Con Dao Motorbike Rental: 10 Best Options (2026 Guide)
Con Dao motorbike rental is simply the best way to explore this wild, beautiful island — the pristine Đầm Trầu beach, the moving prison-history sites, the Hàng Dương Cemetery and a coastal ring road with barely any traffic. This 2026 guide lists the 10 best places to rent on Côn Đảo, honest prices, the rules for foreigners, and the finest routes.
Why rent a motorbike on Côn Đảo?
There is a reason Con Dao motorbike rental is almost essential here: there are no ride-hailing apps and few taxis, and the island’s beaches, forests and historic sites are spread along a gloriously quiet coast road. A bike is the freedom to see it all.
Empty island roads
Côn Đảo’s ring road has almost no traffic — smooth tarmac, sea on one side, jungle on the other.
Reach hidden beaches
Đầm Trầu, Bãi Nhát and An Hải are best reached by bike, on your own schedule and light.
History at your pace
The prison camps, tiger cages and Hàng Dương Cemetery deserve quiet, unhurried visits.
Sunrises & viewpoints
Ride to Shark Bay and the Love Peak for the island’s best sunrise and coastal panoramas.
Con Dao motorbike rental prices (2026)
Rates are a little higher than the mainland because everything ships to the island. Expect these 2026 daily prices before fuel — most places drop the rate for multi-day hires.

How to rent a motorbike on Côn Đảo step by step
Sorting out your Con Dao motorbike rental is easy — most hotels and shops deliver to the airport or your door.
- Book ahead in peak season. March–September and holidays are busy on the small island — reserve before you fly in.
- Bring your papers. Passport, an International Driving Permit (1968 Vienna Convention) and your home licence.
- Inspect the bike. Test brakes, lights, horn and tyres, and photograph any existing scratches before you leave.
- Agree the deposit. Often just a passport or ID copy on the island — get the shop’s phone number too.
- Fill up in town. There are only a couple of petrol stations, so top up in Côn Sơn before a full-island loop.
- Save the shop’s Zalo. Handy on the quieter roads out to Bến Đầm or Đầm Trầu.
Licence & law for foreigners
The island is relaxed, but the same national rules apply.
The best motorbike routes on Côn Đảo
The coastal ring road
Circle Côn Sơn from town to Bến Đầm and back past Shark Bay — near-empty tarmac with constant sea views.
Đầm Trầu beach
Ride out past the airport to the island’s most beautiful beach, framed by forest and turquoise water.
Prison sites & Hàng Dương
The Côn Đảo Prison, the tiger cages, Pier 914 and the Hàng Dương Cemetery — a moving town loop.
Shark Bay & Love Peak
Climb to the Bãi Nhát viewpoints for the island’s best sunrise over the sea and the twin rocks.
Sở Rẫy & Ma Thiên Lãnh
A short ride to the forest trailhead and the poignant Ma Thiên Lãnh bridge ruins in the hills.
Bến Đầm & the west coast
Follow the coast to the fishing port and lighthouse views on the island’s quiet western side.
Safety & island tips
- Take the hill roads slowly — a few coastal climbs are steep and winding above the sea.
- Fill up in town; there are only a couple of petrol stations on the whole island.
- Ride in daylight — roads outside town are unlit and wildlife crosses at dusk.
- Watch the weather — the sea and wind pick up from October to February.
- Carry water and sun cover; shops are scarce beyond Côn Sơn town.
- Never disturb nesting turtles — visit Bảy Cạnh only on an official ranger tour.

Around 120,000–180,000₫ (about $5–7) a day for a scooter, a little more for a sport bike. Prices are slightly higher than the mainland because everything ships to the island.
Can foreigners legally rent and ride on Côn Đảo?
Yes. Carry an International Driving Permit (1968 Vienna Convention) plus your home licence and always wear a helmet. The island is quiet, but the national rules still apply.
Is a motorbike the best way to explore Côn Đảo?
Yes. There are no ride-hailing apps and few taxis, so a scooter is the freedom to reach the beaches, viewpoints and historic sites at your own pace.
Where can I rent a bike on the island?
From local shops in Côn Sơn town, from most hotels and guesthouses, or with airport and hotel delivery — many places meet you at Cỏ Ống airport or the ferry.
Where do I fill up with fuel?
There are only a couple of petrol stations, all near Côn Sơn town. Fill the tank before you set off on a full-island loop, as the coast roads are remote.
What is the best time to ride on Côn Đảo?
March to September has the calmest seas and driest weather. From October to February the wind and waves pick up, though the island is still rideable.
How do I get to Côn Đảo?
Fly from Ho Chi Minh City or Cần Thơ to Cỏ Ống airport, or take the fast ferry from Vũng Tàu or Sóc Trăng (Trần Đề), then rent a bike on arrival.
Is the coastal ring road hard to ride?
No — it is smooth and almost traffic-free, with a few gentle coastal climbs. It is one of the most relaxing island rides in Vietnam.
