Must read

Set amid the waters of the Phu Quoc Special Zone off An Giang Province, Hon Thom Islet has emerged as one of southern Vietnam’s most captivating island destinations, blending untouched natural beauty with modern leisure experiences.

Often described as a miniature version of Phu Quoc, Hon Thom is known for its white-sand beaches, calm emerald waters, and lush tropical landscape. The island is part of the An Thoi archipelago and is especially popular among travelers seeking both relaxation and adventure.

One of its standout attractions is the world’s longest three-wire sea-crossing cable car, spanning nearly eight kilometers between the southern tip of Phu Quoc Island and Hon Thom. The ride offers sweeping aerial views of fishing villages, scattered islets, and the open sea below.

Beyond its scenery, Hon Thom also draws visitors with a growing range of entertainment and marine activities. Travelers can explore coral reefs, ride jet skis, and enjoy parasailing, among other activities. The best time to visit is from November to June, when the sea is calm and the skies are clear. With its blend of tropical charm and upscale tourism experiences, Hon Thom continues to redefine island travel in southern Vietnam.
