Day Trips – Dimo travel

A day tour with some history. First we depart for the infamous Coconut prison or Cay dua Jail. Built for the Indochina french war originally, it was re-purposed to house the captured prisoners of North Vietnam during the American-Vietnam war. It is raw and visceral and shows that ideology gives no level of comfort in war for the either side. The prison was reconstructed in 1996 and rebuilt to show the conditions captured prisoners were forced to endure. The "catso tiger cage" and the other torture devices are on display housing mock prisoners. The escape tunnels have also been excavated and you can walk along side them to appreciate the dedication it must have taken to dig over 20 meters through solid ground just to return to the battle.

Next we visit the Ho Quoc pagoda. It is a stunningly beautiful temple built on the side of a mountain overlooking the sea. The view is breathtaking and temple will fill leave you in awe. The archteture is amazing with a mix of new and old. We will explore the grounds and might even find monkeys hiding in the bush.

Our final stop is the one of the islands most interesting adventures. The Phu Quoc honey bee farm. Here we will learn about honey bee conservation, their life cycles and the importance that bees have in our food and farming.

Get your tight pants on and get ready to ride.

Full day bike tour to see the beautiful island of Phu Quoc. First stop the Ridgeback dog conservation center. Witness these incredible dogs as they race through the obstacle course over jumps, through water and around barricades. Next stop is the Sim wine distillery where we will learn how to make the local wine as it has been passed down through thousands of years. After a short ride we will come again to a local garden where we will pick fresh fruit and make the island specialty mango salad for lunch. Finally the last stop on our tour is a local fishing village where we will learn to catch sea urchins right from the sea.
