Guests gather at Tan Son Nhat Airport (domestic terminal). The tour guide will complete the check-in procedures for the flight to Con Dao.
Upon arrival, the vehicle and tour guide will take the group along a winding road lined with lush greenery connecting from the airport to the town center. Admire the natural scenery of majestic mountains, and in the distance, islands appear and disappear in the green expanse of the sea…
Guests visit the heroic Cultural and Historical Sites:
- Con Dao Museum: displays artifacts from the glorious history of the Vietnamese people.
- Con Dao Governor's Mansion: where the island governors lived and worked from 1862-1975.
- Phu Hai Prison: the largest and oldest prison in the Con Dao prison system.
- French-style tiger cages (Phu Tuong prison): explore the solid tiger cages built hidden among the buildings like a maze.
- American-style tiger cages (Phu Binh prison): with narrow, humid prison cells built in 1971. This was primarily used to mentally torture prisoners, and it was also where the first news of the liberation of Saigon was received.
