Travelling
to Con Dao Island is now very easy. Tourists can go
there by air or sea. There are three flights from
the mainland to the island a week. It costs each tourist
VND 1.2 million for a return ticket.
If
tourists have more free time and want to save money,
they can go on a ship that sets out at Vung Tau city.
A ticket is priced at VND 50,000.
Con
Dao is still a wild island with nearly 20 beautiful
beaches, particularly Dam Trau, Hang Duong and Phi
Yen.
This
period of time coincides with the breeding season
of sea tortoises. During the tour, tourists have a
chance to see them giving eggs at the natural reserve
on the Bay Canh islet.
Apart
from tortoises, tourists can also meet dolphins or
dugong, the strange and precious sea bull.
If
tourists take the diving tour, they can view coral
reefs or go fishing on the Hon Tai islet.
This
area has 16 small and big islands, the biggest is
Con Son. Canoes will take tourists to call at every
island.
Travelling
to Con Dao, tourist guides will tell tourists the
story about Miss Vo Thi Sau and a heroic generation
of Vietnam. Tourists can also drop over Hang Duong
cemetery.
