Cu Lao Cham Island Tour from Da Nang/ Hoi An

Excellent sites and if you love snorkeling this is very much for you to go. I will recommend this to everyone

Pick up was punctual in a bus that was comfortable, driver was smooth and ride smooth Boat ride fantastic snorkling ok thogh the current was very strong Food ok

Our excursion to Cham Island was unfortunately a disappointing experience from start to finish. The tour felt disorganized and poorly managed, and it did not live up to what was advertised. After booking, I was unexpectedly charged an additional 200,000 VND a month later, then notified just two days before the trip about another surcharge due to “fuel costs.” Once we were picked up, it became clear we had also been charged extra for a separate driver—even though our hotel was supposedly included in the free pickup zone. The lack of transparency around pricing was frustrating. The tour itself was chaotic. Multiple groups were combined, and there didn’t seem to be a clear plan or coordination. We were shuffled between different guides throughout the day, which added to the confusion. The boat ride to the island, which took about 30 minutes, was uncomfortable due to heavy exhaust fumes that caused many passengers to cough and gag. Once on the island, the “city tour” consisted of a brief stop in an area with very little to see or do—mostly small vendors clearly geared toward getting tourists to spend money. Most people were ready to leave almost immediately. We were then taken to a beach for about 30 minutes, only to be rushed back onto the boat for a short 45-minute snorkeling session, and then returned again to the same beach for lunch. In total, we spent only about three hours on the island, which felt like a waste given the amount of time and money involved. The food provided was underwhelming, and many in our group barely ate. The staff appeared rushed, disorganized, and at times loud, and it often seemed like they were unsure of what was happening next. Overall, this tour felt like a disjointed, rushed experience that prioritized moving people through quickly rather than providing an enjoyable or memorable day. I would not recommend this excursion. You’re better off saving your money and visiting a beach club near Da Nang or Hoi An instead.

Good organization of the tour. More time on the island would have been nice.

Easy pick up , knowledgable guide and fun day out. The boat ride was comfortable and safe as we had good weather conditions. Nice to have free afternoon time to relax on the beach

Pros: Great food ( better than expected, come hungry for a Vietnamese feast), knowledgeable guide and reliable transport (from hotel, to the island and back). Make sure to follow the guides rules about times and meeting places and you won't be disappointed. Don't be late! Negatives: none!

The trip was great, your guide was amazing. The snorkelling is decent but the the snorkels they give you are really dirty so bring your own if you can.

This is an action packed day with non-stop entertaining activities. Vy was a great guide - knowledgeable, patient and cheerful

I had a very nice day exploring, swimming, sightseeing, eating, relaxing and snorkeling!!! Next time I'll try over night!

Great from start to finish , lunch was amazing! Snorkelling was fun although not heaps of fish but still good, really relaxing day monkeys were funny!
