Waves slap the hull, gulls wheel overhead and the mainland of Phu Quoc shrinks into a green ribbon behind you — this is a day spent moving through water and sky. The tour launches from Duong Dong toward the An Thoi archipelago, where boats thread between Gam Ghi’s coral bommies, the quiet coves of Hon May Rut and the palm-scattered shores of Hon Thom. The cable car to Hon Thom rises like a human thread across the sea, offering a high, slow view of reefs, fishing boats and the scatter of islands below.

Waves slap the hull, gulls wheel overhead and the mainland of Phu Quoc shrinks into a green ribbon behind you — this is a day spent moving through water and sky.

The cable car to Hon Thom rises like a human thread across the sea, offering a high, slow view of reefs, fishing boats and the scatter of islands below.
Geology here is intimate — low limestone and coral foundations rising from shallow continental-shelf waters, surrounded by reefs that host colorful reef fish and occasional turtles. Culturally, the islands grew from fishing and pearl farming; today local crews balance tourism with traditional livelihoods. Expect a mix of active snorkeling at Gam Ghi, relaxed beach time on Hon May Rut and the modern lift and facilities on Hon Thom, where a small waterpark and coconut groves sit near white sand reaches.
Practically: the full-day program runs roughly nine hours, includes lunch and basic snorkel support, and typically returns via An Thoi in time for sunset in Duong Dong. Bring reef-safe sunscreen, a lightweight towel, water shoes and a dry bag; motion-sickness remedies help if you’re prone to seasickness. Confirm pickup point and any dietary needs before departure, and follow guide instructions around reefs — they’re fragile and fast to show their displeasure to careless visitors.

9 hours.
Suitable for most people who can board small boats and manage short swims; basic mobility and balance helpful.
Most operators provide basic snorkel sets and life jackets; many travelers still bring their own mask for fit and hygiene—confirm with the operator before departure.
Yes; life jackets are worn for all open-water activities and guides stay close to the group, but swimming is optional at each stop.
The sea-crossing cable car is a long scenic span—expect roughly 15–20 minutes of aerial views round-trip depending on boarding wait times.
Pickup from Duong Dong and nearby hotels is commonly offered, but you should confirm your pickup point and time when booking.
The An Thoi islands have long supported small fishing and pearl-farming communities; modern tourism centers on boat access to reefs and beaches, while Hon Thom’s cable car is a recent development linking sea and shore.
Reefs are sensitive to anchors, trampling and sunscreen chemicals—opt for reef-safe products, avoid touching coral and follow guide instructions to minimize impact.
