An Island Sanctuary of Sea, Sand and Memory
Con Dao is an island sanctuary - a cluster of sixteen lush, mountainous isles rising from Vietnam’s southern sea, where untamed beauty coexists with deeply felt history. It’s the kind of place layered with stories: coral reefs teeming with life, whispering forests, pristine beaches cooled by sea breezes, and silent memorials of courage.Begin your stay on Bai Dat Doc, where dawn brings soft footsteps on golden sands and waves as clear as glass. Take a boat to Bay Canh, drop into private bays for snorkeling among vibrant corals and hidden reefs. Inland, trails wind through Con Dao National Park - orchids, endemic birds, and background echoes of jungle splendor await those who seek paths less walked.
Between these natural wonders are marks of human endurance: the former prisons of Con Dao, the French-built Tiger Cages, and Hang Duong Cemetery. They stand as silent sentinels to a past that shaped modern Vietnam. Yet today, as evening falls, turtles nest on the beach, tiny hatchlings dig toward the moonlit surf, revealing life’s enduring cadence.
With Viland Travel, your time eases between sea, forest, and remembrance. Mornings might begin with kayak drift at dawn, afternoons with marine hikes, and evenings with quiet contemplation beneath Con Dao’s fragrant pine trees. This is a place for slow discovery - where every moment is intimate, verdant, and marked by both nature’s grace and humankind’s resilience.
Highlights
- Hike to the peak of Mount Thanh Gia for sweeping island panoramas
- Tour the eco-conservation turtle hatchery at Bay Canh
