Cham Island experience
Well worth the money, fast boat to the island. Some went snorkeling, but visibility was sketchy. We stayed and swam, enjoying a nearly vacant beach. Luch provided, which was more than we could eat (catered for gluten-free requirements). Walked through the interesting village, then boat trip back. Taken to dinner, which was Korean BBQ and really tasty.

Great experience
We had a lovely time with Miss Banana and her team today. Everything was well organized and explained clearly. I had 2 kids with me and Miss Banana made sure we had the right tickets, right size vests, and snorkels. Food was good and we loved the relaxing time at the beach after snorkeling.

Bad experience
We booked many months ago based on the Tripadvisor’s reviews. I think that we made two different experience. The entire day was really touristic, nothing compare to the beautiful landscapes that Vietnam can offer. First, the tour was not around 6/8 Hours, as they told us, but it was around 3 or 4 hours that you spent on an Island with a lot of other tourists... a lot! NO SWIMMING, NO SNORKELLING.
Second, since the time was really short, I didn’t understand the first stop: in an Island, doing and visiting nothing…just walking around wasting our time. Maybe it was just to grab money from the tourists? I don’t know…
Then, they brought as to snorkel in a bay for 1 Hour….to be honest, it didn’t worth it. No reef, no fish, nothing!
The tour doesn’t worth the money and it’s a waste of time.
I would not recommend this experience.

Great day out, super gorgeous water
It was a really lovely day, the whole itinerary was explained on WhatsApp the night before with the pick up times too. The tour guide was so fun & explained everything we were doing and seeing. When we arrived to the island with the residents we learned about their details from our guide Miss One! The snorkelling sight was so clear and amazing coral.
