Tips

• Book flights and the e‑visa at least 2 weeks in advance to lock the lowest rates.
• Choose the Airbnb option if you prefer a kitchen – it saves ₹150‑₹200 per day on meals.
• Renting a scooter is far cheaper than a car (₹1,200 vs. ₹5,500 per day) and traffic is light; just wear helmets and keep the scooter locked.
• Carry a portable water filter; bottled water costs ₹30 per litre on the island.
• Most Jain restaurants accept BYO spices, but always confirm no hidden animal‑derived ingredients.
• For the boat tour, book a group package online (10‑15 % discount) and ask for a vegetarian lunch box.
• Use cash (₹) for small market purchases – many stalls don’t accept cards.
• Do: wear sunscreen, stay hydrated, respect local customs (remove shoes before entering temples).
• Don’t: feed the wildlife, litter on beaches, or rely on taxis without negotiating fare first.
• Hack: Download the “Phú Quốc Travel” app for real‑time ferry schedules and a coupon for 20 % off the cable‑car ticket.
