Con Dao National Park, National park in Ba Ria-Vung Tau province, Vietnam.
Con Dao National Park is a protected area in Ba Ria-Vung Tau province that spreads across multiple islands and surrounding waters. It includes forested land and large marine zones with coral reefs and underwater meadows.
The park was established in 1993 to preserve the natural landscape of southeastern Vietnam. These islands have served as important habitats for diverse plant and animal life throughout their existence.
This place is where visitors encounter the local role of nature protection in action, with rare marine animals moving through protected waters. The islands serve as a visible refuge for species that people here have learned to value and protect over time.
The best way to explore the area is by boat from Con Son Island or on guided walks through the forests. Water conditions vary by season, so check conditions before you visit.
Visitors can observe seagrass meadows that feed rare species like dugongs and sea turtles. These underwater gardens are hidden from casual view but crucial for these animals to survive.
