1. Where is Phu Quoc Neptune Palace?

Phu Quoc Neptune Palace (also known as Kim Quy Aquarium or The Sea Shell) officially opened in 2022 and has been continuously upgraded by VinWonders, gradually becoming one of the prominent tourism symbols of Phu Quoc by 2026. The structure was designed by two of the world's leading architectural firms, Legacy GGE (USA) and AAT (Australia), inspired by the legend of the mythical city of Atlantis beneath the ocean floor, bringing a vivid and artistic ocean exploration experience.

A highlight of the structure is the main aquarium tank with a volume of up to 15,500 m³, along with a giant Acrylic glass panel measuring around 200 m², creating an impressive panoramic view that makes visitors feel like walking through the heart of the ocean and immersing themselves in the marine life world. The ecosystem here is extremely diverse with more than 255,000 marine creatures, including many rare species listed in the Red Book such as the Amazon Arapaima, Mekong Giant Catfish, or Giant Barb.

2. Location & how to get to Neptune Palace

Neptune Palace is located right in the center of VinWonders Phu Quoc, Bai Dai – Ganh Dau area, North Phu Quoc Island (about 24 km from Duong Dong town).

Easy ways to get there:

  • From Duong Dong: Take 30/4 Street - turn onto Hung Vuong - go straight on Duong Dong – Cua Can – Ganh Dau road (approx. 40–50 minutes).
  • VinWonders buses, taxis, Grab, or internal buggies are all available.
  • If you buy the VinWonders + Safari combo, convenient shuttle service is included.

Tip: Arrive at VinWonders from 9:30 AM to buy tickets quickly and enter Neptune Palace right upon opening to avoid crowds.

3. Unique giant turtle architecture

Stepping into Neptune Palace, you will be awestruck by the shape of a giant sea turtle – the symbol of Poseidon, the Sea God. The entire structure is designed as a “palace under the sea” featuring modern lighting, sound, and technology system that creates a surprisingly realistic feeling.

Neptune Palace is divided into 5 distinct realms, each offering its own color and experience:

  • Wandering Sea Realm (Magical Jellyfish World): Over 1,415 rare jellyfish “dance” under color-changing lights. A shimmering space feeling like a journey to another planet – perfect for check-in photos.
  • Ocean Treasure Realm (Colorful Fish World): 18,000 saltwater & freshwater individuals, vibrant coral reefs, Japanese Koi fish, and rare species from the Mekong & Amazon rivers. You can even watch Koi fish “dinner” right on the spot.
  • Ice Palace Realm (Penguin World): More than 200 penguins belonging to 6 species (King, Rockhopper, world's fastest Gentoo, Adelie, Humboldt, African). A cold space of -5°C recreating the South Pole.
  • Shark Domain (Ferocious Shark World): Walk across the suspension bridge right above the shark tank (hammerhead sharks, nurse sharks, grey reef sharks, blacktip, whitetip). Watch a dramatic feeding show and enjoy a meal at the Deep Sea restaurant right next to the tank – fine dining in the middle of the ocean.
  • Giant Kingdom (Giant Fish World): Main tank ranked top 5 in the world with thousands of giant marine creatures. The highlight is the domed acrylic tunnel where you feel like walking on the ocean floor as fish swim right overhead.
