Phu Quoc 4-day Vietnam travel cost: low, mid and comfort budgets for 2026

A 4-day trip to Phu Quoc costs 3.2-4.4 million VND ($120-170) per person at the low end, 7-10.5 million VND ($270-400) in the middle, and 18-25 million VND ($700-950) for comfort, all excluding international flights. Every range below uses 26,200 VND = $1, checked February 2026.

### Vietnam travel cost per day on Phu Quoc

Phu Quoc has a reputation as Vietnam's priciest island, yet the low tier runs 800,000-1,100,000 VND a day and suits solo backpackers: a dorm bed at 150,000-300,000 VND, street pho or banh mi at 25,000-50,000 VND, and a motorbike at 150,000-250,000 VND a day. Mid-range travellers pay 1.8-2.6 million VND a day for a 3-star room at 900,000-1,800,000 VND, a mid restaurant dinner at 150,000-350,000 VND, and shared island-hopping tours at 500,000-900,000 VND. Comfort costs 4.5-6 million VND a day, which covers 4-5-star resorts at 2,500,000-6,000,000 VND a night, VinWonders at 950,000-1,000,000 VND, and private boats from 2,500,000 VND.

### Vietnam travel cost per person: what the totals exclude

The totals leave out international flights, the visa, travel insurance, shopping, alcohol-heavy nights, spa and diving, and tips. The e-visa is USD 25 single or USD 50 multiple for 90 days, three working days, applied only at evisa.xuatnhapcanh.gov.vn. Peak season shifts the maths further: mid-December to February and Tet (17 February 2026) add 30-80% to room rates.

These are indicative ranges, not quoted rates. Cable-car and theme-park prices change often and official pages rarely date-stamp them, so confirm 2026 rates and closure days before booking. Ferry schedules change seasonally, and the totals do not cover monsoon cancellations from May to October. Re-check the figures against live listings and stamp your table with the February 2026 check date.

A one-way flight from Ho Chi Minh City to Phu Quoc starts at 600,000 VND ($23), the lowest air fare to the island. Flights from Hanoi run 1,200,000-2,500,000 VND ($45-95) one way, so northern travellers pay roughly two to four times the southern fare. Book early for Tet on 17 February 2026 and the mid-December to February peak, when seats and rooms tighten.

Ferries from the Mekong Delta cost less if you are already on the mainland. Superdong and Hai Tac run the Ha Tien crossing for 230,000-350,000 VND and the Rach Gia crossing for 340,000-410,000 VND. Schedules change with the season, and monsoon sailings from May to October can be cancelled. Check departure times the week you travel rather than trusting an old timetable.

From the airport to Duong Dong, a Grab costs 150,000-250,000 VND; metered taxis charge more for the same run. In town, short hops by Grab or Xanh SM run 40,000-80,000 VND, and motorbike rental runs 150,000-250,000 VND per day with petrol at 21,000-23,000 VND per litre. On-island transport sits inside the daily tiers, and domestic flights and ferries to Phu Quoc are part of the four-day total. The total excludes international flights, the visa, insurance and shopping, so price those separately when you compare Vietnam travel cost per person across regions.

A dorm bed in Phu Quoc costs 150,000-300,000 VND ($6-12) a night; a 4-5-star resort costs 2,500,000-6,000,000 VND ($95-230). At 26,200 VND = $1 (February 2026), that spread is the largest single cost difference on the island. Food, motorbike rental and Grab hops vary much less.

Budget guesthouses run 400,000-800,000 VND ($15-30), and mid-range 3-star hotels run 900,000-1,800,000 VND ($35-70). For a 4-day trip with three nights, a dorm totals 450,000-900,000 VND. A guesthouse private room costs about double a dorm bed. A 3-star room costs a little more than double a guesthouse room. The resort tier starts at 2,500,000 VND.

Peak season changes the numbers more than an upgrade. From mid-December to February, and around Tet on 17 February 2026, rates rise roughly 30-80%. A 900,000 VND 3-star room can reach 1,620,000 VND at the top of that range. A 2,500,000 VND resort room can reach 4,500,000 VND. Shifting your dates can save 30-80% on the same room.

For a 4-day trip, keep one base, either Duong Dong or elsewhere on the island, because moving hotels adds Grab fares of 40,000-80,000 VND per short hop. Ask two questions before booking: does the nightly rate include breakfast, and is airport pickup included or charged separately? A Grab from the airport to Duong Dong is 150,000-250,000 VND. This section uses rates checked in February 2026.

A bowl of pho or a banh mi from a street stall on Phu Quoc costs 25,000-50,000 VND, and a local rice plate runs 40,000-70,000 VND. At the February 2026 rate of 26,200 VND to $1, that is $1-2 per meal. Street meals are the main reason the low tier stays at 800,000-1,100,000 VND per day. Three pho or banh mi meals in a day cost up to 150,000 VND if each is 50,000 VND; rice plates push the total higher. That leaves room for a dorm bed, a motorbike at 150,000-250,000 VND per day, and petrol at 21,000-23,000 VND per litre.

Once you sit down in a mid-range restaurant, a meal costs 150,000-350,000 VND per person, roughly three to seven times a street plate. Dinh Cau night market sits at the top of the food ladder, with seafood at 200,000-500,000 VND per person depending on what you order; a 500,000 VND seafood dinner costs more than three days of street meals at 150,000 VND a day. Beer is 15,000-25,000 VND and coffee is 25,000-60,000 VND, so drinks add little to the low tier but are small against a mid or comfort day.

Street meals, coffee and beer keep the low budget arithmetic working. Seafood nights and restaurant dinners push mid and comfort totals toward 1,800,000-2,600,000 VND and 4,500,000-6,000,000 VND per day. The four-day totals of 3,200,000-4,400,000 VND (low), 7,000,000-10,500,000 VND (mid), and 18,000,000-25,000,000 VND (comfort) exclude alcohol-heavy nights, so a run of cocktails or wine with dinner sits outside the numbers and needs a separate budget.

Street stalls and night-market vendors change prices with season and location. Treat the ranges as planning inputs and confirm at the counter. This section uses February 2026 checks and gives indicative ranges, not fixed menu prices.

Hon Thom cable car tickets cost about 600,000 VND round trip. VinWonders runs about 950,000-1,000,000 VND, and Vinpearl Safari about 650,000 VND. Group island-hopping and snorkel tours cost 500,000-900,000 VND, and a private boat starts from 2,500,000 VND.

The cable car plus one theme park day costs 1,550,000-1,600,000 VND per person. On the low tier of 800,000-1,100,000 VND per day, that is more than a full day's spending. Adding both to a four-day low total of 3,200,000-4,400,000 VND pushes the total to 4,750,000-6,000,000 VND, above the low range but below the 7,000,000-10,500,000 VND mid range. A group tour at 500,000-900,000 VND is the cheapest way to add a boat day; the private boat from 2,500,000 VND costs about as much as the cheapest comfort-tier hotel night.

Cable car and theme park prices change often and official pages rarely list dates. Treat every figure here as indicative, checked in February 2026, and confirm current 2026 rates and closure days before booking. Island-hopping departures depend on weather, and the May to October monsoon can cancel them.

Connectivity has its own cost. A tourist SIM costs 150,000-250,000 VND, or $5-10 for an eSIM installed before you fly. ATM withdrawal fees run 50,000-70,000 VND. Budget these separately because the four-day totals exclude international flights, the visa, insurance, shopping, alcohol-heavy nights, spa and diving, and tips. They include domestic flights and ferries to the island, on-island transport, accommodation, food and the activities you choose.

On Phu Quoc, vietnam travel cost per day splits into three workable tiers: 800,000-1,100,000 VND for low, 1.8-2.6 million VND for mid, and 4.5-6 million VND for comfort. Four days on the island therefore runs 3.2-4.4 million VND ($120-170), 7-10.5 million VND ($270-400), or 18-25 million VND ($700-950) per person. At 26,200 VND to $1 (February 2026), the gap between the cheapest and most expensive trip is about eight times.

Low-tier travellers sleep in dorms at 150,000-300,000 VND or budget guesthouses at 400,000-800,000 VND a night, eat street pho and banh mi at 25,000-50,000 VND, and get around by motorbike at 150,000-250,000 VND a day with petrol at 21,000-23,000 VND a litre, or Grab short hops at 40,000-80,000 VND. Beer costs 15,000-25,000 VND. The trade-off is skipping the big tickets: Hon Thom cable car about 600,000 VND round trip, VinWonders 950,000-1,000,000 VND, Vinpearl Safari about 650,000 VND.

Mid sits at a 3-star hotel of 900,000-1,800,000 VND, local meals mixed with mid restaurants at 150,000-350,000 VND, and Grab rides plus one group island-hopping or snorkel tour at 500,000-900,000 VND. This is the tier most couples land on. Comfort moves to a 4-5-star resort at 2,500,000-6,000,000 VND, Dinh Cau night-market seafood at 200,000-500,000 VND, and private transfers with a private boat from 2,500,000 VND.

None of these totals include international flights, visa fees (the 90-day e-visa is USD 25 single or USD 50 multiple, three working days, applied only at evisa.xuatnhapcanh.gov.vn), travel insurance or shopping. Peak season from mid-December to February and Tet (17 February 2026) adds 30-80% to accommodation. Cable-car and theme-park prices change often, so confirm 2026 rates and any closure days before booking. Figures were checked in February 2026.

The totals in this Vietnam travel cost breakdown for Phu Quoc exclude international flights, travel insurance, the visa fee, alcohol-heavy nights, spa and diving, and tips. Add these separately when you budget. The visa fee alone is USD 25 for a single-entry 90-day e-visa or USD 50 for multiple entry, applied at evisa.xuatnhapcanh.gov.vn with a 3-working-day processing time. That is a real cost you must add on top of the 3.2-4.4 million VND ($120-170) low-end total.

Before you book, confirm the 2026 rates and closure days for the big-ticket extras. The Hon Thom cable car runs about 600,000 VND round trip; VinWonders tickets are 950,000-1,000,000 VND; Vinpearl Safari is about 650,000 VND. Official pages rarely date-stamp these prices, and they change often. Check the official sites directly, not third-party resellers, and look for any seasonal closures. If a closure day falls on your visit, you need a backup plan.

Grab and Xanh SM short hops cost 40,000-80,000 VND, but forum threads flag Grab scarcity at night on parts of the island. Test the app after dark where you are staying, or ask your accommodation about local taxis. Xanh SM is an alternative, but coverage also varies. Ferry schedules from Ha Tien (230,000-350,000 VND) and Rach Gia (340,000-410,000 VND) change with the season, and monsoon from May to October can cause cancellations. Read the ticket terms for rebooking or refunds before you pay.

All prices in this plan were checked February 2026 at an FX rate of 26,200 VND = $1. The FX rate of 26,200 VND = $1 was the spot rate in February 2026; exchange rates move. Re-check live listings for your travel dates before booking, since peak periods from mid-December to February and Tet (17 February 2026) add 30-80% to accommodation. Confirm the current e-visa rules and any Phu Quoc visa exemption status directly on the official government site.
