The world’s longest cable car is 5 miles long across beautiful island | Travel News | Travel
Imagine a view of beautiful blue seas and lush greenery from above, that’s exactly what you get when travelling across the world’s longest cable car. The incredible car takes passengers five miles across some of Asia’s most beautiful scenery, allowing them to admire the idyllic paradise that Vietnam has to offer.
The journey starts at An Thoi, Phu Quoc Island, Vietnam and travels over smaller islands such as Hon Dua and Hon Roi before landing on Hom Thom Island, located off the southern coast of Phu Quoc. In addition to the breathtaking views, another perk of the experience is that it can be shared among friends and family, as each cabin can accommodate up to 30 passengers, making it perfect for any group size.
The Hon Thom Cable Car earned a spot in the Guinness World Records as the longest 3-wire cable car, and has also gained attention for being vouched for by the many people who have travelled on it.
Rated an impressive 4.4 stars on TripAdvisor, previous passengers have described it as one of the most beautiful rides, offering exceptional views, and an absolute must-see for visitors to the island.
One person wrote: “The cable ride is exceptional, providing the chance to see all the islands and the sea. Beautiful must try in Phu Quoc island!”
A second added: “The Hon Thom Cable Car is not to be missed at any cost. It’s the world’s longest cable car over sea and without a doubt one of the most beautiful rides you will ever get onto. It starts from the southern tip of Phu Quoc Island and literally takes you into the sea as you hop above smaller islands till you reach Hon Thom or Pineapple Island.”
Phu Quoc is a Vietnamese island located off the coast of Cambodia in the Gulf of Thailand, widely known for its beautiful white beaches, earning it the nickname ‘Pearl Island’.
It boasts a stunning coastline that stretches 150 kilometres, accompanied by crystal clear waters, making it the perfect spot for water sports.
Visitors have an abundance of beaches to choose from, including Long Beach, which is a favourite spot for catching the ultimate view of the mesmerising sunset over the island. Ganh Dau and Bai Thom are other beach options for those who value tranquillity and would like to escape the crowds.
With a one-way ride of the cable car taking just 15 to 20 minutes, visitors can complete the experience by exploring the island and discovering everything it has to offer.
Tickets for the cable car can be booked through online vendors, a tour operator, or directly at The Sun World counter at the departure terminal in Phu Quoc. Prices can vary depending on where and how they are purchased, but a round-trip for adults is typically around £22, whilst for children it is £18.
