Wonderful experience! - This is a must do when in Phu Quoc! The coral reefs are just breathtaking and the overall experience couldn't be better. Our two guides, Wave and Charlie were great, they picked us up at our hotel, then explained everything to us on the speedboat and in the water and pointed out specific corals and fish to us. They were so keen to help whenever someone had doubts or a question. We had a lot of time in the water to explore on our own too. In the end we enjoyed a drink and mango by the beach on a beautiful island.

Great Snorkeling Tour - Great snorkeling tour would highly recommend. They knew I wasn't a confident swimmer and were attentive to me at all times. Super friendly staff that made us feel really safe and were focused on protecting the ocean.

Please do this tour. Beter for you and the sealife. On bird takes care about both. - Great. First of all the service. This company cares about the coral. And second the really care about the customer. It is not only drop you of but show you everyting about how to snorkel and also about the coral. You feel safe and you feel the respect for the nature. Maybey it is not the cheapest. But this tour is in small group with 3 great guys who take care of everyting the whole tour. Never go by the cheap tours. Than you are with more than 50 people and they drop you somewhere and don t care about you or the live in the see.

Best snorkeling adventure! - The best snorkeling adventure you can do on Phu Quoc. It’s a very small group of max. 9 people. We got picked up from the middle east of the island. They wait for the perfect time of the day, so the visibility was about 8meters for us. The company is very economy friendly. Means, you only get cold bottled water on the speedboat. They don’t destroy the reefs by anchor a little far next to them. That’s a good point to choose OnBird! After we stoped at shallow water to test equipment and get introduced how snorkeling works, we drove to the first of two reefs. Visibility was around 6-7 meters I would say. Almost perfect conditions. Colorful coralls and fish. We thought it won’t get any better. After about 45min of snorkeling without any other tourist groups, we drove to the 2nd spot. No other boat in sight. Visibilty about 8-9meters. Again, so many different fish and corrals and crabs. No garbage. Just nature at it’s best. We had a little more than 40min snorkeling here. Then we drove to an island were we got free chairs, some fresh fruits and a fresh drink. (Coconut for us). Nice water and beach as well to enjoy for 1hour. Other than we experienced on Saona Island in the Dominican Repuplic, they don’t want to sell you something. They never asked us to get anything to drink or eat for money. They just came if you actively waved your hand to get something. That’s a big plus point here. Now to our tour guide. James was amazing. He’s funny and knows alot. He showed pictures to us on the bus before, what kind of different fish and corrals we can see and what they’re called. He explained the do’s and don’ts while snorkeling, to safe the reefs. All together, it was an amazing tour and I only can recommend it to everyone else! We will definitley do it again, if we ever come again to this island.

Great experience - There were nine of us on board, of different nationalities. After the detailed briefing, we went straight to our first snorkeling session. Leon and his guides always kept an eye on everyone. We would especially like to thank you for making the protection of corals your priority! Keep it up! Thank you very much for the lovely day Micha and Conny

These guys know how to do it! - This was an amazing experience. It was really easy to sign up and get information beforehand. They offered a pickup from our hotel and all equipment. Their tips and recommendations for how to prep were easy and straightforward. The guides were really friendly and informative (Lee and Leon), had great English and obviously cared about showing us a great time! The two reefs they took us to were stunning. I loved that they showed us the creatures and types of coral we'd see beforehand, and had a focus on sustainability. They took us to a relaxing beach for fruit and drinks and we caught a little nap before heading back. The speed boat rode was smooth and it was nice to see parts of the island I wouldn't have otherwise. Thank you for the incomparable experience! - Clio and Mohammed

Best snorkeling trip in Phu Quoc - This tour was amazing my husband and I had a great time and the guides were really friendly and knowledgeable. The snorkelling was very impressive there was a lot more variety than we were expecting and the corals were very healthy. We were very happy the company cares about keeping the corals healthy too by giving warning of what not to do and anchoring far from the corals

Great Experience - Hi OnBird Team, snorkeling was really great!😊The first mask for my wife was a little too big so it kept getting water inside, but your team managed to get her a smaller one which was way better then. Was a really great experience, thanks for offering this tour and keep going like this👍🏻 Everybody who wants a calmer and more informational snorkeling tour should consider this tour!

Beautiful coral reef visual delights in Phu Quoc - We stayed at JW Marriott Phu Quoc and heard about this tour operated by OnBird, through the Marriott website. The reviews on TripAdvisor sounded amazing and there's a good reason why - the tour is managed very professionally and the effort shows. Right from the day of booking the tour the OnBird team contacted us and stayed in touch all through the experience, giving us detailed tips to let us prepare for the tour. The guides were very knowledgeable and patient with people of all levels of experience. They divided us into subgroups based on experience level, which allowed each of us to enjoy the tour at our pace without feeling rushed or slowed down. The equipment was of good quality and the instructions were helpful - this was by far my smoothest snorkeling experience. The water was quite clear and we got to see a lot of beautiful coral reefs. This is the highlight of the tour; there's not much marine wildlife in this location but the reefs more than make up for that. After snorkeling for about an hour and a half or so, we got some time to change out of our wet suits and enjoy some light refreshments. A minor suggestion would be to shorten this part of the tour but that could be a personal preference. Overall we really enjoyed the experience.
