How the two days work
Day one is the one-day Phu Quoc itinerary. Day two is in the north: the safari during the day (last entry 15:00) and Grand World towards evening. If the plan puts Grand World first, swap them with ≡.
Remove any stop with the cross or drag it with ≡, and add another one nearby — the times recalculate.
Vinpearl Safari
Vietnam's largest semi-wild zoo. Adults pay 950,000 VND; children under 100 cm are free. Open 9:00–16:00, last entry 15:00, safari bus 9:00–15:20. Allow 3–5 hours.
Is 2 days on Phu Quoc enough?
For the south and the north, yes. VinWonders, Vietnam's biggest theme park, is next to the safari and needs a whole day. Starfish Beach is also in the north.
How to do it right
- Get to the safari for the 9:00 opening.
- Grand World's show is at 20:15, 300,000 VND.
- Pagodas and temples want shoulders and knees covered; shoes come off at the door of the halls.
- Vietnam uses the dong (VND). Markets, pagodas and small cafés want cash; Grab is the easiest way to get a car or motorbike taxi.
- Children under 100 cm are free at the safari and VinWonders.
