The 2025 Guide: Travel from Saigon to Con Dao for Scuba Diving
Lying approx 230km from Ho Chi Minh City, the Con Dao archipelago is Vietnam's premier marine sanctuary. Famous for emerald waters and untouched reefs, it is a must-visit for ocean lovers. At Amadive, we frequently encounter the query: "What is the best way to travel to Con Dao?"
Below is your quick 2025 guide to reaching the best Diving in Con Dao.
### Route 1: Flying – The Quickest Way
For the fastest trip, flying is the top option.
* Route: HCMC (SGN) to Con Dao (VCS) via Vietnam Airlines (VASCO).
* Time: 45-55 minutes on an ATR-72 aircraft.
* Important for Divers: The planes are small. Pre-purchase extra baggage for your gear. Pack dive computers and cameras in your carry-on. Remember: Wait 18-24 hours after your last dive before flying!
### The Sea Route: Ferries
Great for saving money. You can connect via Vung Tau or Soc Trang.
1. Via Vung Tau: Bus to Vung Tau (~2hrs) + Con Dao Express Boat (~4hrs). Note: Seas can be rough from Oct-Feb.
2. Via Soc Trang: Sleeper bus to Soc Trang (~6hrs) + Superdong/Express Boat (~2.5hrs). This is the shortest sea crossing.
### Why Con Dao? The Pinnacle of Diving
Unlike crowded spots, Diving in Con Dao offers thriving reefs inside the National Park.
