A guide to take full adventage of Con Dao
Con Dao, or Con Son, is a collection of islands in the southern province of Ba Ria - Vung Tau. Upon arriving here, you not only stand a chance to lay yourself flat on the pristine beaches, savor straight-from-the-sea food but also many other eco activities.
Flights to Con Dao depart from either Ho Chi Minh or Can Tho cities and will take you around one hour. Taking a boat from either city is another option. Some prefer the boat not because it's cheap but for the experience it offers. However, remember that the journey takes up to 14 hours (from 5 p.m. to 7 a.m.).
There are low montane Melaleuca forests inland, while along the coast are dry forests as well as shallow marine waters, coral reefs, seagrass beds, intertidal flats and mangrove forests. These wetland habitats are particularly intact and support a high biodiversity, it adds.
Prior to Con Dao National Park, Vietnam had five Ramsar sites: Ba Be National Park, Xuan Thuy Natural Wetland Reserve, Bau Sau, Tram Chim National Park and Mui Ca Mau National Park.
