Phu Quoc is Vietnam's largest island and a destination in transition. It is located in the Gulf of Thailand about 120 km from Rach Gia in southern Vietnam. The island is shaped like a water drop and is 46 km from north to south. Its southern end is about 3 km wide and its northern end about 28 km.

 

Phu Quoc is called the island of "99 mountains" because of its many sandstone chains gradually descending from the north to the south. The longest one is Ham Ninh which stretches for 30 km

 

Phu Quoc Island has many harbors such as An Thoi and Hon Thom where international and domestic ships anchor. Also, there are several historical sites on the island: National Hero Nguyen Trung Truc's military base, Gia Long King relics from the time he spent on the island, and Phu Quoc Prison. Off the coast of the island emerges a group of 105 islands of all sizes. Some of them are densely inhabited such as Hon Tre and Kien Hai, 25km from Rach Gia. Visitors can spend time on the beach or hike while observing the wild animals.
