We love a good waterpark — and wherever we travel as a family, we’re always on the lookout for one that genuinely works for kids and parents.
During our three weeks on the island, visiting a waterpark in Phu Quoc was high on the boys’ wishlist, so we decided to spend a full day at Aquatopia Waterpark Phu Quoc — one of the newest and biggest attractions on the island.
Opened in 2020 and set on its own island off the southern tip of Phu Quoc, Aquatopia combines huge flumes, brilliant kids’ play areas and a lazy river with one of the most impressive cable car rides in the world.
In this post, we’re sharing our honest, family-tested review of Aquatopia Waterpark Phu Quoc, including:
- what the slides are really like
- whether it’s worth the cost
- tips for visiting with kids of different ages
- and how to book tickets easily (including combo options with lunch)
If you’re planning a family trip to Phu Quoc and wondering whether Aquatopia is worth a day of your time — read on.

Where is Phu Quoc?
Phu Quoc is a large-ish island off the coast of Cambodia, but officially part of Vietnam. It’s a big tourist destination in Asia and is geared up for holidaymakers. It has long stretches of beautiful white sand beach and generally calm seas.
Phu Quoc is only a short ferry ride from Ha Tien in Vietnam. It also has an international airport with connecting flights across the region (including several a day to Ho Chi Minh City).
It’s a fab place for a family stay with kids, especially if you’ve been travelling elsewhere in Vietnam and want a beach resort style end to your travels.
Where are the best places to stay in Phu Quoc?
Phu Quoc has a wealth of family-friendly accommodation options if you’re travelling with kids. There really is something for every budget.
Our top choice for a budget, family friendly stay is Duong Dong Hotel. They offer great family rooms in a quiet location a short walk from the restaurants, beaches and shops of Duong Dong.
A family room here can set you back as little as £21/US$27 a night. With a decent-sized pool thrown in too, this is a real bargain stay!

How do you get to Aquatopia Waterpark, Phu Quoc?
Aquatopia Waterpark is part of the Hon Thom Island development off the far South of Phu Quoc island. It’s a whole island geared towards tourist fun, with the water park, a beach offering banana boat rides and other activities, a giant wooden rollercoaster, a rotating viewpoint and several cafes and restaurants.
To get to all of this fun you need to take the cable car from the station in Sunset Town. If you’re staying in or around Duong Dong town then a taxi will take around 25minutes and cost c. Vd200-300,000/£5.50-8.50/US$7.50-11.50.
Paying for a cable car ticket will give you entry to all the attractions on Hon Thom Island.
Riding the cable car is a fantastic experience in itself! It’s the world’s longest 3-wired cable car, stretching across a series of tiny islands (and quite an expanse of sea!) before reaching it’s destination. The views are stunning from every angle.
How much are tickets to Aquatopia Waterpark, Phu Quoc?
You don’t *actually* buy a ticket for Aquatopia Water Park – you buy a ticket for the Hon Thom Island Cable Car. Your cable car ticket also covers the cost of entry to the waterpark.
Return tickets for the cable car only are Vd650,000/£18.50/US$25 for adults and Vd500,000/£14/US$19 for children (under 140cm).
If you go for the package that includes a buffet lunch then the ticket price is Vd900,000/£25.50/US$35 for adults and Vd650,000/£18.50/US$25 for children (see the info further down on eating inside the waterpark).
It’s not the cheapest day out we did in Vietnam by any means – but it is such good value for a world-class waterpark. And given that the cost of living in Phu Quoc is pretty affordable, it’s definitely worth splashing out on this.
👉 Book your Aquatopia Waterpark Phu Quoc tickets here. Booking in advance locks in your cable car entry and waterpark access in one go — and saves queuing at Sunset Town, especially during peak season or school holidays.
What are the water slides like at Aquatopia Waterpark?
There’s a whole range of slides at Aquatopia suitable for kids (and adults!) of any age.
There are 8 ‘ring’ slides that you need an inflatable ring to go on that are all great for adrenaline seekers!
The park also features a number of racer slides that you go down either with or without a mat, all of which are fast. There’s also a couple of those terrifying chutes that drop you vertically through the floor – these are definitely not for the faint-hearted!
There’s a really big tropical beach styled pool with a wave machine; you can also take the inflatable rings in here.
For younger kids, the large and well-designed Monkey Beach splash park is brilliant – it has water guns, giant buckets that dump water on you and a whole series of different sized chutes and slides. This is one of the best water parks for younger kids that we’ve seen anywhere!
And when you need a bit of chill time, there’s a fabulous lazy river (the Lost Lagoon) where you can lie back and enjoy floating around.
As a very modern (and fairly new) water park, Aquatopia seems to have taken some of the best water slide designs we’ve seen from around the world and incorporated them in to the park.
The longest we had to queue was around 20-minutes for one of the bigger flumes. For the others we were able to pretty much walk straight on. Bear in mind that we visited in low season and this might be completely different when things are at their peak (generally December-May).
👉 If your kids love waterparks, Aquatopia is absolutely worth building into your Phu Quoc itinerary.

Are there any height restrictions at Aquatopia Waterpark?
There are some height restrictions on the bigger flumes. You can view the full list on the Hon Thom Island website here.
In general, most of the big flumes specify a minimum height of 120cm. If you’ve got smaller kids then there are still plenty of attractions for them to enjoy.
What did we enjoy most about Aquatopia Waterpark Phu Quoc?
The boys absolutely loved Monkey Beach, the kids water play area and happily spent ages playing in the pool there while we were able to chill out at the side.
We all really loved the flumes with the rings – Poseidon’s Revenge and Medusa’s Trap were particular favourites! There are a few that have some features that we haven’t seen before in waterparks (and we’ve been to quite a few!). This makes them a bit more unique and therefore a lot of fun.
How much is the food at Aquatopia Waterpark?
There are several snack stands at Aquatopia selling hotdogs, crisps and drinks. There are also two bigger restaurants if you need to refuel properly. These are the Mango House and Sun Buns. Mango House offers a buffet lunch (the one that will be included in your ticket if you go for the combo option that includes lunch). If you haven’t got this included in your ticket then it is Vd300,000/£8.50/US$11.50 for adults and Vd200,000/£5.50/US$7.50 for children.
Be aware that the Mango House gets very busy at lunchtime with tour groups, so you may have to wait.
We ate in Sun Buns which is a burger and fried chicken joint. The beef burgers in particular were really big and tasty and they had several combo meal deals. In total we spent Vd760,000 for four combo meals (including fries and drinks).
Top tips for a visit to Aquatopia Waterpark Phu Quoc
- No zips of any size are allowed on any of the water slides, and this IS enforced. Make sure your swimwear is completely free of zips and any other metal bits!
- Some rides require a minimum number of riders (i.e 3-4) so check this before queuing up, or be prepared to find others to share the ride with!
- In our experience, the park was busiest around lunchtime, so aim to arrive when it opens at 10am to get on some of the rides before the queues
FAQs for visiting Aquatopia Waterpark Phu Quoc
Aquatopia is the largest and most impressive waterpark in Phu Quoc. It offers a great mix of high-adrenaline slides, a fantastic kids’ splash area and a lazy river, making it well suited to families travelling with children of different ages.
Yes. The Monkey Beach splash park is excellent for younger kids, with shallow pools, water cannons, tipping buckets and smaller slides. There are plenty of areas where parents can relax nearby while still keeping an eye on children.
Most families will want to allow at least 4–6 hours at Aquatopia. This includes time for the cable car journey, enjoying the slides, lunch and some downtime in the lazy river or wave pool.
Yes, some of the bigger flumes have height restrictions, generally a minimum of 120cm. However, there are still lots of attractions available for smaller children, including the kids’ water play area and wave pool.
We think it offers good value, especially as the ticket price includes the return cable car ride to Hon Thom Island. The waterpark is modern, well-maintained and well-organised, and the cable car alone is a memorable experience.
It’s not essential in low season, but we recommend booking in advance during peak months (December–May) or school holidays. Pre-booking can also save time queueing at the cable car station.
Lunch is not included in the standard ticket. However, you can book a combo ticket that includes a buffet lunch at the Mango House restaurant, or you can pay separately to eat at one of the restaurants inside the park.
There are snack stands selling drinks and light bites, plus two main restaurants. The Mango House offers a buffet, while Sun Buns serves burgers and fried chicken, which is popular with kids.
Queue times depend on the season. We visited in low season and experienced very little waiting, with most rides being walk-on. Expect longer queues during peak travel periods and around lunchtime.
Make sure swimwear has no zips or metal parts, as these are not allowed on the slides. This rule is enforced. Water shoes can be useful for walking around the park, especially with kids.
Would we recommend Aquatopia Waterpark Phu Quoc?
Yes — this is easily one of the absolute best things to do in Phu Quoc.
Between the huge variety of slides, one of the best kids’ splash areas we’ve seen anywhere, minimal queueing (outside peak times), and the unforgettable cable car ride, it makes for a brilliant full-day trip.
The whole place was well-organised and well-staffed and our visit felt really easy. There was very little queuing for anything and it was easy to get around the park and on and off all the rides.
The boys still felt though the Escape! Penang and Waterbom Bali probably topped Aquatopia for them, but the added bonus of the cable car definitely makes Aquatopia well worth a trip.

We recommend booking ahead if you’re travelling during busy periods (December–May), as tour groups and combo lunch tickets can sell out.
