In recent years, the sea turtle conservation work of Con Dao National Park has increasingly attracted many tourists to Con Dao. Organized for the first time by The Secret Con Dao and AKYN Hospitality Group, “Save Turtles Run” is a meaningful activity in the month of celebrating the hotel’s 2nd birthday with attractive programs and promotions, promising to bring memorable experiences to visitors.
Many tourists participate in "Save Turtles Run - Running for Sea Turtles".
Taking place on August 20, 2022, the 6km running distance will pass through the most beautiful roads in the center of Con Dao town. That is the Ton Duc Thang coastal road with rows of ancient heritage trees, Quang Trung lake - the largest freshwater reservoir on the island with clear blue water and fresh air. This experience will definitely leave a good impression on participants and at the same time contribute to promoting the destination of Con Dao.
In addition to the goal of raising community awareness of the value and importance of sea turtle conservation in Con Dao, “Save Turtles Run” also represents the core value of “Responsible Action” of The Secret Con Dao Hotel and AKYN Hospitality Group towards the environment and local community. This is expected to be an annual activity of the hotel and the Group to spread a healthy lifestyle and promote Con Dao as an ideal destination for modern travelers with dynamic and novel discovery experiences.
The race is organized by The Secret Con Dao and AKYN Hospitality Group.
On the occasion of the 2nd anniversary, The Secret Con Dao also introduces many promotional programs applicable until the end of August 2022 as a sincere gratitude to customers who have always supported the hotel in the past time. Typically, the "Anniversary Package" with prices from VND 3,000,000++/room/night, including a rich Asian-European buffet breakfast, dinner with a delicious BBQ seafood set and 02 special cocktails created by the talented bartender team of Sunset Lounge.

In particular, guests will experience the Secret Live music night with lively performances from the Soul Train band in the ancient space of The Secret Restaurant. Immersing yourself in great melodies while sipping a glass of aromatic wine and enjoying exquisite cuisine will be a wonderful journey for visitors to The Secret Con Dao on this memorable event.
Hon Cau Island cannot be left out of the Sea Turtle Rescue Journey in Con Dao, this is a nature reserve that is protected in perfect condition. The island only receives 50 visitors at a time to avoid maximum impact on nature, so the nature here still retains its wonderful pristine beauty with unique historical relics on the island.
Sea turtles are protected from the time they are in their eggs.
Here, after experiencing scuba diving at the coral reef with the marine ecosystem considered the best in Vietnam at present, visitors can experience watching sea turtles naturally come ashore to lay eggs at night, bringing the eggs to the hatching site to ensure maximum safety for the baby turtles.
Early in the morning, visitors will participate in releasing turtles into the natural environment following the correct sequence instructed by the ranger. Visitors will witness sea turtles that have not yet opened their eyes, finding their way to the sea based only on the sound of the ocean waves.
These tiny turtles face the challenges of nature to survive with a 1 in 1000 chance of survival with courage and resilience. The turtle that survives the journey of thousands of nautical miles will never forget, swimming back to the point from which it set out to lay eggs and continue the great journey of mother nature.
