On land

Just steps from your villa or suite are a multitude of options for sports and recreation.

Two Wheels and the Road
Nothing says Vietnam more than a bicycle or motorbike. These are the staple methods of transport around the country and Con Dao is no exception. Approximately five kilometers away is the main town, the market, historical sites, beautiful scenery and friendly locals; why not join in the bustle of everyday life while riding along the main road?

Con Dao Local Life Tour
Discover the island and find out what authentic Con Dao daily life is about. Travel across the island with your guide, through the back roads, small dwellings and local agricultural plots. Along the way you'll see Ben Dam Harbor, Nhat Beach and Shark Cape, Van Son Tu Pagoda, the Shrine to Lady Phi Yen and a local market. Your trip will culminate over a traditional Vietnamese coffee.

Con Dao Historical Tour
This tour explores the rich history of Con Dao and will delve into its darker side. A series of prison systems were constructed throughout the 113 years of colonization, during which time many thousands of prisoners where interred here. Along the way you'll explore the Con Dao Museum, Phu Hai Prison ? Bagne I, French Tiger Cage, American Tiger Cage and Hang Duong Cemetery.

Sense of Respect
Every night, a pilgrimage occurs in Con Dao. Visitors to the island go to pay their respects to the fallen heroes of Vietnam's struggle for independence, that now lie peacefully at Hang Duong Cemetery. It stands not only as a memorial to those who gave their lives, but also as a testament to the will and strength of the Vietnamese people.

Hit the High Spots
Listen carefully and you will be able to distinguish between different types of birds and cicadas. At the So Ray platform ? an old fruit plantation site ? it is very common to see the Con Dao Long Tailed Macaque Monkey. At a height of 853 feet (260 meters) above sea level, the old lookout is also the perfect place for a panoramic view over Con Son Bay.

Up & Over Con Dao
For those who are more energetic, rather than stopping at the So Ray platform we continue to hike deep into the jungle, surrounded by lianas (climbing vines) and lush vegetation, through to the far side of Con Son. This additional trail takes you where few others go. On the far side you can relax in the clear waters off the peninsula between Ong Cau and Ong Dung Bay.

Coastline Trekking to Dam Tre Bay
Trek along the coast of Con Dao heading east towards Dam Tre Bay and then paddle across Vong Bay with your guide. Spot sea birds, pass friendly fisherman or simply enjoy the view.

Trekking to the Lighthouse
A 30-minute ride by speedboat brings you to the beautiful island of Bay Canh where you can trek through the dense forest to Bay Canh Lighthouse, build between 1883 and 1885. Enjoy the most amazing view and let your eyes wander over the Con Dao archipelago and the South Sea. Have a rest in the lovely garden surrounding the lighthouse and meet the keepers, who are always delighted to receive guests.

Golf
Feed the Fish Golf
While we don't have the space for a full 18 holes, we do have a lot of ocean. Using our EcoBioBalls® you are able to practice your swing and knock a few into the water from the Elephant Mountain Platform. EcoBioBalls® dissolve in 48 hours and the remains serve as fish food. For the least disturbance to natural feeding habits, we limit the number of balls played daily to a maximum of 60.

Turtle
Sea turtle incubation and research
We've restored our beach to optimize egg laying for green turtles and decrease the mortality rate of turtle hatchings. This ambitious project in cooperation with Con Dao National Park authorities, included a safe incubation enclosure to protect eggs from threats such as poaching. Guests are encouraged to participate in ethical hatchling releases. If lucky enough you will get to watch a mama sea turtle laying her eggs right on the resort premise.
Our efforts also extend to conducting training programs on sea turtle conservation for our hosts and in the local community, with a vision to involve more marine scientists in research projects on the future of the turtles around Con Dao.

On the water

Island Escapes and Boat Charters
Con Dao archipelago has 15 local inlets, hidden bays and off the beaten track beaches. For a truly unique experience you can customize your boat trip around Con Dao, stop for island picnics on the way or find your favorite snorkeling spot.

Private Sunset Getaway
Travel by boat to the Western side of Con Dao, passing Ca Map Cape (Shark Cape) and Dinh Tinh Yeu (Lovers Peak) before stopping on the far side of Hon Ba (Grandmother Island). Here you?ll witness an overwhelming display of colors as the sun slowly dips over the horizon.

Diving
Con Dao Dive Center was originally formed to cater for the high level of diving service and safety expected by Six Senses guests. Con Dao Dive Center prides itself on the extensive diving experience of its instructors coupled with their local knowledge of the diving around Con Dao.

Just Snorkeling
A speedboat will take you to Hon Tai and Bay Canh or Cau islands to discover the underwater life surrounding Vietnam?s premier marine protected area. We know the perfect spots where you will see some of the documented 1,493 species of marine life and the best coral formations in the country.

Other Water Sports
Novices and experienced water-sporters have a range of fun activities on hand. Kayaking on the bay can be fun as a single or double activity. Become a master at stand up paddle boarding or catch some waves with body boarding. Stick to the shallows and slide across the water with skimboards. There's lots to enjoy and tips are available from our experienced hosts.

Family

Why escape the family when you can escape with them?
Excursions and escapades suitable for the whole family whether young or young at heart. Children can play (and learn a little too) all day long at our children's club. Adults can laze the days away on the sun terrace, enjoy leisurely lunches, get up and go on or under the water and ultimately surrender to the healing hands of a spa therapist.
