Kayaking transparently, watching turtles lay eggs and "hunting" for planes are activities that tourists should not miss when visiting Con Dao.
Con Dao is an offshore archipelago in Ba Ria - Vung Tau province. March to September is a favorable time to explore Con Dao. The weather is pleasant, sunny, the sea is calm, suitable for both indoor and outdoor activities.
In addition to its famous spiritual tourism activities, this destination also attracts visitors with its unique experiences. Below are 3 suggestions for your trip on this island.
Transparent kayaking
At beach tourist destinations, water adventure games such as SUP, kayaking, paragliding... also receive the attention of many tourists.
In Con Dao, you can upgrade your experience with a transparent kayak. Unlike the usual type, the boat is made of a material specialized for designing airplane windows, transparent and sturdy.
Hon Trac is a place chosen by many service units and tourists to kayak throughout. The sea water here is clear blue, you can see through the sandy bottom, creating a unique effect for guests sitting in the boat.
This activity is usually included in a tour of 4 or 5 islands. The price will range from 800,000-1.1 million VND/person. When you receive the boat, the staff will instruct you on basic techniques and how to handle situations.
Watch turtles lay eggs
The sea turtle breeding season is from April to October, with the peak being from July to September each year. In Con Dao, the beach at Hon Bay Canh is one of the familiar nesting spots for turtles.
This activity attracts the attention of both domestic and foreign tourists, so the tours are quite crowded, so you should book early. Depending on the tide, the time when mother turtles come ashore to lay eggs ranges from midnight to dawn.
During the process of watching turtles lay eggs, you need to strictly follow the rules such as: keep quiet, do not touch the mother turtle, do not use flash...
The tour operator will prepare all the necessary items for this activity. However, visitors should also prepare insect repellent and some snacks.
"Hunting" for planes
Dam Trau Beach is about 15 km from the island center, located next to Co Ong Airport (Con Dao Airport), so visitors can stand on the beach and "hunt" for the scene of planes preparing to land.
You will be able to observe the plane from a distance to a close-up, gradually becoming clear and flying right above your head. However, the scene of the plane landing only lasts about 30 seconds, so visitors need to be ready to take beautiful photos.
Con Dao airport is expected to close for upgrades from April 2023. If you want to have unique check-in photos, visitors should arrange their trip early.
In addition, Dam Trau beach also attracts tourists by its wild natural beauty. This is also one of the beautiful sunset viewing spots in Con Dao.
