You won't have to look for the motorbike taxis - they'll find you. For short runs,
20,000d should be sufficient. Otherwise, figure on around 50,000d for about 5km.
Motorbikes can be hired from most hotels and bungalows for around US$7 (semi-auto-
matic) to US$10 (automatic) per day.
Mai Linh ( 077-397 9797) is a reliable taxi firm; their drivers always use the meter. It
costs about 250,000d from Duong Dong to the dock at Vong Beach.
DON'T MISS
AN THOI ISLANDS
Just off the southern tip of Phu Quoc Island, these 15 islands and islets can be visited by chartered
boat. It's a fine area for sightseeing, fishing, swimming and snorkelling. Hon Thom (Pineapple Island)
is about 3km in length and is the largest in the group. Other islands include Hon Dua (Coconut Is-
land), Hon Roi (Lamp Island), Hon Vang (Echo Island), Hon May Rut (Cold Cloud Island), the Hon
Dams (Shadow Islands), Chan Qui (Yellow Tortoise) and Hon Mong Tay (Short Gun Island). As yet,
there is no real development on the islands, but expect some movement in the next few years.
Most boats depart from An Thoi on Phu Quoc, but you can make arrangements through hotels and
resorts on Long Beach. You can also inquire at the dive operators, as they have boats heading down
there regularly for diving. Boat trips are seasonal and generally do not run during the wet season.
