What Makes Phu Quoc Cable Car Unique?

Phu Quoc cable car was built in the An Thoi archipelago, South Phu Quoc - Vietnam's famous pearl island paradise. On the plane to the island, you can see the An Thoi archipelago and the cable car from above which connects Phu Quoc island to Hon Thom, also known as Pineapple Island.

According to the Guinness Book of World Records, the Phu Quoc cable route is 8 km long, making it the longest non-stop three-way cable car worldwide. When taking the cable car, it takes approximately 15 minutes to travel from An Thoi Station to Hon Thom Station via Hon Dua and Hon Roi.

There are a total of 69 cabins that make up the Phu Quoc Cable Car, and each one has the capability of carrying up to 30 passengers at a time. In order to avoid making passengers wait, the cable car runs continuously throughout the day. The ticket price will be round-trip, and the internet is available in each compartment. All cabins are illuminated at night, offering the visitors to enjoy the beauty of Phu Quoc by night.

Have An Amazing Experience

The fastest cable car routes can reach the destination up to 30 kilometers per hour, compared to the typical cable car. You'll find lush tropical islets, vibrant coral reefs, and picturesque fishing vessels below.

The cable car will occasionally pause in the air for a minute or two, during which time it will rotate slightly. When it passes the tall cement pillars on each island that hold up the cable lines, they dip and plummet downwards. Those individuals who fear of heights will find it a challenging experience.

 

Visit A Beautiful Destination

The cable car will transport visitors to the stunning Hon Thom Island, home to unspoiled wilderness and an infinite paradise of activities and attractions.

There is the Aquatopia Water Park on the island, which is widely considered the most cutting-edge water park in all of Southeast Asia, with exciting activities that are on pace with those found in international competitions. This amusement park guarantees visitors to have a fantastic time and experience they will remember.

The Safest Cable Car In The World

Phu Quoc cable car is a 3-wire cable car using the most modern technology in the world. Two of the three wires of the cable car act as fixed rails, and the middle wire is the moving one.

The cabin is clamped to this rope and runs along the cable line. As a result, the 3-wire sling operates smoothly. This is the most secure structure in the world since there is no need to use a conventional rescue system.

The cable is also sensitive to magnetic fields; therefore, the system will automatically stop working when lightning strikes.

  • In order to avoid becoming overheated, and fatigued, during the midday hours, it is recommended that you carry along wide-brimmed hats.

How To Take Great Photos From The Cable Car?

Through the windows in the cabin, you can have a great view and take photos from many angles. Consider bringing a polarising lens for your camera or a clip-on polariser for your phone. A polarizer is just a glass lens you screw onto or clip over your phone's camera, cutting out reflections on glass or water.

You will be able to take photographs of the landscapes through the glass walls of the cable car utilizing a polarizer, which will result in fewer distractions and background projection in the pictures.

I'm confused about the itineraries - does the car run continuously on itinerary 1 then close for an hour then operate again? What package covers cable car, buffet lunch and the aqua park?

@Stephen R:

Hi! We don't really get it when you ask about the itinerary as the cable car here is simply a way to tranfer from Phu Quoc Island to Hon Thom island, no stop at the middle and the cable car run continuously. About the package, Aqua Park is always included in the cable car ticket price. And when it combos with buffet lunch, the price is from $70/person.
