The experience

The day starts at 8:30 AM with pickup from your hotel in Duong Dong or Tran Hung Dao. You head to the cable car station and board for a ride that crosses the sky above the An Tho Archipelago, giving you views of remote villages, floating houses, and fishing boats below. The cable car ends on Thom Island, where you have free time to explore Sun World Nature Park before boarding the boat that carries you through the rest of the day.

Your first snorkeling stop is Buom or Gam Ghi Island, where you swim in clear water and search for colorful coral reefs and tropical marine life with mask, snorkel, and fins provided. After working up an appetite, you eat lunch onboard while the boat cruises, then head to May Rut Island for your final stop. There you walk a palm-lined beach, sunbathe on white sand, and swim in the shallows. The return journey to your hotel closes out the eight-hour day.
