For most travellers: choose 2 islands – Snorkeling – Sunset BBQ dinner. It costs €66.82, lasts eight hours and is the only option here with published guest feedback: 3.8 stars from 4 reviews. For the same snorkel-and-beach-BBQ format from a newer listing: the Sunset BBQ Dinner & 2 Islands Snorkeling Tour costs €76.26.

The known quantity, with a warning
This tour is billed as a full day on the An Thoi islets; its schedule runs from a 12:45–13:00 pickup to about 19:00 back at the hotel. Its description names snorkelling at Xuong Island, time on May Rut Island and a barbecue dinner prepared while you explore. A notice on the page says rough waves at May Rut Trong currently move the stop to Xuong Island (Dugong Bay Restaurant) until further notice, and the tour needs at least four travellers or it is cancelled. Pickup is from the operator’s office or hotels in central Duong Dong; other areas can cost extra. That order, water first and the meal as the light drops, is the logic of the day.
The weakness is the sample: 3.8 from 4 reviews is mildly positive but far too small to be stable. Treat this as the least uncertain listing, not as a strongly proven one. Read the latest comments before paying and check what happens to the sunset element if weather changes the route.

The tour that tries to fit everything in
The bundle at €77.35 links a speedboat visit to the southern islands – May Rut, Mong Tay and Gam Ghi in the description, Roi, May Rut and Thom in the itinerary – with a one-way cable car ride, Aquatopia Water Park, sea walking, a buffet lunch and a massage at Lumi Spa. This is the choice for a traveller whose question is “how much can I do in one day?”, not “where is the calmest sunset dinner?”. Each added activity competes for the same eight hours.
Despite “Sunset” in its title there is no dinner: the evening part is a two-hour stop in Sunset Town after the massage, which the itinerary lists as a foot massage. There are no reviews yet, so neither the timing nor the hand-offs between boat, cable car and spa have guest evidence behind them. The page rules out pregnant women and people with heart problems; confirm any other sea walking conditions, such as a minimum age, on the booking page.

The beach-dinner alternative
The €76.26 afternoon speedboat has the cleanest sunset-focused outline: Xuong Island for snorkelling, May Rut Trong for relaxation, then a barbecue dinner on the beach; drinks at the beach bar and tips are extra, and the guide speaks English. It avoids the cable-car and spa detours, so the evening is the centre rather than the last item in a bundle.
Its problem is the complete lack of reviews. The title and description are specific, but no guest record yet shows how closely the timing matches the promise. Both tours end with a barbecue dinner on an island, so pay €76.26 rather than €66.82 only if its itinerary appeals more than having any review history.

Who should avoid a sunset island tour?
Skip these if arriving back at a precise hour matters: an island route that depends on sea and weather conditions is a poor match for a flight or fixed evening reservation. The full eight-hour format is also excessive if you only want sunset photographs. Families should check the minimum age on the booking page; the two-island BBQ tour notes that fins are not available in child sizes and has you back at the hotel around 19:00.
For a daytime decision with far more review evidence, compare the An Thoi speedboat tours.
Verdict
Our cautious choice is the two-island sunset BBQ tour: at €66.82 against €76.26 for the beach-dinner alternative it costs less and at least has guest feedback, though its 3.8 score from 4 reviews means you should read the newest ones. Choose the beach-dinner alternative if its simpler itinerary is worth accepting zero reviews. The cable-car and spa bundle is only for travellers who value variety above a sunset-led pace.
