Phu Quoc: Cable Car & 3 Islands Snorkeling with Lunch

Three Islands, One Cable Car Ride Above the Sea

You get picked up from your hotel, spend the morning snorkeling above coral reefs at Gam Ghi Island, eat lunch on the boat, relax and swim at Fingernail Islet, then ride the cable car 300 meters above the water at sunset before finishing at a water park. The speedboat, guide, snorkeling gear, and lunch are all included; optional water sports cost extra.

The Experience

You want to see what's under the water and what's above it all in the same day — that's the pull of this Phu Quoc island hopping tour. The boat leaves An Thoi Harbor at around 8:30am after pickup from your hotel in Duong Dong, and from there it's speedboat to Mong Tay Island first, where you can fish for 30 minutes or visit the Ocean World sea sports center if that's more your speed. The water here is clear enough that you notice the difference the moment you step in.

Snorkeling happens at Gam Ghi Island — the coral reefs are the real thing, not the faded stuff you see in photos. Colorful fish, anemones, the whole setup. You're in the water maybe an hour, and then lunch arrives on the boat: fresh seafood, local dishes, nothing fancy but it tastes better when you're floating in the middle of the archipelago. After that, Fingernail Islet is where people relax, swim again, or try the optional water sports like parasailing if they want to pay extra. The boat then heads to Thom Island, and this is where the day shifts — you're no longer just island-hopping.

The cable car is the thing that makes this tour different from the dozen other snorkeling trips in Phu Quoc. It's the world's longest three-wire sea-crossing cable car, and it takes you 300 meters above the water with views of turquoise bays and scattered islets below. The sunset from up there is the reason people bring cameras. After the cable car, there's time at Aquatopia Water Park — slides, wave pools, the modern stuff — before the boat heads back to your hotel around 5pm. The whole day runs about nine hours, and it covers snorkeling, a meal, and two very different ways of seeing the same islands.
