Thanh Lan, the season of the sea's call.

Although it lacks many tourist amenities, the island is suitable for those who love immersing themselves in nature and engaging in outdoor exploration and experiences.

Thanh Lan Island belongs to Co To Island District, located about 4 km from the main Co To Island – equivalent to a 20-minute boat ride. Visitors can also take a speedboat directly from Ao Tien Port (Van Don District), with a travel time of 1 hour and 30 minutes. Often described as a "green gem," Thanh Lan Island boasts rich vegetation, with over 70% of its area covered by natural forest, creating a lush green landscape that visitors can admire as soon as they step onto the pier.

Accommodation options on the island mainly consist of homestays, or you can bring camping gear to fully enjoy the natural surroundings. The island has few restaurants and eateries, so tourists often order meals directly from local accommodation providers or buy seafood to cook themselves. Because tourist routes and attractions are relatively new, most of the "guides" on the island are the homeowners or their children. Their enthusiasm and genuine nature are a plus, adding to the memorable experience.

From May to August is the best season for swimming, sunbathing, picnicking, and paddleboarding. The four most prominent beaches, known locally as Ba Chau Beach, Vung Tron Beach, Beach 76, and Hai Quan Beach, boast clear blue water, a gentle slope, fine sand, and are surrounded by spectacular rocky outcrops. Along the way, visitors can also explore trails under the cool forest canopy, wade through streams, climb to the summit of a mountain 210 meters above sea level, and listen to local stories about island life. In the mornings, besides watching the sunrise, many groups, especially families with children, are captivated by activities like clam and snail gathering, and visiting jellyfish processing factories. Those who enjoy adventure and are in good health can choose to take a boat trip to a deserted island for fishing or snorkeling to admire the coral reefs.

Currently, the local tourism industry is developing unique tourism products that adhere to green criteria and conserve natural resources. And Thanh Lan is ready to welcome you to a vibrant summer filled with golden sunshine and blue sea.
