Top Things to Do in Ganh Dau

An Thoi in the south is the departure point for the Hon Thom Cable Car (world's longest overwater cable car at 7.9km) and the gateway to island-hopping and snorkelling tours around the An Thoi archipelago's 18 islands. VinWonders theme park and Vinpearl Safari are also in the south — a full day's activity for families. Long Beach is the water sports hub — jet skiing, parasailing, kayaking, and SUP boards are available from the beach. Duong Dong town is the base for market visits, pepper farm tours, fish sauce factory tours, and the Phu Quoc Prison Museum. The national park in the north offers hiking through primary jungle. Sao Beach is best for a relaxed beach day with good swimming.

Yes — the Hon Thom Cable Car from An Thoi terminal to Hon Thom Island is genuinely spectacular. At 7.9km over open sea, the 15-minute ride offers panoramic views of the island cluster and the Gulf of Thailand that are unlike anything accessible by boat. Hon Thom Island at the far end has a beach, an amusement park (Aquatopia water park), and restaurants. Tickets cost VND 350,000 per adult (children under 1m free). Plan 3–4 hours for the round trip including time on Hon Thom Island. Combine with the An Thoi pier area for island-hopping snorkelling tours to make a full south-island day.

Snorkelling tours depart from the An Thoi pier area in the south and from the Bai Dat Do area (also south of Long Beach). Group tours visiting 3–4 islands in the An Thoi archipelago run daily for VND 350,000–600,000 per person all-in (boat, guide, equipment, lunch). Private speedboat charters to the same islands cost VND 2,500,000–4,000,000 for the boat. The reefs around the An Thoi islands are among Vietnam's best — healthy coral with good variety of reef fish in 3–10m of water. Conditions are best November–April during the dry season; May–October can have reduced visibility from river runoff and monsoon churn.
