6 Awesome Experiences Only Found at Hon Thom Island

Hon Thom, also known as Dao Dua, is the largest island in the An Thoi archipelago, located south of Phu Quoc island. Hon Thom covers only 5,710 square meters, with a population of around 3000 people, but in recent years it has become a very familiar name to the "hardcore fans" of the pearl island.

This small green paradise, seen from above, resembles a beautiful emerald standing out amidst the vast ocean, gifted by Mother Nature with crystal-clear blue beaches, unique rock formations stretching out to play with the waves, or pristine lush vegetation and vibrant coral reefs. The exquisite beauty of Hon Thom is praised by many international tourists, no less than the famous island paradise of the Maldives.

But Hon Thom is not just that. Besides its wild beauty, Hon Thom is also an island of "million joys" with attractive tourist facilities and experiences from Sun World Hon Thom - a beach entertainment complex of Sun Group Corporation.

1. Flying over sea and sky with Hon Thom cable car

In recent years, Hon Thom Cable Car has become one of the top keywords when mentioning Phu Quoc tourism. The 20-minute journey on the world's longest three-rope cable car system, recognized by the Guinness World Records organization, is worthy of being considered one of the most memorable travel experiences of a lifetime. The nearly 8km route takes visitors flying over pristine islands, ports with hundreds of colorful boats docked, creating a "unique picture" of Phu Quoc. That magical scenery constantly changes with the sunlight, sometimes clear in the dawn light with a sea-scented breeze, caressing a shimmering silver sea; or mysteriously enchanting with the sunset dyeing the horizon red, gilding the gentle waves.

At any time of day, Hon Thom cable car will make you feel like you've touched paradise.

In addition, there are still gentle experiences like the lazy river winding through shady coconut groves for families with young children or tourists who want to relax.

5. Explore the Mysterious Exotica Village

In Spanish, Exotica Village means Strange Village, and true to its name, Exotica Village holds fascinating mysteries of an unprecedented adventure "journey", with tough challenges that promise to ignite all senses.

Moc Xa Thinh No - Vietnam's first wooden roller coaster is the opening challenge for this special sea voyage. Since its appearance, Moc Xa Thinh No has become one of the must-try experiences when traveling to Phu Quoc. Made from wood imported directly from the US, designed and installed by world-leading experts, Moc Xa Thinh No is likened to the fury of the mythical wooden serpent, challenging the bravery of tourists who want to overcome their limits.

During a journey of over 2 minutes, with a length of nearly 900m of continuous twists and turns, visitors slowly climb the "giant snake's" spine to the top, followed by breathtaking drops like freefall from steep, winding slopes. The tilting turns, as if about to derail, reaching speeds of up to 80 km/h, will bring extreme excitement to visitors.

The second challenge at Exotica Village is "Eagle's Eye" - Vietnam's first 360-degree observation deck (Sky Tower) to date. Like the sharp eyes of an eagle, the ride gently lifts visitors off the ground and soars into the sky to a height of 80m. Here, the gondola cabin will slowly rotate in circles, gradually bringing the magnificent scenery of Hon Thom Island into the visitors' full view. The vast panorama encompasses the immense ocean and lush green tropical forests, along with the feeling of being close enough to touch the clouds, creating special emotions, making visitors passionately enjoy every moment.

Sun World Hon Thom announced that it will continue to launch "Whirlwind" - a challenging adventure where visitors will conquer fierce stormy seas, following the random route of the gondola along a 43m high steel mast. This will be the ride that perfectly completes the fascinating "sea voyage" at Exotica Village.
