What Makes Vinpearl Cable Car Special
The Vinpearl Cable Car holds the Guinness World Record for the world's longest over-sea cable car - 3,320 metres of cable stretching from the Vinpearl pier on the Nha Trang mainland across the bay to Hòn Tre Island. The gondolas cross at approximately 50 metres above the water, providing aerial views over Nha Trang Bay, the city's beachfront, and on clear days, the surrounding islands of the bay. The cable car is the gateway to Vinpearl Land, the large resort and theme park complex on Hòn Tre developed by Vingroup - Vietnam's largest private conglomerate. The cable car itself is as much an attraction as a transport link: the 12-minute crossing over open water, with the bay spreading out in every direction below, is one of the more distinctive travel experiences available in coastal Vietnam.

How to Get There
🚗 Getting There
The Vinpearl Cable Car departs from the Vinpearl pier at the southern end of Trần Phú Street in Nha Trang, approximately 6km from the central beach area. The pier is accessible by taxi, Grab, or xe ôm from central Nha Trang (about 15 minutes). Tickets are purchased at the pier - the price includes the cable car crossing and entrance to Vinpearl Land on Hòn Tre Island. Ferry boats to Hòn Tre also depart from the same pier as a cheaper alternative.
What to Expect
👀 On the Ground
The gondolas hold 8 passengers and have glass walls on all sides. The crossing begins over the pier area, quickly moves over open water, and the views open up over the full bay within the first minute. At the midpoint of the crossing - approximately 1,660 metres from either shore - the perspective is at its most dramatic, with water in every direction and the Nha Trang skyline visible to the north. The Hòn Tre arrival station opens into Vinpearl Land - a large complex with a water park, theme park rides, an aquarium, restaurants, and a beach on the island's far side. The cable car back to the mainland runs until 10 PM, allowing a full day or an evening visit.
Travel Tips
🧳 Tips
The Vinpearl Cable Car is most worthwhile for travellers who specifically want the Vinpearl Land experience - families with children, or those who want a beach day on a private island. For travellers primarily interested in the cable car crossing itself, the ticket price (which bundles in the theme park entrance) is high relative to the 12-minute ride. The over-sea perspective is genuinely unlike any other cable car in Vietnam - the combination of bay, islands, and coastal city visible simultaneously is the defining view of Nha Trang from above.
