Nha Trang Bay · Khanh Hoa, Vietnam

Nha Trang Cable Car

8 minutes in a cabin over open sea, from the Nha Trang seafront out to Hon Tre island.

Tickets

The Nha Trang Cable Car is the Vinpearl gondola line across Nha Trang Bay. It runs from a station on the city's seafront road to Hon Tre island, where the VinWonders theme park and the Vinpearl Harbour shopping and dining quarter sit on the shore.

The first line opened in 2007 and was the world's longest sea-crossing cable car until the Phu Quoc line took the Guinness record in 2018. In January 2024 a new Doppelmayr system replaced it, faster and with larger cabins.

What the Nha Trang Cable Car offers

01

Open sea below

Almost the whole line runs over the bay, with the city and its hills behind you on the way out.

02

Sunset and night rides

The cabins run until 22:00, so you can ride out in the late afternoon and come back after dark over the lit-up line.

03

VinWonders at the far end

The theme park on Hon Tre has rides, a water park and an aquarium; its ticket includes the return cable car.

04

Vinpearl Harbour

Shops, restaurants and evening shows by the island station, open to anyone with a cable-car-only ticket.

05

Runs in most weather

Rain and moderate wind do not stop the cabins. When a storm does, speedboats take ticket holders to the island at no extra charge.

06

Shows after dark

At Vinpearl Harbour a water music show starts at 19:00 and the Tata Show at 19:30; the evening ticket covers both.

The cable car route

Two stations and nothing in between: you board on the Nha Trang seafront and get off at Vinpearl Harbour on Hon Tre.

Nha Trang Cable Car tickets and prices

Most visitors ride on a VinWonders ticket, which includes the return cable car. A cable-car-only ticket takes you to Vinpearl Harbour but not into the VinWonders theme park.

Children under 100 cm ride free. From 100 cm, cable-car-only tickets cost the adult price. Most tickets are for the date you choose and cannot be cancelled.
