The world’s longest sea-cross cable car Hon Thom Vietnam

Hon Thom Cable Car About

The newly-opened cable-car ride from Vietnam’s Phu Quoc island to Hon Thom, also known as Pineapple Island, is a genuinely breathtaking experience. You soar over a turquoise sea and coral reefs, hopping between islands, with an amazing bird’s-eye view. At almost 8km long, the Phu Quoc cable car is also the longest non-stop three-way cable car in the world, as verified by the Guinness Book of World Records.

The cable car takes you to Hon Thom Nature Park. There’s a lovely but small golden-sand beach, which features a fun jumping-castle-style playground in the water, deck chairs and swings from the palm trees. Oh, and water so turquoise it makes you want to cry. The cable car ticket includes free return transfers to this beach. Open-air shuttle mini buses (kind of like long golf buggies) leave pretty much constantly throughout the day in both directions and it’s only a few minutes’ drive from the cable car station on Hon Thom Island to the beach.

The view from the Phu Quoc cable car

The ride itself is a pretty amazing experience. You get a 360 degree aerial view of the An Thoi Archipelago, flying over green islands, turquoise coral reefs and charming fishing boats. You can actually look down at the harbour and the water is so clear you can see the shadows of the boats on the sea bed, and watch fishermen wearing cone-shaped hats sailing their boats out to sea.

The cable-car ride from Phu Quoc to Hon Thom Island takes about 15 minutes each way, so you have time to really enjoy the amazing views. It’s a fast ride at times (up to around 30km an hour apparently) so you genuinely do feel like you’re flying above the water.

– The cost of the Phu Quoc cable car ride is 500,000 Vietnamese Dong, which is around £16 / $22 USD.

For the moment, the current post would be relocated to the other one, The world’s longest sea-cross cable car Hon Thom Vietnam, as post on Connect would not be deleted, should they be merged or perhaps also edited ( I would suggest you to check the handy post Edit your post - Why and How To, kindly shared by @ErmesT ) so that it may suit better.
