Exploring “paradise island”
PANO – The picturesque island of Hon Thom attracts a lot of visitors with the immense surrounding sea and islets and the view of fishing boats with red flags, ready to advance toward high sea and the roofs of houses nestled in the coastal village.
Hon Thom belongs to the An Thoi grouping, north of Phu Quoc Island, Kien Giang province. Located in the middle of the immense sea, with its seductive beauty, Hon Thom is considered "Maldives of the Indian Ocean." With green coconut trees casting shadows on the sand beach that embraces the blue sea, Hon Thom island fascinates all nature lovers. The island is famous for not only its poetic beauty, but also for its related legends handed down from generation to generation.
Coming to Hon Thom paradise, visitors can experience activities such as bathing, offshore fishing or tours to pearl raising farms. To further explore the nature, you can rent diving kits to contemplate the colorful coral reefs and other creatures of the mysterious underwater world. You can then join local fishermen on their fishing boats and catch fish by their typical way.

Due to these interesting tourist products and services, Hon Thom attracts a lot of investors in entertainment and accommodation services. Instead of taking a 30-minute boat ride from An Thoi Port to Hon Thom, now tourists can travel for about 15 minutes by cable cars. The three-line cable car system has the length of nearly 8,900 meters, the longest one in the world. On the occasion of the Lunar New Year 2020, the Sun World Hon Thom Nature Park entertainment complex opened with various water activities. The highlight of the entertainment complex is the Hon Thom Aquatopia Water Park with more than 20 adventure games meeting the international standards.
According to Dang Minh Truong, Vice Chairman, and General Director of Sun Group, the Sun World Hon Thom Nature Park entertainment complex will contribute to bringing high-quality tourist products and services for Phu Quoc tourism, thereby promoting the number of visitors and their spending during their stay there.
