Located about 83 kilometers away from Rach Gia, Nam Du is the farthest outlying island of Kien Giang province. The  pristine island has 21 islets, 11 islets of which are inhabited, while the others remain completely untouched.

Imposing mountains emerge from the sparkling sea with splendid cliff faces, stunning beaches and green primeval forests, making Nam Du a must-see on a trip to Kin Giang.
