Cham Island Snorkelling & Sightseeing Day Tour from Hoi An or Da Nang

  • Hoi An
  • Day trip
  • Small group
  • Hotel pickup

Speedboat from Cua Dai to Cham Island: the fishing village and Hai Tang Pagoda, about 45 minutes of snorkelling, beach time and a seafood lunch, with hotel pick-up in Hoi An or Da Nang.

Off the coast of Hoi An, the Cham Islands – Cu Lao Cham – are a UNESCO World Biosphere Reserve, with clear water, a protected marine area and a slow-moving island village. The speedboat from Cua Dai harbour gets you there in the cool of the morning.

Step ashore at Bai Lang to see the boat shelter, Hai Tang Pagoda and the traditional fishing village, then slip into the water for about 45 minutes of snorkelling. The rest of the day is unhurried: a beach at Bai Ong or Bai Chong, more swimming, and a seafood lunch before the boat back.
