This is not a guided tour and there is no end time. You arrive when you like, go to the beach when you like, eat when you like, and leave when you are ready. Some people come at 8am and are still here at 5pm. Nobody will tap their watch at you. Arrive any time between 8am and 4pm. No fixed departure, no group to wait for. Our own two-engine speedboat takes you to Starfish Beach, ten minutes across the bay. Stay as long as you want. You get a wristband with our number on it, and when you are ready we come and get you. Lunch or dinner is five seafood dishes from our own kitchen, plus a drink. The fish farm beside the walkway is where the seafood comes from. Afterwards it is up to you — snorkel under the house, fish off the pier, lie in a hammock. None of it is scheduled. Three generations of one fishing family live and work here. Our father and uncle still fish these waters. Nobody is playing a part.

    If you like pristine beaches this one is not for you

    An abismal combination of over-handled, dead & dying starfish & and obscene amount of rubbish left on the land by locals that have no idea the damage they are doing to their country. If this continues there will not be a country worth visiting. The selfie obsessed tourists were nothing compared to the incredible damage being done the environment.

    Response from the operator: Thank you for sharing your concerns. We’re sorry to hear that your experience at Starfish Beach was disappointing. We just wanted to clarify that this review appears to relate to the condition of Starfish Beach rather than our business or the services we provide. Although Starfish Beach is part of our Fishing Village Combo, the beach itself is a public location and is not operated or managed by us. We completely understand your concerns about litter and visitors handling the starfish, and we agree that protecting this beautiful environment is very important. If you did use our restaurant or our services and there was an issue with your experience, we would genuinely appreciate the opportunity to hear about it and address it. Otherwise, we kindly ask that you consider moving this review to the appropriate Starfish Beach listing, so that it reaches the people responsible for the beach.

    A Perfect Day at Phu Quoc’s Water Village

    I had a perfect day at the Water Village in Phu Quoc! They took us to Starfish Beach by small boat, and we could freely explore and play on the beach. Lunch was a fresh and abundant seafood feast, and the grilled fish was absolutely delicious! In the afternoon, we even tried fishing—it was such a fun experience. Definitely worth a visit!

    Starfish beach

    The transportation and getting there was a little bit confusing.But on arrival turned out to be a pretty good experience. We had lunch first you were able to see fish in low harbor and then we took a boat ride.Which is about ten minutes to starfish beach, great experience

    Great for 3-generation families

    Went with 2 seniors, a 6 year old and myself and it was the perfect day trip for them. It was just enough of a rustic adventure and yet not too intense, plus the flexible start and end time was great. The starfish beach was amazing with very soft sand and clear waters. The seafood lunch was super fresh. Also enjoyed relaxing on a hammock and trying out fishing at the pier. Guides were friendly and speak good English. Better go while you can because we were told that some developer might be taking over the land and clearing all these floating houses away. :(

    Starfish Beach and Floating Village Combo Boat Trip Seafood Lunch: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Phu Quoc.

    How much does Starfish Beach and Floating Village Combo Boat Trip Seafood Lunch cost?

    +

    Prices start at $38 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Phu Quoc usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

    How long does Starfish Beach and Floating Village Combo Boat Trip Seafood Lunch take?

    +

    Plan for about 5 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Phu Quoc is not rushed.

    Is Starfish Beach and Floating Village Combo Boat Trip Seafood Lunch worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 69 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.7/5 across 12 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Phu Quoc, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule Starfish Beach and Floating Village Combo Boat Trip Seafood Lunch?

    +

    Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.

    Is Starfish Beach and Floating Village Combo Boat Trip Seafood Lunch suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Starfish Beach and Floating Village Combo Boat Trip Seafood Lunch?

    +

    Around 4 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Phu Quoc can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.

    What should I bring or wear?

    +

    Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Phu Quoc and add a light layer if any part of the 5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Starfish Beach and Floating Village Combo Boat Trip Seafood Lunch start and how do I get there?

    +

    The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Phu Quoc within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.

    What are the best things to do in Phu Quoc?

    +

    On Outty we rank every Phu Quoc experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Full-Day Private Guided Tour in Phu Quoc Island with Hotel Pick Up, Land 4: Sightseeing to the South of Phu Quoc, Trekking Tien Son Dinh Phu Quoc. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.

    When is the best time to visit Phu Quoc?

    +

    Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.

    How many days do you need in Phu Quoc?

    +

    Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.

    Do I book through Outty or through the operator?

    +

    Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.

    What is included in Starfish Beach and Floating Village Combo Boat Trip Seafood Lunch?

    Included: Use of snorkeling equipment; Round-trip boat transfer to Starfish Beach (life jackets provided); Lunch; and Carbonated beverages. Not included: Private transportation; Any personal purchases, additional snacks, or other expenses beyond the itinerary are not; and Meals. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

    Where is the meeting point for Starfish Beach and Floating Village Combo Boat Trip Seafood Lunch?

    +
