Cham Island tours with best prices and high quality in 2026

Cham Islands (Cu Lao Cham) are located about 15 km off the coast of Cua Dai (Hoi An), consisting of 8 large and small islands, with Hon Lao being the main inhabited island. The special highlight of Cham Islands lies in the perfect combination of pristine nature and historical-cultural values: traditional fishing villages, ancient Champa relics, centuries-old pagodas, and a strictly protected marine ecosystem.

Cham Islands 1-day tour is the most popular trip format, departing by high-speed boat (approx. 30 minutes of travel), suitable for tourists traveling from Da Nang or Hoi An. The ideal time to visit is from March to August, when the sea is calm, sunny, and dry. The rainy season (September to December) is often affected by high waves, and speedboats may not operate.

Cham Islands tours usually focus on nature exploration and cultural activities. Here are the most outstanding destinations and experiences:

• Snorkeling: This is a must-try activity at Cham Islands. The area around Hon Kho and Hon Tai features beautiful coral reefs and crystal-clear water where you can see hundreds of tropical fish species, soft corals, and starfish. Snorkeling gear is provided free of charge on the tour.
• Swimming at beautiful beaches:
  • Bai Ong (also known as the "Hawaii of Central Vietnam"): A long beach with fine white sand, clear water, gentle waves, and the liveliest atmosphere.
  • Bai Chong, Bai Xep, Bai Bac: More pristine and uncrowded, ideal for relaxing and taking photos.
• Visiting historical and cultural monuments:
  • Hai Tang Pagoda: An ancient pagoda over 200 years old, nestled amid green forests with unique Cham-Vietnamese architecture.
  • Ancient Cham Well: A sacred freshwater well over 200 years old, with crystal-clear water year-round.
  • Cham Islands Marine Protected Area and Museum: Learn about the ecosystem and history of the island inhabitants.
• Enjoying fresh seafood: Lunch usually features grilled, steamed, or hotpot seafood with lobster, squid, grouper, sea snails... right by the beach. A highly rewarding experience as the seafood is freshly caught.
• Other activities: Kayaking, fishing, walking to explore fishing villages, buying local specialties (sun-dried squid, Cham Islands fish sauce).

These experiences allow you to both relax and learn about nature conservation and local culture.
