The cable car system holds a Guinness World Record for being the longest non-stop three-rope cable car in the world.
The terminal's architectural design features deliberate weathering and distress patterns to simulate the appearance of ancient Roman ruins.
The cable car system is supported by six main towers, with the tallest reaching 174 meters in height.
The construction of the cable car system was intended to boost tourism in the southern Phu Quoc area while minimizing environmental disruption to the marine ecosystem below.
The transit route crosses over multiple smaller islands and active shipping lanes between An Thoi and Hon Thom.
The Hon Thom Departure Terminal serves as the gateway to the Sun World Hon Thom Nature Park via a three-rope cable car system. The facility is constructed with a distinct Mediterranean and Roman-inspired architectural aesthetic, featuring faux-ruin columns and amphitheater-style layouts. It connects the An Thoi district of Phu Quoc to Hon Thom Island, spanning a total length of approximately 7,899 meters. The terminal functions as the primary transit hub for visitors accessing the Aquatopia Water Park and Exotica Theme Park located across the sea. As of June 2026, the terminal remains fully operational and serves as the main embarkation point for the world's longest non-stop three-rope cable car. The architecture utilizes yellow-ochre facades and stone detailing designed to evoke the imagery of ancient European coastal towns. The site includes extensive queue management areas, gift shops, and dining facilities intended for high-volume tourist traffic. Visitors pass through this terminal before boarding cabins that offer elevated views over the southern Phu Quoc archipelago.
The upper balcony area overlooking the cable car tracks provides a clear view of the departing cabins against the backdrop of the sea.
Arrive early in the morning to avoid the primary surge of tour groups arriving from central Phu Quoc.
Check the cable car maintenance schedule in advance, as the system occasionally undergoes periodic technical closures.
Ensure you have your digital or physical ticket ready at the turnstiles to expedite boarding during peak hours.
Avoid visiting during the peak midday heat if you prefer to minimize wait times, as crowds are largest between 10:00 and 14:00.
The cable car service may be suspended during extreme weather conditions, such as high winds or tropical storms.
Maintain order in the boarding queues and refrain from standing on seats within the cable car cabins.
