Spanning over 31,000 hectares across six communes, Phu Quoc National Park is a treasure trove featuring three distinct ecosystems: evergreen broadleaf forests, melaleuca forests, and coastal mangroves. The park is home to approximately 1,400 plant species and nearly 500 animal species.

Nguyen Thanh Binh, born in 1988 and a Phu Quoc native with a passion for forest tourism, has been organizing trekking and camping tours within the park. He offers four trekking routes, with the longest covering a 9-kilometer journey, typically scheduled on weekends. Binh shared that forest trekking in Phu Quoc is a new experience, emerging in the last two years, and remains a hidden gem for many visitors.

“When people think of Phu Quoc, they picture beach tourism, often overlooking the experiences the forest has to offer”, Bình remarked.
