Ga An Thới — Hòn Thơm cable-car departure station

Start at the right station

Ga An Thới is in Sunset Town on the mainland; the other end of the journey is on Hòn Thơm. Keep that distinction in mind when arranging a car, choosing lunch or looking for a café described as being near the cable car.

If your group is heading to Hòn Thơm, use Ga An Thới as the meeting point. Preparing tickets and what you need to take before leaving your accommodation makes for an easier start. If you want photographs at the station, set aside time once you know when you need to board.

Eat before crossing, or on Hòn Thơm?

On the mainland, there are options within the station and in Sunset Town; on Hòn Thơm, restaurants and food counters serve the attraction area. Sun World distinguishes these two locations so visitors can choose meals around the part of the journey they are on.

You could have a meal before departure or leave lunch until you are on the island. Decide early whether the group wants the same style of meal. For a ticket that includes dining, check the exact venue and package inclusions to avoid going to the wrong place.

Make it part of a day in the south

A trip to Hòn Thơm can include Aquatopia and other attractions on the island. Sunset Town, on the Ga An Thới side, offers options for a walk and a meal after returning to the mainland, depending on that day's operating schedule.

If the island is your main plan, give that outing your attention before deciding on the evening. A day with time to change, rest and eat comfortably is often more enjoyable than a schedule that keeps everyone rushing.

Check the schedule before your visit

Check cable-car times, ticket inclusions and operating conditions for your intended date. Arrange the ride home after confirming the return to the mainland, and leave a buffer for reaching the station and getting the group together.
