Explore the Islands by Boat

A relaxed island-hopping trip lets you visit quiet bays, coral areas, and small beaches that are only accessible by boat. It’s a flexible option if you want a mix of swimming, snorkeling, and low-key exploration during your Private Con Dao Tour.

Itinerary

  • Con Dao has a tropical island climate with warm temperatures all year, but conditions change clearly between the dry and rainy seasons. The driest months are usually from November to April, when seas are calmer and boat trips and beach time are more reliable. From May to October you can expect higher humidity, more rain and at times rougher sea conditions, especially during tropical depressions. Underwater visibility for diving and snorkeling is often best between March and July. For most private itineraries, the late dry season and early rainy season offer a good balance of stability and greenery.
  • Any meals arranged on a private Con Dao tour can be adapted for vegetarian, vegan or common food allergies when they are part of your itinerary.
  • Boats, local guides and specialist activities on Con Dao are limited and can book out quickly during Vietnamese holidays and peak beach-travel periods.
  • All cancellation conditions for Local Vietnam apply; you can read the full policy on our cancellation policy page.
