Vietnam tour overview
Why this trip
- A green day in the north of Phu Quoc, away from the beaches and the speedboats.
- At a bee farm in the forest you learn how wild bees are kept and taste fruit juice sweetened with forest honey.
- Then you paddle a round basket boat on the Cua Can river through the mangroves, with time to rest on the riverbank.
- Lunch is banh xeo, the crisp rice pancake, with forest herbs and spring rolls.
An honest note: the snacks at the bee farm, fried banana, chips and fried corn, are paid on the spot, and the visit ends at a shop selling honey, beeswax and honey tea. Nobody has to buy anything.

Frequently Asked Questions
Quick answers for planning this trip with Ava Travel.
Both run the same program. On the shared tour you join other travellers in the car; on the private tour the car and guide are for your group only. Choose in the booking box.
Yes. There is a seafood set with crab hotpot, clams, prawns, squid and fish, crab fried rice, grilled scallops and a drink. Ask us when you book and we add it.
Hotels in Duong Dong, Duong Bao, Ong Lang, Cua Can and the Vinpearl area are included. For An Thoi, Bai Sao, Ho Quoc, Ham Ninh and Bai Thom, ask us first, because a surcharge applies and the shared tour does not collect from some of them.
The group price is per person. The private price is the total for your party and the table on this page shows it for every group size. Prices are in US dollars and include taxes and service charges, and there is no booking fee or card surcharge, so the total at checkout is the total you pay.
Within one hour. We come back to you with the pickup time, the meeting point and your guide, and tell you what to bring.
More than 30 days before departure costs nothing. From 30 to 11 days we keep 15 per cent, from 10 to 7 days 30 per cent, and inside 7 days or a no-show is charged in full. Changing your date counts as a cancellation and a new booking. If we cancel, or weather makes the tour unsafe, we move your date at no cost or refund you in full.
