❓ Frequently Asked Questions

What are the cable car operating hours, and how can I get to the departure station?

The cable car usually operates from 09:00 to 17:00, although it sometimes has operational breaks at midday, so I recommend checking the latest schedule on the official Sun World website. The departure station is located in Sunset Town (An Thoi), in southern Phu Quoc, and you can easily get there by taxi or by using the free shuttle buses that run across the island.

How much do tickets cost, and do I have to pay extra for the water park?

A round-trip ticket costs approximately between 600,000 and 650,000 VND (about 25 USD) for adults, and the best part is that admission generally includes unlimited access to the Aquatopia Water Park on the island. You can buy your tickets directly at the station or book them online to avoid lines at the ticket office.

How long is the cable car ride, and how much time should I allow for the full visit?

The aerial journey lasts about 15 to 20 minutes of pure panoramic views over the turquoise sea. To fully enjoy the ride, the water park, and the beaches of Hon Thom Island, I suggest setting aside at least half a day (around 4 to 5 hours).

Why is this cable car important, and why is it world-famous?

This cable car holds the Guinness World Record as the longest three-rope cable car in the world, with an impressive length of 7,899.9 meters. It is a masterpiece of modern engineering that connects the town of An Thoi with Hon Thom Island while soaring over pristine islets.

What is the best time of day or year to visit and take good photos?

The best time is the dry season (from November to April) to ensure clear skies and calm seas. For the most spectacular photos and a romantic experience, try to schedule your return trip at sunset.

Are the facilities and cabins accessible for people with reduced mobility?

Yes, the cabins are spacious, and the station is designed with ramps and elevators to make access easier for wheelchairs and strollers. The Sun World staff are usually very attentive and help all visitors board and disembark safely.

What other attractions are available once I arrive on Hon Thom Island?

Once you get off the cable car, you will enter directly into the Sun World Hon Thom Nature Park complex, which features Aquatopia Water Park and the Exotica Village area. Be sure to visit our audio guide to museums and exhibitions to discover more cultural context if you decide to explore nearby temples afterward.

What practical tips should I keep in mind to make the most of the day?

Bring a swimsuit, a towel, and plenty of sunscreen, as you will spend much of your time outdoors at the water park. It is crucial to check the time of the last cable car back so you do not get stranded on the island, since alternative sea transport is limited.
