3. Guide to Taking the Hon Thom Phu Quoc Cable Car

For first-time visitors experiencing the Hon Thom cable car, knowing a few practical tips will help make the trip smooth, time-saving, and allow you to fully enjoy the beauty of Phu Quoc's islands and seas.

  • Ideal time: Choose an early morning trip (Slot 1) to avoid intense sun and large crowds. If you love romantic scenery, the afternoon trip (Slot 3) is a perfect choice to watch the sunset over the sea.
  • Traveling to An Thoi Station: From Phu Quoc Airport, it takes about 30–40 minutes (taxi/Grab around 250,000 VND), and from Duong Dong center about 45 minutes. Many resorts in the South Island offer free shuttle services, making your travel more convenient.
  • Essential preparation: Bring sunscreen, hats, a light jacket (as the wind at high altitudes can be strong), and sneakers for comfortable movement. Note that outside food is not allowed into the park, as there is a full restaurant system available inside.
  • Families with young children: Consider choosing a combo ticket that includes cable car tickets, lunch buffet, and access to Aquatopia Water Park so children have a safe, comfortable play area. Children under 1 meter tall are usually free of charge.
  • Avoiding crowds: Try to avoid traveling on weekends or peak holidays like April 30 – May 1 and Lunar New Year (Tet). Traveling on weekdays can save you up to 50% of queuing time.
  • Phu Quoc weather: The dry season (November – April) is the best time for the experience. The rainy season (May – October) is still manageable; however, check the weather forecast in advance to avoid schedule interruptions.

With careful preparation and choosing the right time, your Hon Thom cable car journey will become one of the most memorable experiences during your trip to Phu Quoc.
