Hon Thom Cable Car Cost, Steps and Timing

Editorial team · Checked 5 November 2026

Cable cars climbing a mountain

In short

The Hon Thom cable car is a paid same-day return ride of about 15 to 20 minutes from An Thoi Station. The price depends on date and operator, so message us on WhatsApp to confirm it.

What it is and who it suits

The Hon Thom cable car is a paid ride, not a free one. A round-trip ticket covers the return journey between An Thoi Station in Sunset Town and Hon Thom island on the same day. The ride takes about 15 to 20 minutes across the sea. The price depends on date and operator, and we confirm it on WhatsApp before you pay.

The line stretches 7,899.9 metres and is recognised as the longest sea-crossing cable car in the world. It passes over Hon Dua and Hon Roi before reaching Hon Thom. It has 69 cabins, each carrying up to 30 passengers. It suits families, couples and groups who want views and a day at the water park.

What is included

Local sources report that the round-trip ticket covers the return ride and, after you reach the island, Aquatopia Water Park and Exotica Village without separate entrance tickets. Meals and drinks are extra. Inclusions belong to each seller, so ask:

  • Is the return ride included on the same day?
  • Are Aquatopia and Exotica Village included, or only the ride?
  • Is food, a locker or a transfer included? Some operators include a transfer; ask whether your quote includes it.

Price range

We hold no verified prices for this page, so we do not quote a range. The price depends on date and operator and is confirmed on WhatsApp. Adult and child fares are set by the seller, and the child rule can depend on age or height, so ask for it in writing in the chat. A new ticket is charged if you lose the return half.

How to book and what to check

Message us on WhatsApp with your date, group size and children’s ages. We arrange it with local partners and confirm the exact price in the chat before you pay.

The steps from check-in to arrival:

  • Tickets booked on a website go to the registered email. App bookings are saved in My Tickets.
  • On the day, show the QR code on your phone at the designated check-in point.
  • Board a cabin and ride about 15 to 20 minutes across the sea.
  • Keep your two-way ticket for the return.

Before you go, check opening hours and last return, because the cable car pauses for a midday lunch break and the last return leaves in the late afternoon. Drive time from Duong Dong is around 40 to 45 minutes by car, and about 30 minutes from the airport. The station is about 30 km from Duong Dong Town. Ask us about parking. For view timing, read Best Time for Cable Car Views at Hon Thom.

Safety and conditions

Wind and weather can affect any cable car ride, so check the status on the day. If you are nervous about heights, read Hon Thom Cable Car: Wind and Fear of Heights.

At the island station, Aquatopia Water Park is a short walk away. Bring sun protection, swimwear and water. Around 6 to 8 hours is generally enough for the visit, so start early enough to catch the last return.

If the ride is closed, we suggest a plan B. See Alternatives to the Hon Thom Cable Car When Closed.

Frequently asked questions

Is the Hon Thom cable car paid, and do child fares differ?
It is paid. A round-trip ticket covers the return journey between An Thoi Station and Hon Thom on the same day. The price depends on date and operator, and child fare rules are set by the seller, so ask for the child rule in your quote. Message us on WhatsApp and we confirm the exact price before you pay.

How long does it take to drive from Duong Dong?
From Duong Dong the drive to the cable car takes around 40 to 45 minutes by car, depending on the starting point and traffic. From Phu Quoc airport it usually takes about 30 minutes by car. The station is at the southernmost end of the island, so allow extra time at busy periods.

What happens if I lose my ticket?
The two-way ticket must be kept for the return trip, otherwise a new ticket is charged. Keep the QR code saved on your phone and take a screenshot in case your signal drops. The last return from the island leaves in the late afternoon, so confirm the time on WhatsApp and start your return early.
What should I do if the cable car is closed?
