You only pay for specific rides and attractions, which Wigo Tourist can help you book in advance.

Wigo Tourist’s Top 3 Paid Attractions You Can’t-Miss

While wandering is fun, these are the ticketed experiences that make your visit unforgettable.

1. Ride a Gondola on the “Venice River”

This is the iconic Grand World Phu Quoc experience. A 400-meter-long canal, modeled after Venice, Italy, runs through the heart of the complex. You can take a classic gondola ride along this “Lake of Love,” floating under charming bridges as you admire the colorful, romantic buildings on either side.

Wigo Tourist Tip: This is the ultimate sunset activity. As your local guides, we highly recommend booking your gondola ride for the late afternoon. The lighting is magical, and you’ll often be serenaded by opera singers. Wigo Tourist can help you pre-book your slot!

2. See “The Quintessence of Vietnam” Show

This is, without a doubt, one of the most spectacular cultural shows in all of Vietnam. It is not to be missed.

Held in a massive 11,200-square-meter stadium designed to look like an ancient citadel, this show uses over 300 dancers and actors to recreate the vibrant life of old Vietnam. It’s an incredible display of history, dance, and modern performance technology.

Daytime vs. Nighttime: During the day, there are 2,920 “mini-shows” that are free to watch.

The Main Event: The main nighttime performance is the one you must see. It’s a ticketed event (approx. 300,000 VND) and worth every penny.

3. Visit the Teddy Bear Museum

Perfect for families and the young at heart! This 2,162-square-meter museum is housed in a unique, giant donut-shaped building.

Inside, it tells the story of “Teddy Jones” (an explorer bear inspired by Indiana Jones) as he travels the world. It features 5 distinct zones filled with adorable teddy bears of all shapes and sizes, offering countless fun photo ops.
