# Vinpearl Safari Phu Quoc

> Vinpearl Safari is Vietnam's largest open-range zoo, in the north of Phu Quoc: a bus takes you through enclosures where tigers, rhinos and giraffes roam freely, then you explore the open zoo on foot. A standard adult ticket is 950,000 VND, and children under 100 cm go free. It's open daily 9:00–16:00, with last entry at 15:00. Allow 3–5 hours; it's 35–45 minutes by Grab from Duong Dong.

## How much are Vinpearl Safari tickets?

A standard **adult ticket costs 950,000 VND** (140 cm and taller) in the official VinWonders online shop. **Children under 100 cm go free.** Children 100–140 cm and visitors aged 60+ pay less — 710,000 VND in VinWonders' late-2025 price table. Bring your passport if you're claiming the senior rate.

Promotions come and go: in the first half of 2026 VinWonders sold tickets at 850,000 and 650,000 VND. The best value is usually the **combo with VinWonders Phu Quoc** next door — 1,700,000 VND per adult and 1,300,000 VND for children and seniors, against 2,000,000 VND for two separate tickets. Your ticket covers the safari bus, the walking zoo and the daytime shows. Tickets are non-refundable and can't be changed.

Buy on the VinWonders website with a date, or at the booths at the gate. Online payment takes foreign Visa and Mastercard; the booths take cash in dong.

> **Arrive early — no entry after 15:00** The park is open 9:00–16:00, but the safari zone stops admitting visitors at 15:00 and the last bus leaves at 15:20. The bus ride plus the walking zoo take 3–5 hours, so aim to reach the gate by 9:00–10:00. An afternoon visit only makes sense if you're happy to skip part of the zoo.

## What is Vinpearl Safari?

**Vinpearl Safari Phu Quoc** is an open-range zoo set in forest in the far north of Phu Quoc, near Bai Dai beach. The motto is "people in cages, animals roaming free": in the main zone the animals have large open areas, while visitors ride through in a bus with bars and thick glass. It's the biggest park of its kind in Vietnam, run by Vinpearl — the same group behind the VinWonders theme park and Grand World next door.

Counts vary: VinWonders talks of thousands of animals from more than 150 species, while travel guides put it at over 4,000 animals and about 200 species. The area is 380 ha by one account and more than 500 ha by another. Either way, this isn't a small city zoo — it's a full morning, and you can't see everything on foot.

## What to see

- **The bus safari** — about 30 minutes past Bengal tigers, lions, white rhinos, zebras, giraffes and antelopes, sometimes just metres from the window. Buses run 9:00–15:20.
- **The open zoo** — walking paths past spacious enclosures with white lions, lemurs, gibbons, mandrills, chimpanzees, oryx and bongo antelopes.
- **The bird park** — over 2,000 birds, including flamingos, crowned cranes, ibises and macaws. Best in the morning at feeding time.
- **Reptiles** — more than 20 species, from crocodiles and monitor lizards to chameleons and iguanas.
- **The children's zoo** — goats, rabbits and other tame animals to pet and feed.
- **Animal shows** — according to VinWonders, a morning show 10:00–10:30 daily and an afternoon show 14:00–14:30 on weekdays. Times change, so check the board at the gate.
- **Giraffe feeding** from a restaurant terrace — carrots are sold separately (unofficial).
- **Night safari** — a separate ticket on selected evenings only.

## How to get to Vinpearl Safari

1. **From Dinh Cau Shrine and the night market in Duong Dong** it's about 25 km north by road — 35–45 minutes by Grab or taxi. Search for "Vinpearl Safari". Grab shows the fare upfront; unofficially it's 200,000–350,000 VND.
2. **From Phu Quoc International Airport (PQC)** it's 45–60 minutes by taxi (unofficial) — handy if you're staying in the north.
3. **If you're staying at Grand World or a Vinpearl hotel in the north**, take the free VinBus, which links the hotels, Grand World, VinWonders and the safari. Show your ticket's QR code when boarding; times are in the VinBus app, and it's worth reaching the stop 10–15 minutes early.
4. **By rented scooter** it's the same 35–45 minutes on paved roads, with parking at the gate (unofficial).
5. At the gate, show your ticket — printed or as a QR code. Do the bus safari first, while the animals are active, then walk the zoo.
6. Grab cars are scarcer in the north than in Duong Dong, so book your ride back 15–20 minutes before you leave. [Grand World](https://yesgo.io/vietnam/phu-quoc/grand-world-phu-quoc) is about 6 km away.

## Bus safari or walking zoo?

|  | Safari zone | Open zoo |
| --- | --- | --- |
| How you see it | From the bus — no getting off | On foot along paths |
| Animals | Tigers, lions, rhinos, zebras, giraffes | Primates, white lions, lemurs, birds, reptiles |
| Time needed | About 30 minutes | 2–3 hours |
| Hours | Buses 9:00–15:20 | 9:00–16:00 |
| Included in the ticket | Yes | Yes |

One ticket covers both. Do the bus in the morning — by midday the animals retreat into the shade.

## How long do you need, and when should you go?

Allow **3–5 hours**: half an hour on the bus, 2–3 hours in the walking zoo with a show, plus lunch. With a VinWonders combo, start at the safari at 9:00 and move on to the theme park after lunch — it stays open into the evening.

The best time is **9:00–11:00**, when it's cooler, the animals are livelier and the birds are being fed. Midday is hot with little shade on the paths, and in the rainy season, roughly May to October, afternoon downpours are common — pack a rain jacket. Weekends and Vietnamese holidays are noticeably busier.

## Is Vinpearl Safari worth it?

Yes, especially with kids. Seeing tigers and rhinos a few metres from the bus window is the highlight, and the children's zoo and shows fill a whole morning. It's the island's best option for a day off the beach.

The YesGo take: the ticket isn't cheap and the park is a long way from Duong Dong, so commit to a full morning rather than a quick look. If animal shows aren't your thing, simply skip them — the bus ride and the enclosures are worth it on their own. If you're based in the south of the island, the round trip takes about an hour and a half, so a VinWonders combo saves you a second journey.

## Before you go: checklist

- [ ] Ticket for the right date — online or cash for the booth
- [ ] Leaving early enough to reach the gate by 9:00–10:00
- [ ] Passport — for the 60+ rate and combo FaceID
- [ ] Water, hat and sunscreen; a rain jacket in the wet season
- [ ] Comfortable shoes — you'll walk several kilometres
- [ ] Ride back booked 15–20 minutes before leaving

## Northern Phu Quoc in one day

Safari in the morning while the animals are active, VinWonders after lunch on a combo ticket, then the canals and shows of Grand World in the evening. Add them to your route — YesGo fits in the timing and transfers.

## Good to know

Vinpearl Safari is only on Phu Quoc — Vinpearl has no safari in Nha Trang, where VinWonders on Hon Tre island has a small zoo instead. And it's not an African-style game drive: the animals live in the park and you ride past in a closed bus.

## Tips

- Press your phone against the bus window to cut reflections — animals appear on both sides.
- Bus first, walking zoo second: tigers and rhinos are most active in the morning, and the enclosures are fine in the heat.
- Eat early, around 11:30 — the park's restaurants fill up by noon.
- Carry water: there are cafés, but the walks between zones are long.
- A combo with [VinWonders](https://yesgo.io/vietnam/phu-quoc/vinwonders-phu-quoc) beats two separate tickets if you planned to visit the theme park anyway.

## How we checked

Prices and hours are from the official VinWonders website. The 950,000 VND standard adult ticket appears in the VinWonders shop on 08.11.2026 and in VinWonders' price table of 17.12.2025; the ticket page of 27.03.2026 shows promotional 850,000 / 650,000 VND for bookings between 07.01 and 30.06.2026, so we give those as an example of a promotion. The 710,000 VND rate for children 100–140 cm and seniors 60+ comes from the 2025 table and VietnamSpot (10.2026); the current shop doesn't show it, so it's marked unofficial. The VinWonders combo is 1,700,000 / 1,300,000 VND per VinWonders' price tables (12.2025); in spring 2026 the ticket page showed a promotional 1,500,000 VND. Hours: the ticket page says 9:00–16:00 with no entry after 15:00; a VinWonders article gives 8:30–16:00 overall and buses 9:00–15:20; guides say 9:00–16:00; we use 9:00–16:00. Shows: VinWonders gives 10:00–10:30 daily and 14:00–14:30 on weekdays, VietnamSpot 10:00 and 14:00 except Tuesday and Wednesday; we give the official times and advise checking at the gate. Animal and species counts, the area (380 or 500+ ha) and the opening year differ between sources, so we show both figures and no year. Grab fares, airport travel time, giraffe carrots and parking are unofficial. Distances are from OpenStreetMap and an OSRM route.
