Idyllic Hon Gam Ghi Island in An Thoi, Phu Quoc
Hon Gam Ghi is a small island in the An Thoi archipelago, south of Phu Quoc’s main island. This island has a few lovely beaches and it is surrounded by coral. The rocky stacks just off its north-western shore appear in older guides as the “Flowerpot Islands”.
How To Get To Hon Gam Ghi Island
The only way to get to Hon Gam Ghi Island is by boat — about 30 minutes from An Thoi port. Almost everyone comes on an island-hopping or snorkelling tour, which usually stops here for about half an hour in the water. You can also charter a private boat from An Thoi port. Our An Thoi archipelago guide lists the best-reviewed boat and dive operators.
What To See:
- Hon Gam Ghi Beach – The beach here is very picturesque and you feel like you are truly in paradise. The sand here is a soft powdery white and the sea here is clean and turquoise in color. It is a small beach, and tour boats come and go through the day, so the quiet moments are early and late.
What To Do
-
Swimming – the water here is calm and clear and perfect for swimming.
-
Snorkeling Hon Gam Ghi Island– The reef around the island is shallow which makes it perfect for snorkeling. There are a few hard coral species here. In terms of marine life, you may be able to see small fish, sea worms, and a variety of shell fish. The snorkeling here is not as good as other islands in Phu Quoc.

Hon Gam Ghi in 2026: what reviewers say
Google rates Hon Gam Ghi 4.5 from 312 reviews (October 2026). Most snorkellers come away happy — clear, calm water, plenty of small fish, and some say it is the best coral they saw on Phu Quoc. Others found little live coral and wished they had more than the 30 minutes their tour allowed. Visibility depends a lot on the weather and the season; the calmest, clearest water is in the dry season, roughly November to April.
Some tours also offer an underwater “sea walk” here, with a helmet that lets non-swimmers walk on the seabed. The rocks around the island are sharp, so wear water shoes when you get in and out.
