The shopping scene in Phu Quoc combines outdoor adventure with local commerce, offering practical ways to experience Vietnamese culture while picking up unique items. I’m especially fond of the Kayaking and Bee Farm combination tour – it’s a smart way to blend shopping with activity, letting you sample fresh honey and paddle the scenic Cua Can River.
For serious shoppers, the 3-day Mekong Delta tours connecting to Ho Chi Minh City or Phnom Penh pack real value, featuring floating markets and local handicraft stops. These routes can be adjusted to include spots like Tra Su Forest or Cai Rang Market, and independent travelers can easily arrange their own versions.
