A **combo with a lunch buffet** on the island is 1,150,000 VND for adults and 900,000 VND for children. Sun World often discounts tickets and bundles them with the evening shows in Sunset Town, so check booking.sunworld.vn before you go. Buy online (foreign cards accepted) or at the lower station; in high season and on holidays the ticket queue can be long. > **The cable car pauses at midday: 11:30–13:30** Sun World runs the cable car in two sessions, 9:00–11:30 and 13:30–17:00. Turn up at noon and you could wait almost two hours. The first run, at 9:00–10:00, is best: shorter queues, soft light and a full day on the island. The last departures are close to 17:00, by which time you'll want to head back anyway; the schedule can change for weather or maintenance. ## 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. ## How to get to the Hon Thom cable car 1. **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. 2. **From Phu Quoc International Airport (PQC)** it's about 20 km — 20–30 minutes by taxi. 3. **By scooter**, take the main road south to An Thoi and park by Sunset Town. 4. 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. 5. Get off at Hon Thom station and follow the signs to Aquatopia, Exotica and the beaches. 6. Ride back before 17:00, then stay on in [Sunset Town](https://yesgo.io/vietnam/phu-quoc/phu-quoc-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. ## Hon Thom cable car or Sunset Town? | | Cable car and Hon Thom | Sunset Town | | --- | --- | --- | | What it is | Sea crossing, water park and island beach | Mediterranean-style quarter, bridge and shows | | Price | 850,000 VND return | Free entry; shows and bridge paid | | When | Morning and daytime, 9:00–17:00 | Sunset and evening | | Time needed | Half a day | 2–5 hours | They're in the same place — the cable car station is inside Sunset Town.

It's not Sun World's Ba Na Hills cable car near Da Nang or the Fansipan line in Sapa, nor the VinWonders cable car in Nha Trang. There's no cable car in the north of Phu Quoc. ## Tips - Sit facing forward by the window — the best island views are ahead of you. - Take the first car: at 9:00 there's hardly a queue and the light is soft. - Pack swimwear — Aquatopia is included and the island's beaches are clear. - Miss the 11:30 cut-off? Wait out the break on the island; there are plenty of places to eat. - Stay for the evening: Sunset Town by the station has the Kiss Bridge sunset and the shows. ## Questions ### How much is the Hon Thom cable car ticket?

Hours: Sun World's Hon Thom page on 08.11.2026 gives the park as 9:30–17:00; Sun World's cable car article gives the line's schedule as 9:00–11:30 and 13:30–17:00 (in force since 09.12.2023, subject to change); guides give similar sessions differing by 30 minutes. We use the official figures. The tallest pylon is 174 m per Sun World and 160 m per Russian Wikipedia; we show both. Sources disagree on when construction began (January or September 2015), so we give only the 04.02.2018 opening. Distance from Duong Dong is from an OSRM route (Sun World says about 31 km from central Duong Dong); the airport distance is per Sun World. ## Sources - Sun World website (sunworld.vn) — Sun World Hon Thom page (08.11.2026): island park hours - Sun World website — Hon Thom cable car article: length, Guinness record, ride time, stations, pylons, cabins, opening, two-session schedule - Sun World website — 2026 ticket articles (27.03.2026, 30.04.2026): return fares since 01.01.2026, inclusions, validity, buffet combo - Russian Wikipedia — Hon Thom cable car: specifications, history - Wikidata Q48078466 — coordinates of the lower station; OSRM route — distance from Dinh Cau Shrine - YesGo general facts for Vietnam — cards and Grab --- This is the Markdown version of a YesGo page for AI assistants.
