people walk right past.

My honest answer on whether it's worth it? Both yes and no. You'll see exactly what I mean.
What we covered in 2 days:

The Hon Thom Cable Car (Guinness World Record, 8km over open ocean)
Aquatopia Water Park (Southeast Asia's modern water park)
Sunset Town (Vietnam's fake Italian coastal village)
Kiss of the Sea Show (the world's largest permanent water projection theater)
Symphony of the Sea (nightly fireworks show over the Gulf of Thailand)
Khem Beach (top 50 most beautiful beaches in the world)
