Mong Tay Island

Mong Tay island located in Duong Hoa Commune, Kien Luong District, off the coast of Kien Giang Province, in south of Phu Quoc Island. It is located between the archipelago of Ba Lua and the Hai Tac Islands, but the island of Mong Tay is not belong to any archipelago. The island is hidden away with shipping lines, so few ships pass through, even without human intervention, they are compared to “Robinson’s Island” of Kien Giang.

Also, when you come here, you also hear about “the legend” of a person like Robinson. That is the story of “god of island” named An, who has been on this deserted island for 13 years. He was blind, but he was very good at swimming and was capable of fasting for many days.

Due to the lack of human intervention, almost all the original beauty of the Mong Tay Island has remained intact until now.

You can take a speed boat from An Thoi port to Mong Tay island for about 30 minutes. This is a beautiful picture that nature gives people with green coconut trees up vertical along the coast, white sand stretching in the sun. The water here is so green that you can see the vibranting coral reef below, its shapes and colors.

In the pristine setting, the sound of the waves and the winds make you feel completely in harmony with nature, escaping from the chaos of everyday life.

When coming to Mong Tay Island, do not forget to enjoy the “special” here, which is beautiful coral with shimmering color eye catching, surrounded by swimming small sea fish.

The coral reefs are relatively shallow, so enjoy the scuba experience watching them without worrying about the high diving requirements. It is known that the coral ecosystem here is ranked the most in Vietnam in terms of abundance, along with various types of sea anemones.

For those who like photography, Mong Tay Island is the paradise of beautiful pictures with blue sea and white sandy background. You can get up early to take beautiful photos of the dawn or a wonderful moment at sunset.
