If you are planning your first trip to Phu Quoc, the Hon Thom Cable Car deserves a place on your itinerary. More than simply a way to reach Hon Thom Island, the journey offers panoramic views over the sea and the beautiful An Thoi Archipelago in southern Phu Quoc.


The cable car connects An Thoi with Hon Thom and stretches approximately 7.9 kilometers across the sea.


Why Is the Hon Thom Cable Car Famous?


The journey is recognized for its impressive length and three-rope cable car system.

Once the cabin leaves the station, the landscape changes quickly. Travelers can look down over turquoise water, fishing boats, small islands, and coastal scenery.



Highlights include:

  • Panoramic ocean views

  • An Thoi Archipelago scenery

  • A unique perspective of southern Phu Quoc

  • Convenient access to Hon Thom

  • Easy combination with other attractions

For many visitors, the ride itself becomes one of the day's highlights.


What Can You Do After the Cable Car?

  • Restaurants and cafés

  • Photography around Hon Thom


This makes the cable car suitable for anything from a half-day visit to a longer southern Phu Quoc experience.


When Should You Go?


Weather can significantly affect the experience.


Clear conditions provide better visibility across the archipelago, while rain or strong weather may affect outdoor activities.


Try to avoid arriving too late if you want enough time to explore Hon Thom after the journey.

Always check the latest cable car operating schedule before departure.


Useful Tips for First-Time Visitors


Bring sunscreen, comfortable clothing, and a fully charged phone or camera.


If you plan to visit the water park, pack appropriate swimwear and a change of clothes.

Most importantly, do not treat the cable car purely as transportation. Take time to enjoy the views during the journey.
