  • Short tour from Ho Chi Minh City to Con Dao
    Con Dao is an offshore archipelago of Ba Ria – Vung Tau province which is 97 nautical miles from Vung Tau, and around 250 kilometres, or a 45-minute flight, from Ho Chi Minh City. In the archipelago, Con Dao is also the name of the largest island. Formerly, it used to be called Con Lon Island (Poulo Condor). Looking at map, Con Dao Island looks like a bear rising from the sea of the most southern point of the country. The archipelago comprises 16 islets with the total area of 76 square kilometers. Con Dao lies among the 21 national tourist bases of Vietnam. Most of the archipelago is now a National Park with some very nice beaches shaded with evergreen trees, fresh air, clear blue water with pristine coral, lush tropical forest with many flowers, coconut groves. It is considered the paradise for resort and exploration of the nature (the forest and the ocean). Coming to Con Dao, tourists will have chance to visit many historical relics where the former Vietnamese soldiers were once imprisoned. The story told by experienced tour guide will lead you to the lively history of Vietnam in the past. You may also buy some souvenirs and bathe on beautiful beaches.....
