Overview

This Bamboo Lagoon Con Dao tour is a 9-hour forest-and-sea experience for travelers who want more than a quick beach stop. From Con Dao Town, the route moves from Vong Beach to forest trails, Bamboo Lagoon (vịnh Đầm Tre), coral reef snorkeling, giant clam habitat, lunch at a ranger station, and an old-road return.

Choose this Bamboo Lagoon Con Dao tour if you want one guided day that feels active but well paced: a coastal walk, shaded forest, protected lagoon scenery, and time in the water when conditions allow. If you want another full-day forest-and-beach route, compare it with the Dat Tham Beach tour. If you prefer a shorter program with beach time and lighter timing, review the Ong Cau Beach tour.

Highlights

Experience the Bamboo Lagoon Con Dao tour as a full-day route that connects beach walking, forest hiking, lagoon scenery, and snorkeling.
Walk 2 km along Vong Beach (Bãi Vông) before entering the forest trail.
Hike through Con Dao forest with chances to see long-tailed monkeys, black squirrels, lizards, and ancient vines.
Reach Bamboo Lagoon (vịnh Đầm Tre) in northeast Con Dao, a protected area connected to the open sea.
Snorkel around coral reefs and observe giant clams with guide-provided equipment.
Enjoy lunch at a ranger station before returning by the old road.

Itinerary

Pick Up in Con Dao Town

At 8:00 AM, your Bamboo Lagoon Con Dao tour starts with pickup in Con Dao Town and a transfer toward the airport area by air-conditioned car. This keeps the logistics simple before the walking route begins near Vong Beach (Bãi Vông).

Vong Beach Walk

At 8:30 AM, begin with a 2 km walk along Vong Beach. The sand, open coast, and sea breeze create an easy opening before the forest section, so the day starts with scenery rather than a rushed transfer.

Con Dao Forest Hike

At 9:00 AM, enter the forest trail toward Bamboo Lagoon. Your guide helps you notice Con Dao's rare flora and fauna, with possible sightings of long-tailed monkeys, black squirrels, lizards, and ancient vines stretching more than 100 meters through the canopy.

You will get to see wildlife, especially long-tailed monkeys.

Bamboo Lagoon

At 10:15 AM, leave the forest and reach Bamboo Lagoon in northeast Con Dao. The lagoon connects to the open sea and serves as a protected giant clam habitat within Con Dao National Park, giving this Bamboo Lagoon Con Dao tour a clear marine-conservation focus.

Snorkeling Adventure

At 10:30 AM, your guide provides snorkeling equipment for exploring coral reefs and observing giant clams. This is the strongest reason to choose this route over a forest-only hike: you can combine Con Dao forest hiking with a guided snorkeling section in one day. At 11:15 AM, bathe in clean water after snorkeling.

Lunch at Ranger Station

At 11:45 AM, have lunch at a ranger station and rest before the afternoon return. This break gives the day a steadier pace after the beach walk, forest hike, and snorkeling activity.

The National Park Con Dao & other ranger stations sell entrance tickets, maps and free information

Old Road Trek

At 2:00 PM, follow the old road back toward town instead of repeating the same route. The walk keeps the day scenic, with a calmer transition from lagoon and forest back to the island road.

Return to Town

At 5:00 PM, the car returns to Con Dao Town, completing a 9-hour Bamboo Lagoon Con Dao tour through forest, lagoon, reef, and coast.

The Bamboo Lagoon Con Dao Tour had the perfect balance between hiking and snorkeling. It never felt rushed even though it was a full-day program.

The snorkeling section at Bamboo Lagoon was honestly much better than I expected. Clear water and lots of coral around the rocks.

The walk back along the old road was surprisingly relaxing after the more active morning activities.
