Official sources for Phu Quoc

The People's Committee of Phu Quoc Special Zone publishes its news, notices and hotline information at phuquoc.angiang.gov.vn. The site is in Vietnamese. For travellers, the useful parts are the hotline section, the tourism section and the notices on strong wind and high seas posted before bad weather. Several notices are images, which a browser translation tool cannot read; the visitor feedback poster is printed in Vietnamese and English.

The portal's footer gives the People's Committee address as No. 4, 30/4 Street, quarter 2, Phu Quoc Special Zone. It is an administrative office, not a visitor centre, and it does not handle bookings or tour complaints in person; use the feedback lines on the health and emergencies page for those.

Phu Quoc National Park runs its own site at vqgpq.angiang.gov.vn. Its overview page says the park was set up by Prime Minister's Decision 91/2001/QĐ-TTg of 8 June 2001, covers 36,262 hectares (29,596 ha of special-use forest and 6,666 ha of protection forest) and records 1,397 plant species and 480 animal species. The same page still places the park in "Phu Quoc city, Kien Giang province". Sources differ on the area: the provincial tourism portal gives 31,422 ha, about 70% of the island. We quote the park's own figure and note the other.

The park lies inside the Kien Giang Biosphere Reserve. UNESCO's Man and the Biosphere page lists the reserve with a nomination year of 2006 and a total area of 1,188,106 ha; it is in English and is the place to check the reserve's zones.

Three ports matter to visitors. Fast boats and car ferries from Rach Gia and Ha Tien arrive at Bai Vong on the east coast. In the south, An Thoi port changed hands on 7 August 2026, when the right to operate it passed to Mặt Trời Hạ Long Co., Ltd. for two years after an auction, Tuổi Trẻ reported, with a berth for ships up to 3,000 DWT and a three-storey passenger terminal. Also in An Thoi is the international passenger port, which entered service in February 2024, according to Việt Nam News. Boats to the An Thoi islands leave from the An Thoi port area; in July 2026 VnEconomy found island canoes moored at the international port.

Sea traffic is supervised by the maritime port authority, whose site still carries the name Kien Giang Maritime Port Authority. Its pages are technical — port notices, tide tables, pilotage fees — but it is the body that announces when fast boats stop for bad weather, as on 20 November 2025, when north-east gusts of force 7–8 and waves of 1.5–2.5 m halted the crossings, Tuổi Trẻ reported.

Official portals are slow to update and mostly in Vietnamese. Use them for rules, notices and complaint routes, not for timetables, prices or availability: for a ferry departure the operator's own site is more current — see ferries and airlines. If a government page contradicts a newer notice from the same body, the newer notice wins.
