Hike to Tien Son Peak - A Hidden Gem in Phu Quoc
Uncover One of Phu Quoc Island’s Most Scenic and Underrated Treks
Located in the heart of Phu Quoc Island, the trail to Đỉnh Tiên Sơn Peak offers a rewarding jungle adventure for those seeking serenity and breathtaking vistas. Although this trail is relatively easy to access, it remains a lesser-known attraction, making it ideal for travelers wanting to escape the crowds.
This jungle hike is pristine, quiet, and invigorating. Expect stunning panoramic views, lush greenery, and fresh air all around. Be sure to bring enough water and snacks — a picnic at the summit is a great idea. The trail is best explored during the dry season (November to May). Avoid trekking after heavy rain, as the path can become dangerously slippery. For the safest and most scenic experience, set off early in the morning or late in the afternoon. The entire round trip takes about 1 to 3 hours, depending on your pace and rest stops.
Starting the Journey to Đỉnh Tiên Sơn
Your adventure begins at Cafe Tiên Sơn Đỉnh, located along the road leading to the Hàm Ninh fishing village. You can arrive by taxi or motorbike and leave your vehicle at the café. There's no entrance fee or need for a guide, but it's courteous to buy a drink to support the café owners.
Pass by the café on the right, continue through the backyard and across a grassy field with a small family cemetery to your left. Soon, the real trail starts — a dirt path leading into the thick jungle. It's well-marked and easy to follow all the way to the top.
A Steep Jungle Climb Through Tropical Forest
The forest cover is dense and teeming with tropical life — towering trees, vines, and creepers form a canopy overhead. The path is steep and rocky, so caution is advised, especially in wet conditions. About 10–15 minutes in, you’ll reach a majestic banyan tree on your left. Its giant roots sprawl over a boulder, creating a natural jungle gym perfect for climbing and swinging from vines.

Beyond the banyan, the terrain becomes steeper. Makeshift wooden ladders help you navigate rugged sections. The air is quiet except for the occasional hum of cicadas and rustling leaves. Near the top, you’ll face a vertical rockface, which you’ll climb via a rustic wooden staircase. This part requires caution and a steady step.
Reaching the Summit of Đỉnh Tiên Sơn
As you approach the peak, the trail winds through the dense forest and eventually opens onto a wide boulder bathed in sunlight — this is Đỉnh Tiên Sơn, also known as ‘Fairy Mountain Peak’. A simple stone marker adorned with flowers and incense marks the summit.
The view here is incredible. To the south, you can see Phu Quoc Airport, the hills stretching toward An Thới, and the sea shimmering all around. Other boulders nearby can be climbed for different viewpoints. This is the perfect spot to enjoy your picnic before heading back down.
With its unspoiled nature and tranquil atmosphere, Đỉnh Tiên Sơn remains one of Phu Quoc’s hidden hiking treasures.
