What is the Hon Thom Cable Car?
The Hon Thom Cable Car links the south of Phu Quoc with Hon Thom island in the An Thoi archipelago. The lower station, Ánh Dương, sits in Sunset Town and is built to look like the Roman Colosseum. From there it's 7,899.9 m over the sea, crossing Hon Roi and Hon Dua islands on six pylons, with fishing boats below and turquoise water all around. In 2018 Guinness named it the world's longest three-rope cable car.
On the island is the Sun World Hon Thom complex: Aquatopia water park with a couple of dozen slides, Exotica Village with rollercoasters, swimming beaches, cafés and restaurants. So it's not just a 15-minute flight — it's half a day on the island.
What to see and do
- The ride itself — 15 minutes over the sea and the An Thoi islands; the best views are midway, over Hon Roi and Hon Dua.
- Ánh Dương station — styled on the Colosseum, with columns and statues, at the start of Sunset Town.
- Aquatopia water park — 20+ slides and pools, included in the ticket.
- Exotica Village — a themed rides area, including a wooden rollercoaster.
- Hon Thom's beaches — swimming, kayaking and a stroll along the shore.
- Lunch on the island — restaurants or the buffet on a combo ticket.

More tips
- From Dinh Cau Shrine and the night market in Duong Dong it's about 25 km south by road — 30–40 minutes by Grab or taxi. Search for "Ga cáp treo Hòn Thơm" or "Sunset Town"; Grab shows the fare upfront.
- From Phu Quoc International Airport (PQC) it's about 20 km — 20–30 minutes by taxi.
- By scooter, take the main road south to An Thoi and park by Sunset Town.
- Ánh Dương station is inside Sunset Town, a five-minute walk from Kiss Bridge. Scan your ticket's QR code at the gate and join the queue for the cabins.
- Get off at Hon Thom station and follow the signs to Aquatopia, Exotica and the beaches.
- Ride back before 17:00, then stay on in Sunset Town for sunset and the shows.
How long do you need, and when to go?
The ride takes about 15 minutes each way, but with the island allow half a day, 4–5 hours, for the water park, the beach and lunch. The best plan: the first car at 9:00, the island until lunch or 15:00–16:00, then back for an evening in Sunset Town.
The weather is best in the dry season, November to April, with clear skies, calm seas and long views. In the wet season, May to October, the cable car may stop in strong wind or storms — check the forecast and Sun World's notices. Weekends and holidays bring longer queues, so buy online in advance.
Is the Hon Thom cable car worth it?
Yes. The views over the An Thoi islands are some of the best in Vietnam, and one ticket covers the ride, a water park and a beach day. It's especially good with kids and on a clear day.
The YesGo take: if you only want the view and not the water park, the ticket feels expensive — but Sun World doesn't publish a cheaper ride-only fare. On an overcast day it loses much of its magic. Don't arrive at noon because of the break, and don't plan an hour-long visit — give it half a day or choose something else.
