Phu Quoc Airport to Hon Thom Cable Car: Getting to the An Thoi Station

By Phu Quoc Airport Car Editorial Team•Published: September 22, 2026•Updated: September 22, 2026

The Hon Thom cable car starts in the An Thoi area in southern Phu Quoc and travels over the sea to Hon Thom island.

Sun World's official information states that the cable-car line is 7,899.9 metres long and that the cable-car ride itself takes about 15 minutes. An official Sun World guide has also described the departure area as roughly 21 km from Phu Quoc Airport.

The road journey from the airport is separate from the cable-car ride.

Step 1: Get from the airport to the departure station

Use the current station pin supplied by Sun World or your ticket provider. Do not ask only for "Hon Thom," because the island is the cable car's destination, not the airport-transfer drop-off point.

Taxi or private transfer are the simplest direct road options.

Step 2: Allow time before your cable car

Do not book a cable-car time based on the aircraft's scheduled landing time.

Add time for:

disembarking;
immigration if applicable;
baggage claim;
airport pickup;
road travel;
walking to the correct entrance;
ticket validation.

Check operating hours on the day

Sun World explicitly notes that operating schedules can change. Check the current official schedule close to travel day, especially during maintenance periods, bad weather, or seasonal timetable changes.

What to do with luggage

If you are arriving with full-size suitcases, decide where they will go before traveling directly to the station.

Check whether:

your hotel can receive bags first;
the attraction currently offers suitable storage;
your transfer provider can legally and securely hold luggage.

Do not assume attraction lockers are designed for airline-sized baggage.

Families and groups

A direct airport-to-station vehicle can simplify the journey for a family, but the attraction day itself may involve a lot of walking.

Bring water, sun protection, and whatever children need for a long day, while keeping the airline luggage problem separate.

If your flight is delayed

A significant delay can make a same-day timed attraction stressful. Check the ticket-change conditions before travel and keep the official operator contact details accessible.
