The day starts with the boat slicing out of An Thoi harbour, spray bright against a low sun as islands step into view like chapters of the same book. Coconut Island’s shallow shoals invite a cautious wade; Gam Ghi’s coral gardens glitter beneath the surface; May Rut Trong offers a quiet stretch of sand for a slow lunch; May Rut Ngoai shows off clearer water and compact reefs before the cable car lifts you above the sea to Hon Thom and its broad panorama.

The day starts with the boat slicing out of An Thoi harbour, spray bright against a low sun as islands step into view like chapters of the same book. Coconut Island’s shallow shoals invite a cautious wade; Gam Ghi’s coral gardens glitter beneath the surface; May Rut Trong offers a quiet stretch of sand for a slow lunch; May Rut Ngoai shows off clearer water and compact reefs before the cable car lifts you above the sea to Hon Thom and its broad panorama.
Geology here is straightforward: recent reef growth on granite outcrops, white sand beaches built from broken coral, and shallow lagoons that warm quickly in the sun. Historically the archipelago has been a fishers’ landscape—scattered hamlets, pearl farms and seasonal boats—and the Hon Thom cable car (opened in 2018) transformed access, becoming the world’s longest sea-crossing cable car.
Culturally the day mixes local rhythms—seafood lunches and fishermen’s boats—with modern leisure: snorkeling, banana boats and seaside restaurants. Expect bright sunlight reflecting off turquoise water and the occasional trade wind pushing you toward shore.
Practical guidance: bring reef-safe sunscreen, a lightweight change of clothes and water shoes for rocky shallows; plan for 5–6 hours total including transfers. Snorkeling time is limited—look, don’t touch—and follow guides’ safety briefings. If prone to seasickness, take preventative medication before boarding. Carry small VND cash for drinks and tips; phone signal is patchy between islands. Timing your trip in the morning keeps seas calmer and coral visibility higher. This tour is an efficient way to see southern Phu Quoc’s marine highlights in a single, well-paced day.
easy.
5–6 hours.
Suitable for basic fitness; requires boarding small boats, light walking on sand and shallow snorkel ability
Yes—basic mask, snorkel and life jacket are included, but you may prefer your own mask or fins for fit and comfort.
The sea-crossing cable car covers several kilometres and provides about 10–15 minutes of continuous elevated views depending on boarding points and queues.
The tour is described as physically easy and suitable for families; life jackets are provided, but children should be supervised and non-swimmers stick to shallow areas or stay on the boat.
The An Thoi archipelago has long supported fishing and pearl cultivation; the Hon Thom cable car—completed in 2018—opened the southern islands to mass tourism.
Coral reefs around these islands are sensitive—use reef-safe sunscreen, avoid standing on coral and support operators who follow no-touch and no-anchoring practices.
Mekong Tourist operates guided outdoor trips and adventures with an emphasis on safety, stewardship, and memorable experiences.
