Overview

Spend a tranquil and unforgettable night on Bay Canh Island, one of Con Dao’s most vital sea turtle nesting sites. From May to October, visitors have the rare chance to witness green turtles (Chelonia mydas) coming ashore to nest under the moonlight. Alongside this mesmerizing experience, explore the lush mangroves where “Tank Crabs” (Cardisoma canifex) prowl through the mudflats in search of prey.
