How to get to Pineapple Island
Being the biggest island of Hon Thom district, Pineapple Island or Hon Thom can be accessed by boats, canoes or by cable car. You need to get to An Thoi port because all boats depart there.
- You can call a cab to take you to the port, which is just 23 kilometers away from An Thoi port.
- But if you go by motorbike, take the Tran Hung Dao road and after just 30 minutes, you will reach the port.
From there, tourists can buy boat tickets to Hon Thom. If you choose the boat trip, it would take another 30 minutes but with speedboat, the journey will be shortened in half but the price is much higher.
