Hon Thom Cable Car (Sun World Hon Thom)

Cáp treo Hòn Thơm

The world's longest over-sea cable car at nearly 8 km. It soars from An Thoi fishing port across the islands to Hòn Thơm, which has a water park and beaches. It is Phu Quoc's top attraction.

The Hon Thom Cable Car opened in 2018. It departs from the sunset town of An Thoi, at the island's southern tip, and crosses the sea over the An Thoi Islands to reach Hòn Thơm. The route is 7,899 meters long and is recognized by Guinness World Records as the world's longest three-cable over-sea cable car. The one-way ride takes about 15 minutes, and the highest point is about 160 meters above the sea. You can see the dense fishing boats of An Thoi port, the emerald water, and the scattered small islands. It is the most breathtaking stretch of scenery on Phu Quoc. On Hòn Thơm is the Sun World Hon Thom park. It includes Aquatopia, one of Southeast Asia's largest water parks, with dozens of slides and a wave pool. Exotica is a theme park with roller coasters, including the wooden "Jungle Coaster." There are also free beaches with lounge chairs, restaurants and a buffet, and paid activities such as paragliding, undersea walking, and snorkeling. Admission for adults is about 750,000 Vietnamese dong, and for children aged 1 to 1.39 meters about 600,000 dong. The package with round-trip cable car and both parks costs about 1 million dong, and the package with buffet lunch costs about 1 million dong. Opening hours are about 9:00 to 17:00. The last cable car back is around 17:30 to 18:00, and hours may be extended at night on certain days. Suggested plan: take the cable car in the morning and visit the water park, relax on the beach in the afternoon, and ride the cable car back at 16:00 to 17:00 to catch the evening at the sunset town and the fireworks at night. Getting there: a Grab from Duong Dong town takes about 40 minutes and costs about 250,000 to 300,000 dong. Many hotels offer shuttles. Note: bring your own swimsuit for the water park. The cable car cabins have no air conditioning, and it gets stuffy at noon. Queues exceed 30 minutes in peak season and on weekends, so arrive early. In rainy season, when strong winds halt the cable car, tickets are refunded or rescheduled.
