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 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.
