The morning opens with a harbor breeze that pushes the boat out into the An Thoi archipelago and the island chain lays itself out like a series of green knuckles against the sky. You’ll board in Duong Dong and move toward Hon Thom’s silhouetted ridge, the cable car climbing like a slow bird while the sea below dares you to choose between a mask or a deck chair.

The morning opens with a harbor breeze that pushes the boat out into the An Thoi archipelago and the island chain lays itself out like a series of green knuckles against the sky. You’ll board in Duong Dong and move toward Hon Thom’s silhouetted ridge, the cable car climbing like a slow bird while the sea below dares you to choose between a mask or a deck chair.
This route threads modern attractions and traditional island life: Hon Thom’s Sun World development adds a compact water-park and panoramic cable car link, while Gam Ghi (Xuong) and May Rut islands are part of a coral-rich reef system shaped by the Gulf of Thailand’s currents. The islands have long supported small fishing communities; today tourism and aquaculture sit side-by-side with those livelihoods.
Expect three main stops: snorkeling over Gam Ghi’s shallow reefs, a beach and optional water-sports break at May Rut Trong, then Thom Island’s Sun World Nature Park and a cable car return timed to catch late-afternoon light.
Practical guidance: the tour runs about eight hours with hotel pickup in central Duong Dong; basic snorkeling gear, life jackets and lunch are provided. Reef-safe sunscreen and a snug mask make the experience better; currents can be stronger than they look so listen to guides and wear a life jacket if advised. Plan for sun and wet shoes, and keep a small dry bag for valuables. If weather forces cancellation, operators typically refund when conditions threaten safety.
