Con Dao Vietnam - the mysterious island of East Sea
Con Dao islands are a group of 16 islands. The largest island is known as Con Son. The entire archipelago falls under the oversight of the Con Dao National Park.
The Con Dao Islands separated from the mainland about 15,000 years ago. This has resulted in the development of dozens of undiscovered or undocumented species of wildlife.
Besides having an interesting history, (Marco Polo even stopped over) Con Dao is also an island of immense natural beauty with forested hills, deserted sandy beaches and extensive coral reefs making for some excellent diving.
Although it seems something of an island paradise, Con Son was once hell on earth for the thousands of prisoners who languished in confinement here in no less than a dozen jails during French rule and the American-backed regime.

Con Dao Islands travel: VIETNAM'S MUST VISIT DESTINATION
If you want to experience the best beaches and absolute stunning island scenery in Vietnam, then I highly recommend visiting Con Dao. Traveling there is easy because there are many direct flights from Saigon everyday to Con Dao. You can also take a 12 hour boat ride, but who has time for that? A great thing to do is rent a motorbike and ride around the island for fun. This was what I did along with Lan from
We stopped by Dam Trau beach for some of the best crabs I've ever eaten in my entire life. The seafood on Con Dao really was cheap and tasty. Then we rode around some more and appreciated the stunning beaches and blue waters. When the sunset arrived we hit the pier and had a beach tarp seafood picnic with this juicy grilled fish, squid, and some giant conch. Overall, it was one of the best island days I've ever had.

Con Dao Island is voted as one of 10 most beautiful and mysterious islands around the world by Travel&Leisure, it is today being chosen as a paradise for leisure travel and for exploring nature even though it was the obssession of Vietnamese people during the wars as it is known as the hell of the world in Vietnam when it was once a prison of no return
For decades the main settlement of Con Son was used by the French and Americans as an island prison for anti-regime activists and criminals. Several of these jails are now deeply moving, harrowing sights to visit. History aside, Con Dao is blessed with stunning beaches and rich coral reefs that represent the best diving in Vietnam, The islands have been declared a National Park, and there are rewarding rain forest hikes to remote bays., Con Dao is really a magic place of Southern part of Vietnam.

Pluses:
Everything. From the luscious and nearly overwhelming breakfast, the beautiful beach which is nice for snorkeling and the incredible friendly and very helpful staff to the absolute amazing villa with private pool. We stayed for two nights and fell in love with the place.
Extremely friendly and attentive staff. Best unlimited ice cream and very comfortable room.
Fantastic house, great views , beautiful resort and an isolated Beach great breakfast
Minuses:
Nothing special/memorable for couples on their honeymoon. Only a plate of chocolate mangoes was served.
Ridicoulusly expensive!, not only the hotel at + 600€ night which you know when you make reservations, but once you arrive at the hotel they really overcharge the guests for everything (except the icecream). For exemple local beer 8€, the winelist starts at +100€. Dinner was good but never less than 150€/person excl drinks.
There are a few really good restaurants in the village 20 minutes away.
We stayed 5 nights which is too long since there is not much to do on the island

What TO DO in CON DAO ISLANDS, Vietnam (2020)
Introducing what to do on your vacation in Con Dao Islands, Vietnam, 2020.
Right now I have been discovering the Myths and Legends about this amazing nature paradise for 1,5 months and really like about its silent beaches, green jungle, mountains, fresh air, monkeys, silence and warmly locals.
This destination is a perfect holiday spot for Honey Moon, families, couples, photographers, filmmakers, backpackers and explorers after spending some time in noisy and hectic Ho Chi Minh City (Saigon).
On this video, you can see my local friend Giang exploring the island with different activities. When filming it was a cloudy day, but normally it’s sunny every day even now in December it’s still windy season.
Giang is really passionate about mindfulness, meditation and photography. She opened few days ago Instagram account about her lifestyle. You can see her adventures by following @giang_jii

Option 3: if you want to go extreme, take an overnight ferry from Vung Tau to Con Dao. It leaves early on the morning and you can experience the local lifestyle and amazing sunrise while travelling on the ocean. Price 300 000 VND
Tragic history
At same time Con Dao is a natural paradise, but we can not forget its tragic history as a Prison Island where so many Vietnamese people lost their lives. Many prisons are now museums and you can visit to see horrible “Tiger cages” where prisoners had to fight every second about staying a life.

Con Dao - Het mooiste eiland van Vietnam
De Con Dao eilanden. Een van de meest bijzondere en idyllische plekken in Vietnam. Lange tijd was deze plek een ware hel voor de vele politieke gevangen die hier in de beruchte tigercages zaten. In dit filmpje kijken wij vooral naar beelden die deze plek de mooiste eilandengroep van het land maakt.
Con Dao is te bereiken met een korte vlucht vanuit Ho Chi Minh City of een comfortabele boottocht vanuit Soc Trang.
Voor meer informatie over deze bijzondere archipel moet je zeker even de pagina op de website bekijken.
[Vivutravel] Con Dao island, Vietnam travel
Con Dao island is one of the top Vietnam destinations that should not be missed during your Vietnam tour to escape from the tourist trap. After a 60-minute plane ride from the hectic streets of Ho Chi Minh City, the first thing you notice is the silence. The island is where ocean, earth and sky joined harmoniously. Travelling to Con Dao, especially in summer months, you will get to enjoy the fresh of tropical islands and waters.
Vietnam tour to Con Dao Islands
You’re likely to experience two sides to the Con Dao islands when you visit: one day spent swimming in the clear sea, walking upon white sand beaches, driving along deserted coast roads, and drinking cocktails on the seafront promenade; another spent visiting the prisons, learning about the history and national heroes.
In terms of sea sports or any water activities, Con Dao without a doubt has the best diving in Vietnam. Snorkeling and diving are superb choices for visitors to discover the beauty of the coral reefs, from March to September. Tourists can rent equipment from Rainbow divers or Dive! Dive! Dive!
After playing a lot, surely that you need to refill your energy, and Con Dao actually has delicious dishes to fill your stomach. Some specialties cannot be missed are Vu Nang sea snails, Moon crabs – the crab living mostly in Con Dao and its meat very fresh at moon rising time. And don’t forget to order some beers or mixed drinks to fascinate the tastes.

Con Dao was recognized as a nature reserve in 1984 and a national park in 1993. The total protected area of the park is 20,000ha, including 14,000ha of sea and 6,000ha of forest on 14 islands. There is also a buffer zone that is 20,500ha wide. Con Dao National Park encompasses oceanic and coastal ecosystems such as mangrove forests, coral reefs and sea grasslands. Over 1,300 species of sea animals have been identified here. The park is the most important egg-laying area in Vietnam for sea turtles. The island also has many precious animals, the most important being dugong (called sea cows by locals). Between late 1996 and early 1997, officials at the park counted 10 dugong in the sea surrounding the island. With high oceanic biodiversity, Con Dao is classified as one of the areas given optimum priority in the world's system of oceanic reserves.
