Speedboat from Hoi An to Cu Lao Cham: museum stops, village views, snorkeling gear, seafood lunch, and beach time on a UNESCO reserve.
“The island itself is beautiful, you cannot take that away from it. We arrived at the port to be harassed for 20 minutes by the locals trying to sell you hats, sun cream, waterproof cases and towels, literally do not leave you alone. We then got on the speed boat which was cramped and taken to an island to look at a well and temple which again was fine but would of liked to be told about the trip as we thought we was snorkelling most of the morning. We end up getting in the sea 2 and half hours later to snorkel 🤿 after another stop for others to…”

“Wonderful trip by boat to Cham Island from Houston An dock took about 50 min. Jimmy was a great tour leader and kept us informed of all the activities. Anchored and went snorkeling for 30 min - very wonderful coral - many varieties. Lots of small fish and amazing colorful starfish. Then the hi-light sea walking. What an unbelievable experience. Lots of fish to see and the diving hood was very easy and comfortable. Our safety diver was great and he took super videos. Then took a ride in a basket boat - how do they do this. Lots of fun. On to another beach for a wonderful lunch and…”
Snorkel UNESCO Cham Island from Hoi An or Da Nang, ride a traditional wooden boat, then enjoy seafood lunch and hammock time at Bai Chong.
“Thanks SeaTrek for providing me a wonderful scuba diving trip. It was fantastic to enjoy a calm sea and observe the beautiful coral reefs under the sea of Cham Island. The coral populations and other marine species in this area actually are not too much, but still be known as one of the most diverse ecosystem on the planet. It was excited to feed some breads ("banh mi") for the fishes. Even if you don't wanna dive, just lie down on the sand in the sun, and relax!!! Don't forget there are 2 snorkeling spots off the island, so prepare your swimming stuffs for both before you leave the boat.…”

Speedboat to Cu Lao Cham from Hoi An or Da Nang, with Lang Beach time, pagoda + museum stops, seafood lunch, and snorkeling.
“The boat ride was fun and spending time on the lovely beach after lunch was nice. Snorkeling was very disappointing , not much to see and there were stingers in the water. Marine museum was also ordinary. Old well was nice to cool down at. Very busy. Lunch was ok, but nothing special. We didn’t receive water as stated in itenary.”

Escape Hoi An to Cham Island for Bai Lang culture, Champa Well, Hai Tang Pagoda, Bai Xep snorkeling, and Bai Chong beach time.
“I had mistakenly assumed that we would be going on a snorkeling trip. Instead, we only had 40 minutes. The highly praised equipment consisted of a snorkel and goggles. There weren't enough fins for everyone. The reef itself was surprisingly beautiful and full of blue starfish and lemon-yellow fish! On the island, we looked at a room full of jars with fish bleached by the sun. Then we were transported to the next location. The part of the group that paid extra to go diving was very disappointed. It was described to me as a 10-minute trip, during which visitors were transported from one guide to the next like pieces…”

Cham Island speedboat trip from Hoi An or Da Nang with Marine Protected Area visits, then snorkeling and a seafood lunch on the coast.
“tour was to say the least rather unstructured. we had to leave early but then we waited an hour and a half in the harbor before the boat arrived. on the island we only did a 10 minute round and didn't see the pagoda or the fishing boats. snorkeling was nice (not the most beautiful place in the world) but still nice. guide barely spoke English and was rushing and calling all day while nothing was going on. lunch and the beach in the afternoon was nice. however a tour with only an hour of snorkeling was more than enough since you also have a good beach in Da Nang…”
