Suoi Tranh Waterfall

A large area with a natural garden with a river and waterfall. The waterfall is beautiful, but it is a very rocky path and with jungle. The greenish plants are awesome. Thus is one of the popular places must visit by nature lovers and young generation.
A lovely natural park about 9–10 km from Dương Đông town. The entrance ticket is only 30,000 VND, and the area is beautifully maintained with shady forest paths and peaceful surroundings. The stone trekking trail to the main waterfall takes about 15–20 minutes, passing mossy rocks, small streams, and wooden pavilions along the way. The waterfalls are refreshing and suitable for bathing, especially during the rainy season (May–September). Around the entrance, there are wooden-roofed traditional houses and impressive hand-carved furniture and sculptures that add a cultural touch to the park. Overall, Suối Tranh Waterfall is a perfect half-day getaway for anyone who loves nature, light trekking, and quiet green scenery away from the busy beaches.
A great spot to visit during or at the end of the rainy season (which typically lasts from May to October on Phu Quoc) if you’re looking to enjoy refreshing, cool freshwater. The waterfall itself isn’t as spectacular as some others in Southeast Asia, but it offers several pleasant spots where you can comfortably take a dip. The water is clear and refreshing, with plenty of fish swimming around. There’s also a restaurant and a few small attractions in a nicely landscaped park. For an entrance fee of 30,000 VND—including parking—it’s more than worth it. However, be aware: they charge the same entrance fee during the dry season, and you may end up walking all the way there only to find a completely dried-up riverbed.
Wow, I love nature, plants, flowers and trees. So I was just at the right place. Little hiking path with a waterfall. Really nice . They have some sort of bonsai’s but in much bigger pots ! They also have rest area with cantina selling water, beer and sodas. We hiked while it was about 30 degrees Celsius and it was humid as hell but loved it anyway.
At this time of the year, a really beautiful and strong waterfall. The hike up the stream is well maintained and no trash is laying around thanks to the many bin‘s along the way. The swim ag the top was lovely and refreshing! Parking lot available. The park and the garden are really beautiful, green and clean. Definitely worth a visit!!
Entry is well priced at 30,000d. Walk through gardens with animal statues and flowers. Gradual incline rock path to the waterfall. About 15-20 mins. Best to wear covered shoes. Gets more humid as you go further up into the foliage. Waterfall is small in comparison to others but a welcome cool relief after the walk. Toilets avail but be prepared with your own paper. Drinks and food for purchase on-site.
Accessible by the free Vinbus service (Bus route 20), it is around a 10mins short walk after alighting from the bus stop (KDL Suoi Tranh). Entrance fee is 30K per adult and 20K per child as of Oct 2025. The safari displays are eccentric yet traditional. The walk in to the waterfall is a gentle upward slope. Low to moderate level of fitness will get you there. A guide is not needed. Good sturdy footwear is recommended for the uneven stone pathway, although you’ll find tourists and foreigners wearing flip flops. Do mind your steps as the stone pathway is naturally covered with moss which can be quite slippery. Taking a dip to cool off in the stream after the walk is wonderful. Take note in the dry season there might not be much waterfall. There are many bins along the path so you can bring in snacks and drinks, including alcohol, and even have a picnic. Besides the drink shop onsite, there is a big clean toilet with basic shower facilities if you need.
Beautiful Park with a lot of artistic features. Animal meets nature meets culture. Then the waterfall was about 10 minute walk and it was so refreshing after a hot humid day around the park. I really recommend bringing your swim suit! November2025

This fishing village surprised me with its rustic charm. Walking along the long pier and tasting fresh crab is unforgettable. The sunset view is amazing. I’d tell my friends this is the best place for a glimpse of local life and seafood in Phu Quoc.
Hàm Ninh Fishing Town (Làng chài Hàm Ninh) was a bit of a letdown for us. There's really nothing special about it, and it feels more like a place for locals than tourists. The area was quite dirty, and we found it lacking in charm compared to other places on the island. If you're looking for a better experience, I’d recommend heading to the main night market, which offers much nicer things to try. Another downside here was how difficult it was to find a taxi back - be prepared for a bit of a struggle if you visit.
It's just local village. If you're hoping to walk on the long bridge, located on the coast, you will be disappointed because it's broken at the beginning. There is not much to see in general. The restaaurants on the water is fun attraction though.
We've been here a couple of weeks back after a long and wobbly ride towards the so-called Starfish beach. Forget about the beach, the people apparently are fishing them out the sea and dropping them on the sand to dry, a shame. But the people from this place seem to be honest about their fishing profession. The fish you order from the menu is freshly made and ready within 10-30 minutes. The price is not steep for the actual plate you are receiving. There's even an "Instagram" photo spot with a chair and a little tree. (If that's your cup of tea) The host was friendly and her husband was the cook and fisherman I think.
Original, rustic fishing village. Fresh seafood. Choose your own live prawns, lobsters, fish etc. Terrific young staff very helpful. Very good value too.
I found this village particularly dirty and the fish&seafood restaurants overpriced and not very pretty. However towards the end of our trip we found a decent place to eat, local food, which we really enjoyed. What was great about this place is that they served food early in the morning, so we could have some nice breakfast there. Sadly this place doesn’t have their eatery listed on Google, but I will add a picture of it.
It was okay to go and check out but you can tell that it is slack now and there was not much going on, so still worth going to see and plenty of fish options and seafood as well to choose from.
Visited this town on my 1st day arrival for late lunch at Hạnh Nhung Restaurant, 14 minutes drive from the airport , so many seafood restaurant here , price cater for tourist (we were 4 ladies , cost usd35 per person for fresh seafood lunch ) and not local Phu Quốc folks ! Even fruits we bought from the street vendor cost usd25 (Rambutan,Longan,Apple custard , mangosteen )
