Itinerary

Your private Cham Island tour begins with a convenient hotel pick-up around 8:30 AM. Your local guide will meet you and accompany you throughout the day, making sure everything runs smoothly.

Hop on a speedboat and cruise across the sea to Cham Island. The ride is quick, breezy, and gives you a refreshing break from the mainland.

After arriving at the island pier, take a short walk through Bai Lang village. You’ll visit the Cham Island Biosphere Reserve center, a traditional Champa well, Hai Tang Pagoda, and the local market. It’s a great chance to see how people live on the island and learn about its history and culture.

Next, head to one of Cham Island’s best snorkeling spots, either Bai Xep or Hon Tai, depending on the conditions. You’ll get all the gear you need to float above colorful coral and tropical fish in shallow, crystal-clear water.

After snorkeling, enjoy a set menu lunch at a local beachfront restaurant. If you’re vegetarian or have dietary restrictions, just let us know in advance—delicious options are available.

Lunch

Spend some time lounging on the beach, swimming, or just soaking up the sun. The vibe here is laid-back and uncrowded, perfect for unwinding.

FAQ

Is this tour suitable for kids or older travelers?

Yes, it’s suitable for most ages. There’s only light walking and the snorkeling is beginner-friendly. If you're unsure, let us know and we’ll help you decide.

What happens if the weather is bad?

The tour runs in light rain or overcast conditions. However, if sea conditions are unsafe (usually due to storms or strong waves), the speedboat may be canceled. We’ll contact you to reschedule or offer alternatives.

Can I bring a drone or camera to the island?

Yes, you can bring a camera or drone, but keep in mind that there’s limited charging access and no secure storage, so plan accordingly. The island offers beautiful photo spots.
