The best time to visit Phu Quoc is during the dry season, from November to March. This period offers the most pleasant weather, with sunny skies, mild temperatures averaging between 25°C to 30°C (77°F to 86°F), and lower humidity, making it ideal for beach activities, exploring the island’s natural beauty, and diving. The calm seas during these months make snorkeling and scuba diving particularly enjoyable, with clear visibility to witness the vibrant coral reefs and marine life.
While the rainy season (April to October) sees heavier rainfall, it’s still possible to enjoy your stay, especially if you prefer fewer crowds and discounted accommodation rates. The island's tropical monsoon climate means occasional downpours but with bursts of sunshine in between, providing opportunities to explore the island’s cultural and inland attractions. The shoulder months of April and October offer a blend of moderate crowds and decent weather, making them a good option for budget-conscious travelers.
