A low hum of the cable car rises above a bright sea as you lift away from Phu Quoc’s southern shore, the sunlight flattening into a sheet of turquoise below. By the time the gondola spills you onto Hon Thom, the islands at An Thoi are spread like a cluster of private beaches—white sand, shallow reefs, and a speedboat waiting to stitch them together.

A low hum of the cable car rises above a bright sea as you lift away from Phu Quoc’s southern shore, the sunlight flattening into a sheet of turquoise below. By the time the gondola spills you onto Hon Thom, the islands at An Thoi are spread like a cluster of private beaches—white sand, shallow reefs, and a speedboat waiting to stitch them together.
The An Thoi archipelago sits off Phu Quoc’s southern flank, historically a fishing outpost and waypoint on Gulf of Thailand routes. Geologically these islets are limestone and sand, scoured by seasonal currents that shape sandbars and concentrated coral gardens; the Hon Thom cable car that crosses the channel is one of the world’s longest sea-crossing lines, built to give visitors panoramic views with minimal footprint.
Culturally the area is still fishing-first—look for floating fish farms and net-makers on the larger islets—and guides often point out local practices around seasonal harvests.
Practical guidance: the typical excursion runs 4–6 hours and includes cable-car transfer, private speedboat, snorkeling gear, and lunch. Expect calm, shallow snorkeling over bom and Gam Ghi reefs, but bring reef-safe sunscreen and a snug mask; currents can pick up mid-day. Wear water shoes for shell-strewn sand and a light wind layer for the ride back. If you’re prone to seasickness, take medication before embarkation; transfers use open, fast boats. Timing matters—mornings usually offer the best visibility and gentler seas. Respect the reef: no touching or standing on coral, and stash plastic and sunscreen residue to protect marine life.
