The wake lifts soft and bright as you step from the An Thoi pier and push a canoe into water that seems to ask only that you move forward. Sea spray cools your skin and the islands of the An Thoi archipelago sit like low green sentries, each one offering a different tempo: reef, beach, grove, and cable-car skyline.

The wake lifts soft and bright as you step from the An Thoi pier and push a canoe into water that seems to ask only that you move forward. Sea spray cools your skin and the islands of the An Thoi archipelago sit like low green sentries, each one offering a different tempo: reef, beach, grove, and cable-car skyline.
This private full-day circuit connects Gầm Ghì’s clear snorkeling shallows, the coral gardens off Gam Ghi, the quiet palms of Hòn Mây Rút, and the lively shores of Hòn Thơm—where Vietnam’s record sea-crossing cable car traces a suspended arc. Geologically, these are granite and limestone outcrops worn by tides and monsoon wind; culturally they are part of Phú Quốc’s fishing and boat-building tradition, frequented for generations by southern Vietnamese and Khmer fisherfolk.
Expect guided canoe segments, shallow-water snorkeling over hard and soft corals, a relaxed beach lunch, and time for photos and short walks on islands with minimal services. The cable car gives a different viewpoint—sea below that seems to push you along—ideal at midday for clarity or late afternoon for long light.
Practical guidance: bring reef-safe sunscreen, a well-fitting mask (snorkel gear is provided but fit varies), a light wind layer, and quick-dry shoes for rocky landings. Hydrate before departure, and if you’re prone to motion sickness, take preventive measures; transfers from Duong Dong are typically by air-conditioned vehicle. For a private experience, book mornings to avoid afternoon winds and to keep reefs crisp and visible.
moderate.
8–9 hours.
Suitable for general fitness: you’ll paddle short segments, wade in shallow water and do light walking on uneven sand and rock.
Yes—snorkeling equipment is included, but many travelers prefer to bring a personal mask for comfort and fit.
Canoe segments are short and guided; basic paddling is required but the tour is designed for a wide range of fitness levels.
Families are welcome; children should be supervised and non‑swimmers must wear life jackets—alert the operator at booking so they can provide appropriate safety gear.
Open-water stretches can be choppy; take motion‑sickness medication beforehand if you are prone, and sit in the middle of the boat where movement is less pronounced.
The An Thoi islands have long supported small fishing communities and acted as seasonal harvest grounds; Hòn Thơm has more recent tourist development anchored by the cable car link to Phú Quốc.
Coral reefs here are vulnerable—avoid touching or standing on coral, use reef‑safe products, and support guides who practice low‑impact anchoring and waste management.
