Cham Island Tour from Hoi An & Da Nang

Q: How much does the Cham Island tour cost?

The Cham Island joining tour from Hoi An costs 600,000 VND per person. This price includes Hoi An hotel pickup and drop-off, return speedboat, guided snorkeling with equipment, lunch, island entrance fee, and standard tour services. Private car transfer from Da Nang is available as an add-on.

Q: Can I visit Cham Island from Da Nang?

Yes. You can add a private car transfer from your Da Nang hotel to Cua Dai Pier in Hoi An, then join the speedboat tour. Minh Vu Travel can arrange both the car transfer and the Cham Island tour in one booking.

Is a day trip to Cham Island worth it from Hoi An or Da Nang?

Yes — one of the easiest island escapes in Central Vietnam without an overnight stay.

Distance from Hoi An: roughly 18 km by sea — about 20 minutes by speedboat
Distance from Da Nang: around 30 km — car transfer to Hoi An pier, then speedboat
Best season: March to September when the sea is calm and visibility is excellent
Not available: October to February due to rough weather and restricted boat access

The island itself is quiet, forested, and genuinely beautiful. Because the Vietnamese government limits visitor numbers and bans plastic bottles on the island, it stays cleaner than most beach destinations in the region. A full day is enough to snorkel, swim, eat well, and still feel unhurried.

개요

여행 팁

Small things that make a real difference on this trip.

Bring a reusable water bottle. Plastic bottles are prohibited on the island — refill stations are available at the pier and on the island.
Book early in peak season (May to August). Boat capacity is limited and tours fill up fast on weekends.
Wear reef-safe sunscreen if you can — the reef here is genuinely healthy and worth protecting.
The speedboat can be bumpy on the open sea. If you are prone to seasickness, take medication before departure.
Bring cash in Vietnamese dong for extra drinks, optional seafood dishes, or personal expenses on the island.
Cham Island is best from April to August for flat seas and excellent underwater visibility.

Joining Tour vs Private Boat Charter

Which option fits your group?

Joining tour (small group): most popular option — fixed schedule, lower price per person, shared speedboat with a small group, great for solo travellers, couples, and families
Private charter: you hire the entire boat — ideal for groups of 8 or more, or travellers who want total flexibility on snorkeling spots and timing
Da Nang add-on: guests from Da Nang can add a private car transfer to Hoi An pier and join the same boat — no need to arrange separate transport

기대할 수 있는 기능

Why this is one of the most popular day trips from Hoi An.

Pristine coral reef snorkeling — Cham Island has some of the healthiest coral in central Vietnam. The snorkeling here is genuinely worth the trip, even for people who have snorkeled across Southeast Asia.

A proper local lunch on the island — A 12-dish set meal served at a local family restaurant overlooking the sea. A mix of Vietnamese dishes including a couple of seafood items, plus rice, vegetables, and other local specialities — cooked simply, served fresh.

A UNESCO island without the crowds — Visitor numbers to Cham are capped by regulation. It stays quieter, cleaner, and more rewarding than many beach destinations in the region — and it is only 20 minutes from Hoi An by speedboat.

How much does the Cham Island tour cost?

The Cham Island joining tour from Hoi An costs 600,000 VND (~$23) per person. This price already includes the required Cua Dai port / Cham Island fees, return speedboat transfer, guided snorkeling with equipment, English-speaking boat guide, Hoi An hotel pickup/drop-off, and a 12-dish island set lunch.

Is the Cua Dai port / Cham Island fee included?

Yes. The 600,000 VND/person joining tour price already includes the required Cua Dai port / Cham Island fees. There is no separate port or island fee to pay on arrival for the standard joining tour.

When is the best time to visit Cham Island?

The best months are April through August, when the sea is calm and snorkeling visibility is at its best. The island is closed to tourist boats from around October to February due to rough weather.

Can I visit Cham Island from Da Nang?

Yes. Add a private car transfer from your Da Nang hotel to Cua Dai pier in Hoi An, then join the speedboat tour. Minh Vu Travel can arrange both in one booking.

Is snorkeling equipment provided?

Yes. Mask, snorkel, and fins are included in the tour price. Life jackets are also provided on the boat and at the snorkeling site. You do not need to bring your own equipment, though you are welcome to if you prefer.

Do I need to be a strong swimmer to join?

No. The snorkeling area is calm and relatively shallow, and life jackets are available. Most guests with basic water confidence can take part. Children who are not confident swimmers can still enjoy the beach and the boat trip without snorkeling.

What is included in the lunch on Cham Island?

Lunch is a 12-dish island set meal served at a local restaurant — a mix of Vietnamese dishes including 1 to 2 seafood items, along with rice, vegetables, and other local specialities. It is not an all-seafood meal. Vegetarian options can usually be arranged — please let us know when booking.

Can I bring plastic bottles to the island?

No — plastic bottles and single-use plastic items are banned on Cham Island. This is a genuine conservation rule, not just a guideline. Bring a reusable bottle and fill it at the pier before departure. Refill water is available on the island as well.

What is the difference between the speedboat and the traditional wooden boat?

The speedboat takes about 20 minutes each way and is the standard option for this tour — it is faster, more comfortable, and runs to a tighter schedule. The traditional wooden boat takes around 45 to 60 minutes and suits travellers who prefer a slower, more atmospheric crossing. Contact us if you would like the wooden boat option and we can check availability.
