Sunset Town Phu Quoc Tour: A Private Evening with Your Own Guide
A late start, a quiet pagoda above the east coast, the Kiss Bridge in the late light, the sunset from the waterfront beside it, dinner, and the big show over the sea at night. Your car waits for you at the end. Every ticket is paid before you travel.

No shop stops, in writing
No detour to a pearl farm or a showroom that pays to have you delivered

The evening, hour by hour
This is a sample day: add, skip or linger over any stop and we will adjust it. Times are for a mid-island hotel in the months when the sun sets around 17:45; your guide shifts them with the season, and hotels in the south are collected about 30 minutes later.
Hotel pickup · 15:00 or your time · anywhere in central or south Phu Quoc
Drive to the east coast · about 45 minutes from Duong Dong
Ho Quoc Pagoda
15:45 · about 40 minutes · on foot, with stairs
No entry fee on this stop

A hillside Zen monastery opened in 2012, so it is new rather than old, but the setting is the point: a yellow three-arched gate, orange-tiled halls, a mosaic dragon stairway, a giant white Quan Am and terraces over the sea. Your guide explains how Vietnamese Buddhists use a place like this, and why the island built it here. Cover shoulders and knees.
Short drive to the Kiss Bridge · about 20 minutes
The Kiss Bridge
16:30 · about 1 hour · on foot, no shade
Bridge ticket included
4 photos · tap to enlarge
Two curved walkways of about 400 metres each, designed by the Italian architect Marco Casamonti, stop about 30 cm apart above the water. The late afternoon is when it fills up and the middle often has a queue. Your guide walks you out ahead of it, shows you where to stand, and takes the photograph if you want one of the gap. Published schedules differ on when the bridge closes for the evening shows, from as early as 17:30 to as late as 19:00, so we come early. If it is still open and you want to stay for the sunset, you stay.
Sunset Town and the waterfront
17:30 · about 1 hour · on foot, some slopes and steps
No entry fee to walk the town
4 photos · tap to enlarge
The clock tower, the coloured Mediterranean-style streets, the Pompeii-style ruins and the marble fountain, walked while the light is low and the day’s heat is going, then the waterfront beside the bridge as the sun goes down, with both arms in view. All of it was built in the last few years, and your guide will say so. What you get is the shortest route through the best of it, without the long walks and dead ends.
Dinner in Sunset Town
18:30 · about 70 minutes · seated
Dinner and a soft drink included
1 photo · tap to enlarge
A set Vietnamese dinner with seafood, rice and greens at a restaurant in the town, ordered by your guide, with vegetarian dishes on request. Other drinks are yours to order.
Vui-Fest Bazaar
19:45 · about 45 minutes · on foot
No entry fee at the market

The night market, with food stalls, souvenirs and street performers. There is nothing you have to buy and we have no arrangement with any stall. Your guide can point out what is worth tasting if you still have room.
Kiss of the Sea show
21:00 · about 30 minutes · seated
Show ticket included
1 photo · tap to enlarge
The headline production of the town, on a stage out on the water: water screens, projection, lasers, fire, performers and a fireworks finish. It is theatrical, and not to everyone’s taste. Your guide sees you to your seats about 30 minutes before the start and meets you at the exit.
Back at your hotel · around 21:50 in the south · around 22:15 mid-island, with your car waiting while the crowd looks for taxis
One evening, one car, and a way home
No stops we did not tell you about, nothing to pay at any gate, and any part of it can be changed.

Is this the right tour for you?
A good fit if
You want the bridge, the sunset and the show at night without working out the timing.
You would rather not look for a taxi at 21:30 with everyone else.
You are a couple, a family or a small group and want the evening to bend around you.
You want one number that covers tickets, dinner and the car.
Look elsewhere if
You are one person on a tight budget. A taxi and two tickets are enough to see this town.
You came to Vietnam for old streets and local life. Sunset Town is new and built for visitors, and it does not pretend otherwise.
Long walks, slopes and stairs are a problem, or small children will not last until 22:00.
Sunset is the only reason you are coming and you are here in the rainy months, when cloud can hide it.
If you want the Hon Thom cable car, Sao Beach and Phu Quoc Prison as well, and an earlier night, the full day covers them and reaches the same bridge in the late afternoon. See the Hon Thom full-day tour. Or tell us what you want to see, and we will plan a day around it.
Questions before you book
About the day
How long is the tour and when does it start?
It runs About 7 hours 15 minutes door to door, departing 15:00 pickup, or your time from your hotel. Guests in the south are collected about 30 minutes later. We move the start with the season, because the sun sets around 17:40 in November and closer to 18:30 in July.
Where do you pick us up?
Anywhere in central or south Phu Quoc at no extra cost: Duong Dong, Long Beach, An Thoi, Sunset Town, Bai Khem and Bai Sao. Hotels in the north (Ong Lang, Cua Can, Ganh Dau and Bai Dai) are collected with a transfer surcharge added at checkout. Your guide waits 20 minutes in the lobby.
Will we see the sunset from the bridge?
Not always, so we do not promise it. Published schedules close the bridge for the evening shows from as early as 17:30 or as late as 19:00, and the sun sets between about 17:40 and 18:30. So you walk it from about 16:30 and watch the sunset from the waterfront beside it, and if the bridge is still open you can stay. The dry months from November to April give the best odds of a clear sky; from May to October cloud and showers are common. If the sun hides, the price stays the same.
How much walking is there?
More than people expect. The pagoda has exposed stairs, the town has slopes and steps, and each arm of the bridge is about 400 metres with no shade. Your guide can shorten any part of it, so tell us about bad knees or small children before you book.
Can we change the route or the pace?
Yes. This is a sample day and every part of it can be adjusted: add a stop, skip one, or spend longer on the bridge. Tell us before you book and we confirm the plan and an all-inclusive price in writing.
Does the guide speak good English?
Yes. Your guide is a licensed local who speaks fluent English and explains the customs and the story behind each place as you go.
Booking and practicalities
Is the price per person or for the whole group?
For the whole group. One private car, one guide and everyone’s tickets and dinner are in the total, for 1 to 4 guests. Children under 5 travel free and do not count towards the group size; from 5 a child counts as one guest. Five or more travel in a larger vehicle: message us for a quote.
How do I pay, and when?
Two ways: pay the full price online by card, or pay a 30% deposit online and the rest in cash on the day of the tour, in US dollars or Vietnamese dong. We can also send a secure payment link on WhatsApp. The booking is confirmed once the online payment goes through, and your pickup time and guide’s name arrive in writing.
Can I cancel or reschedule?
Yes - free cancellation up to 3 days before departure for a full refund, and free rescheduling subject to availability. Within 3 days of departure, 30% of the tour price is charged because the car and guide are already committed. Date changes are arranged over WhatsApp.
What should we bring?
Clothes that cover shoulders and knees for the pagoda, comfortable shoes, a hat and sun cream for the late afternoon. No cash is needed at any gate. Bring cash for your guide only if you chose to pay the balance on the day.
What about food allergies?
Tell us when you book. Vegetarian dishes are available and shellfish can be left out, and for a serious allergy your guide checks each dish with the kitchen.
What if it rains or the show is cancelled?
The show is on the water and can stop for wind, rain or maintenance. If it does, or if it is not playing on your date, we move you to Symphony of the Sea when that is running, or move your date free of charge, with no partial refund. Sources differ on Tuesdays: some say a shorter show without performers, others no show at all. If you book a Tuesday, we confirm the programme before you travel. A storm or an official weather warning means a new date or a full refund.
