Getting to Phu Quoc ticket gates, distances and times
Editorial team · Checked 5 November 2026

In short
From Duong Dong, the drive to the An Thoi cable car station takes 30 to 40 minutes, and from the north allow about an hour each way. Renting a motorbike is the cheapest route for riders who are comfortable on a bike.
The cable car and VinWonders sit at opposite ends of the island, so distance shapes the day. From Duong Dong, the drive to the An Thoi cable car station takes 30 to 40 minutes. VinWonders is roughly 25 km from Duong Dong. The cable car changes its schedule and closes for maintenance, so message us on WhatsApp to check times.
How far is it from Duong Dong to the cable car?
The drive from Duong Dong to the An Thoi cable car station takes 30 to 40 minutes.
The start station, Anh Duong, sits inside Sunset Town at the southern tip of the island, in An Thoi. The end station is on Hon Thom Island. Allow time to park and find the ticket office, and leave a margin for traffic on the road south.
How do I get from the north to the cable car?
From the north, around Grand World, allow about an hour each way to the cable car.
Plan the trip as a long leg of the day rather than a quick hop. Renting a motorbike is the cheapest route for riders who are comfortable on a bike, while others can ask for a transfer on WhatsApp. Confirm the exact price in the chat before you pay for any transfer.
Where are VinWonders and its ticket office?
VinWonders is in the north, roughly 25 km from Duong Dong and about 35 km from the airport.
Use the northern route to reach the park. Check the exact gate and ticket office on WhatsApp before you arrive, since large parks can have more than one entrance. Ask which gate your pickup or ticket uses, so you do not walk to the wrong side.
Is there a free link between Grand World and VinWonders?
We do not have a verified timetable for a free shuttle, so ask before you plan around one.
Message us on WhatsApp to ask which transport links operate on your date and whether they reach your pickup point. Some operators include transfers in a package, so ask whether your quote includes them.
How do I ask for a ticket with pickup, and what about the schedule?
Message us on WhatsApp with the attraction, date, pickup point and group size, and we arrange it with local partners.
The cable car runs a limited number of trips in set windows and closes for a few days at a time for maintenance, so check before you go. Ask whether the quote includes pickup, transfer time and the ticket collection point, and confirm the exact price in the chat before you pay.

How do I reach the gate on time without rushing?
Leave early enough that the drive, parking and the ticket office all fit before your slot.
Use the times in the table to set your departure. The drive from Duong Dong to the An Thoi cable car station takes 30 to 40 minutes, so a late departure cuts into your time at the station. From the north, allow about an hour each way to the cable car, and build in a margin for the road.
If you ride a motorbike, check the fuel and the route before you leave, and ask whether your quote includes a helmet for each rider, since operators differ on what they provide. A rented motorbike is the cheapest route only if the ride is comfortable for you, so choose a taxi or pickup if you are not sure.
For the cable car, the trips run in set windows, so check the current windows on WhatsApp and aim for one that leaves margin before your next booking. Save your ticket details on your phone so you can show them quickly at the gate.
If you are combining the cable car with VinWonders, plan the north to south move in the morning rather than after lunch. Ask on WhatsApp which gate or ticket office your ticket uses, and whether pickup can drop you at the right one, so you do not circle a large site.
Share the plan with everyone in the group, including the time you must leave the hotel, the meeting point and the name of the gate you will use. If a delay happens, message us on WhatsApp as soon as you know, so the next step can be arranged while you are still on the road. Keep a charged phone and a power bank, since the route and the messages depend on it.
