For a more remote island experience, consider a day trip to Cu Lao Xanh (Green Island). Located about 24km offshore, this beautiful island requires a longer boat journey (canoe or wooden boat) but rewards visitors with pristine beaches, exceptionally clear turquoise waters, and excellent opportunities for diving and snorkelling amongst healthy coral reefs.

Life on Cu Lao Xanh moves at a slower pace. You can explore the island, visit the lighthouse for panoramic views, interact with the local fishing community, and enjoy the untouched natural beauty. It's an ideal escape for those seeking adventure and a glimpse into Vietnam's island life further from the mainland.
