Situated approx 230km from Ho Chi Minh City, the Con Dao archipelago is Vietnam's top marine sanctuary. Known for emerald waters and untouched reefs, it is a top destination for divers. At Amadive, we frequently encounter the query: "How to get to Con Dao from Ho Chi Minh City?"

### 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!
### Route 2: The Boat Option – Budget Friendly
Ideal for budget travelers. You can travel via Vung Tau or Soc Trang.
