Phu Quoc 7 Day Itinerary: The Full Island by Motorbike
By Alex Nguyen · Updated August 2026 · 6 min read
A Phu Quoc 7 day itinerary on a scooter is the most rewarding way to experience the island — you move at your own pace, reach beaches the tours skip, and swap resort shuttles for open jungle roads. This guide divides the week into south, central, and north zones, builds in rest days, and pairs every ride with a handpicked route so you never waste daylight.
Before You Go: Phu Quoc 7 Day Itinerary Bike Rental
Booking a scooter for the full week through GoBike Phu Quoc costs from $4 per day, with free 24/7 delivery to your hotel or Phu Quoc International Airport — no deposit required. A week-long rental means the bike is yours from day one, so you can ride whenever inspiration strikes without waiting for morning pick-up.
For a 7 day circuit, an automatic scooter such as the Honda Vision or Airblade suits most riders. If you prefer more power for the longer northern stretches, the Honda PCX or SH Mode is a solid upgrade. Check the full fleet on the bikes page before you decide.
Day 1 — Arrival and Long Beach Orientation
Your bike arrives at the airport or hotel. Spend your first afternoon on Long Beach (Bãi Trường) — the long western-facing strip that runs south from Duong Dong town. It is the ideal shakedown ride: flat, well-paved, and full of cafes where you can park and watch the sunset over the Gulf of Thailand.
Duong Dong town, just north of Long Beach, is worth an evening loop. Ride past Dinh Cau rock, cross the bridge over the river, and find a table at the night market for fresh seafood. This first day is intentionally relaxed — you are settling in, not ticking boxes.
Day 2 — Southern Highlights: Sao Beach and An Thoi
Day two heads south. Sao Beach (Bãi Sao) is the standout stop — powder-white sand, calm turquoise water, and a scattering of beach loungers under palm trees. The ride down from Duong Dong follows the main southern road and is straightforward even for first-time scooter riders on the island.
After Sao Beach, continue to An Thoi town and its harbour. This is where boat tours to the An Thoi archipelago depart — a cluster of small islands with clear water and coral reefs. You can walk the harbour, browse the market stalls, and look out over the islands. If you want to add a snorkelling tour, this is the place to arrange it. Ride back north in the late afternoon for another Long Beach sunset.
- Sao Beach — powder-white sand, calm swimming, best in the morning before day-trip crowds arrive.
- An Thoi harbour — base for island-hopping and snorkelling tours to the An Thoi archipelago.
- Ride tip — the southern road is well-paved and relaxed — a good confidence builder early in the week.
Day 3 — Rest Day or Pepper Farms and Ham Ninh
By day three, some riders welcome a slower morning. Use it for a short cultural loop to the east coast: Ham Ninh fishing village sits on a long wooden pier over shallow water, with local seafood sold straight off the boats. The ride across the island on smaller roads passes pepper plantations — Phu Quoc pepper is grown nowhere else in Vietnam and the farms welcome visitors.
This eastern loop takes about half a day, leaving the afternoon free for the hotel pool or a second swim at Sao Beach. If you feel energetic, push on to Suoi Tranh waterfall in the centre of the island before heading back.
Day 4 — Central Phu Quoc: Jungle Roads and Suoi Tranh
The central interior is where Phu Quoc feels least like a resort island. Narrow roads cut through national-park forest, the air is noticeably cooler, and you pass villages where scooters are the main transport. Suoi Tranh waterfall is the central anchor: a natural cascade surrounded by jungle, accessible via a short walk from the roadside.
The central zone also hides smaller beaches on the west coast — Ong Lang and Cua Can beaches are quieter alternatives to Long Beach, with fewer sun-beds and more open sand. Check our riding safety tips before heading into the forest roads; they can be narrow and shadier than the coastal highway.
Day 5 & 6 — The North: VinWonders, Vinpearl Safari, and Ganh Dau
The north of Phu Quoc rewards the longer ride. Grand World and VinWonders sit close together near the northwestern coast — an entertainment complex and a full theme park that share a parking area. Budget at least half a day if you plan to enter either. Vinpearl Safari, a short ride away, is Vietnam's largest open-air zoo and can fill most of an afternoon.
Reserve day six for the far north. The road to Ganh Dau cape is one of the most scenic on the island, with views back toward Cambodia. Starfish Beach (near Rach Vem fishing village) is a shallow bay where red sea stars rest in the sand — observe from the water's edge and do not lift them. Return south via the western coastal road for a long golden-hour ride.
- Grand World & VinWonders — adjacent in the north — combine both or pick one; theme-park rides, canals, evening shows.
- Vinpearl Safari — open-air wildlife park, best visited in the morning when animals are active.
- Ganh Dau cape — northernmost point, panoramic views, quiet and rarely crowded.
- Starfish Beach — shallow and calm; observe sea stars in the water, never remove them from their habitat.
Day 7 — Last Morning Ride and Airport Drop-Off
The final morning is yours. An early ride back to Long Beach for one last swim, a coconut coffee at a beachside cafe, or a loop through Duong Dong market for local snacks and pepper to take home — all reachable within minutes on a scooter.
GoBike will collect the bike from your hotel or drop you at Phu Quoc International Airport at no extra charge. Check our pricing page for weekly rates and any current promotions. Seven days on two wheels is the right length to see almost everything — and still want to come back.
Frequently asked questions
How many kilometres is a typical 7 day Phu Quoc motorbike itinerary?
A full 7 day circuit covering south, centre, and north typically totals roughly 200–300 km of riding spread across the week — very manageable on a scooter. Daily distances are short, so even new riders are comfortable.
Do I need an international driving permit to rent a scooter on Phu Quoc for a week?
Vietnam legally requires a valid driving licence for riding on public roads. Carry your licence and an international driving permit if your home country's licence is not in Vietnamese or English. Check current requirements before you travel as rules can change.
Is 7 days enough to see all of Phu Quoc by motorbike?
Yes — a 7 day itinerary is the ideal length to cover the south, central, and north zones without rushing. You will have time for beaches, fishing villages, national-park roads, and one or two rest days.
What scooter is best for a week-long Phu Quoc trip?
An automatic scooter such as the Honda Vision or Airblade handles all paved island roads comfortably and is easy to park anywhere. For longer northern rides, the Honda PCX offers slightly more stability at speed.
Can GoBike deliver the scooter to my hotel on day one and collect it on day seven?
Yes — GoBike offers free 24/7 delivery and collection anywhere on Phu Quoc, including the airport and all hotels. Book in advance so the bike is ready when you land.
