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.
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.
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.
