How to plan a trip around Phu Quoc island — north vs south?

A convenient itinerary: spend a few days in the north at Vinpearl — the safari park and amusement park are nearby with free hotel shuttles (or a taxi for 100–150 RUB). Then take a taxi south for around 1500 RUB. En route, the driver can stop at a pepper farm (local products and souvenirs) and a pearl farm — about an hour total, all on the way.

In the south, staying near Emerald Bay area is convenient — free transfers and tickets to the Sunset Town evening show and Kiss Bridge are included. The fishing village near the port is not worth visiting — it's a working-class local area, not tourist-oriented. A round-trip taxi there costs around 200 RUB.

Staying in the central area (around Duong Dong town) gives easy access to Khem Beach, the night market, and massage parlours. However, trips to the north take most of the day — essentially crossing the whole island. If you're not planning daily northern excursions, the location is quite practical.
