A Haven for Endangered Marine Wildlife
Con Dao National Park protects Vietnam's most crucial nesting habitat for endangered green sea turtles (Chelonia mydas). Between May and October, hundreds of mother turtles crawl ashore at night on Bay Canh Island to lay eggs under ranger supervision.
"Con Dao is peaceful, raw, and strikingly beautiful. You can drive a motorbike along empty coastal switchbacks with wild dolphins leaping in the surf below," notes marine biologist Nguyen Hai.
