Hon Tai

Con Dao · Vietnam

Hon Tai is Con Dao's premier reef site — a small island surrounded by healthy hard coral gardens running from 5 to 25 meters, with resident hawksbill turtles, prolific reef fish, and the occasional dugong sighting in the seagrass meadows adjacent to the reef. The site exemplifies why Con Dao National Park is considered Vietnam's most intact marine ecosystem, with table corals and staghorn formations rarely seen in comparable condition elsewhere in the South China Sea. Early morning dives here consistently produce the park's most diverse reef fish counts.
