Hon Thom cable car

The Hon Thom cable car crosses the sea above the An Thoi archipelago and is itself a major part of the experience. If you want time for the beach or attractions on Hon Thom, plan around the operating windows and, above all, the last return service rather than only the outward journey.

How to schedule?

Treat Hon Thom cable-car hours as live operating information rather than a permanent timetable. At the 1 October 2026 check, the main Sun World Hon Thom page showed opening hours of 09:30-17:00, while separate notices from the same operator can divide cable-car service into specific running windows. Before you go, check the official schedule for that day and confirm the final return to An Thoi. If you want a full day on Hon Thom, work backwards from that last return and allow enough time to walk from the attractions to the station.

Get the geography right: Hon Thom is the island, not the name of the cable car
Hon Thom lies in the An Thoi archipelago and is one of the larger islands in the south. The cable car makes access easier, but it does not replace the need to plan what you will do once you arrive.
After leaving the station, you still need to choose between water attractions, themed entertainment, beach time or a combination. Without a priority, a surprising amount of the day can disappear into queues, changing clothes and moving between areas.

What may be different

Reaching the station does not mean you can always board immediately. The cable car may run in specific operating windows, can have breaks and may involve queues. Weather or maintenance can also change the schedule, so verify it for the actual day.

A good day usually starts by choosing one priority
For families with young children, Aquatopia may be the main focus. If beach time and views matter more, protect time for the shoreline rather than letting rides take over the day.
Possible structures include:
• Family: Aquatopia + lunch break + beach time.
• Friends: Aquatopia + Exotica + viewpoints.
• Couple: cable car + beach + food + photography.
• Half-day visitor: choose one main area and keep a comfortable margin for the return cable car.

Before the trip

Check the current official operating schedule for the exact day of your visit.
Allow enough time to leave the attractions and reach the station before the final return service.
Keep a buffer for queues and walking time.
With young children or older adults, plan a comfortable pace with regular breaks.
