Con Dao considers as one of the most mysterious islands in South East Asia. It has the most beautiful and untouched beaches in Vietnam. Used to be known as a political prison in the past, nowadays, coming to Con Dao, travelers will also be surprised at the splendid beauty of the island. This is the largest island in the chain of 15 islands as well as islets. It is ringed with lovely beaches, scenic bays, coral reefs, and partially covered in thick forests. There are various activities for tourists to participate in; diving, hiking and exploring some empty coastal roads, deserted beaches, rich natural forests, white sandy beaches, and many historical sites. Cycling Saigon/HCM to Con Dao Islands

Leave the noisy city of Ho Chi Minh for an hour and a half, driving a private vehicle to Ngu Hiep village. Adjust saddle for a complete experience of the landscape, people, and Mekong Delta' cultures. We cross a small branch to Ngu Hiep Island, ride across fertile soil- fruit orchard farmland. Just about 12km reaching the ferry, which we get on for Tan Phong Island. It's very close to Cai Be township, just a ferry crossing in 10 minutes.  Enjoy a delicious lunch, local dishes at the local home. This incredible ride gives you so much time to experience water transport in rural villages by the Mekong River. Many small Islands in the Mekong River have primary and middle school only, so high school girls and boys travel on ferries to Cai Be. This is why many small boats with long-tailed engines spend much of their time carrying farm products to Cai Be land market and floating market. We will explore vibrant islands and local lifestyle, family workshops, and other exciting things before getting on our support vehicle for an hour driving to Can Tho.

Do check out and enjoy breakfast for the boat trip to the floating market. The boatman will steer his boat slowly through the floating market so that you see all things in action as it's close up so you could take more photos as you can. It's funny that many tiny sampans sell local breakfast; noodle soup, broken rice with porks, and coffee. Then we disembark the boat for the morning ride onwards to Tan Phu Thanh, Hau Giang. Right here, we get on our support van to Cai Tac township for lunch. If the weather were hot, we take a nap at a coffee shop -on the hammock to wait until it's cooler to start the afternoon adventures to Bat Pagoda.
