Ride the world's longest over-sea cable car at opening time for uncrowded views over the archipelago, skipping the amusement-park scrum entirely.
What to expect
The 8km cabin ride takes about 20 minutes, suspended low over turquoise water and fishing boats between Phu Quoc and Hon Thom island. Arriving at opening, you'll have the viewing decks largely to yourself before families and package groups pour in around 10am. Skip the water park rides and instead walk the quieter shoreline trails on Hon Thom itself.
Good to know
Buy tickets online the day before to skip the ticket line; cabins depart from An Thoi station, about 25 minutes from the cruise pier. Two to three hours is plenty if you skip the amusement park attractions.
