I'm so grateful to OnBird for their arrangements. It made my four-year-old son and I feel very safe and secure during our first snorkeling experience. They even arranged for Tom, a Chinese-speaking instructor, to accompany us. He held my son's hand the entire time and checked on us. If you're going snorkeling in Phu Quoc, definitely choose a professional team!
What is this tour like?
This is OnBird's private version: the whole speedboat for your group, going to Half-Moon Reef and Coral Mountain in the south. You are picked up in Dương Đông town and driven to An Thoi town, where the boat waits. The trip lasts five to six hours and the departure time follows OnBird's internal water-condition forecasts.
The unit here differs from OnBird's shared tours, and the difference matters. The shop window shows the same '/ group' label, but the price table is not linear: 5,900,000 VND for one guest, 6,500,000 for two, and so on up to 14,450,000 for twelve. The second guest adds 600,000, not another 5,900,000 — this is a boat price with a headcount grid, and the trip type on the page is stated as private charter. Included are safety procedures based on OnBird's forecasts, hotel pick-up and drop-off by air-conditioned transfer, the private speedboat, English-speaking snorkeling and diving instructors who guide participants in the water, high-quality sanitised gear including prescription masks, flotation devices and life jackets, cold water with an icebox on board, and fresh fruit and juice on a beach chair at the last stop. VAT, pick-up surcharges from outlying areas, a fuel surcharge of 300,000 VND per tour payable in cash to the guide for all private pick-ups and drop-offs, and a public-holiday surcharge are not included. The operator advises against participation for people with high blood pressure, heart conditions, epilepsy or severe asthma, for pregnant women and for guests over 65, and points families with children to its dedicated family snorkeling trip. Tours run all year, unaffected by the rainy season, per the operator. OnBird holds 5.0 on Google from 1,508 reviews as of 4 September 2026.

“Another beautiful scorching weather! Onwards to our main activity of the day, island hopping snorkeling trip! Booked our experience with OnBird. Found out that they are a very reputable agency that advocates sustainable, low-impact reef, marine life and scientific snorkeling experiences in Phu Quoc Island while prioritizing safety and small group sizes. Professional and responsive from start to end. We thoroughly enjoyed our little adventure. Thank you OnBird, big kudos to our guides, John, Dylan and Jason!”
“I went snorkeling with OnBird today - what a wonderful team, I had a great time. Everything is top notch, very professional. To point out details - clear communication, I was sent lists of what to pack, weather forecasts, lots of useful tips in advance. Pick up from the hotel - on time, good vehicle. English speaking guides (we were divided into groups where 1 guide took care of just 3 guests, great for beginner swimmers as they are constantly monitored and helped). BEST mask I ever snorkeled in. I was explained what sunscreen not to use to protect the coral, and part of the payment you make goes towards restoring the ecosystem. Trip ended up with a BBQ on a beach prepared by the team. PS: it was raining a bit - wasn't an issue at all, just as gorgeous.”
