| The_Davidson_Family | We took the Cham Island tour with our two kids (8 and 10). The speedboat ride was a thrill in itself! The snorkeling was safe, and the guides were great at helping the kids with their masks. The seafood lunch was generous and fresh. |
| Sarah J. | The water clarity at Hon Dai was amazing. I’ve done a few snorkeling trips in SE Asia, and this Cham Island snorkeling tour ranks high because of the healthy coral. The stop at the fishing village was a nice cultural touch. |
| Mike & Lisa | We wanted a Cham Island tour from Hoi An that wasn’t too rushed. This was perfect. Enough time to swim, eat, and relax on the hammock at Bai Chong. Uncle Bang’s garden was a cool little detour. |
| Nguyen T. | As a Vietnamese living abroad, taking the Cu Lao Cham Island tour brought back memories. The seafood is unbeatable. The guide explained the history of the island very well. |
| Emily Rose | A perfect half-day getaway. The Cham Island half-day tour is well timed, bringing you back to the hotel by mid-afternoon to relax. The beach is unspoiled, and the water is pleasantly warm. |
Yes, our speedboats are modern, well-maintained, and operated by licensed captains. However, the ride can be bumpy if the sea is choppy. We do not recommend this tour for pregnant women or guests with serious back injuries.
The Border Guard controls the departure of boats to Cham Island. If the weather is unsafe (high waves or storms), the Cham Island tour will be cancelled. In this case, we will offer a full refund or help you reschedule for the next available sunny day.
No. Cham Island is a plastic-free zone. Please do not bring single-use plastic bags to the island. We recommend bringing a reusable bag or backpack. This helps protect the marine environment you are coming to see.
Absolutely. You can wear a life jacket and float on the surface to see the coral, as the water is very buoyant and the reefs are shallow. Alternatively, you can stay on the boat or relax at the beach while others snorkel.
Yes, the restaurant can prepare a delicious vegetarian meal with tofu, eggs, and fresh vegetables. Please inform us of your dietary requirements when you book your Cham Island tour from Hoi An so we can arrange it in advance.
