Cham Island Private Tour by Your Own Speedboat from Hoi An

About 8 hours from hotel to hotel, with a 07:30 hotel pickup. We plan to leave the pier about 08:00 and to leave the island about 14:30.

Pickup at any Hoi An hotel is free. We can also collect you from a Da Nang hotel for a transfer surcharge shown at checkout, about 45 minutes earlier than the times here. Your guide allows 20 minutes at the hotel lobby.

Yes. On this tour the speedboat and its crew carry your group and your guide, and nobody else. Lunch and the beaches are public places, so you will see other visitors there.

That is the plan, not a promise. The usual tour boats leave Cua Dai between about 08:30 and 09:30, and we aim to leave about 08:00, subject to clearance at the pier. Other private boats may have the same idea.

Often, but not always. It depends on the swell and how clear the water is, which tends to be best from about May to August and cloudy from December to March. We do not promise a particular sight.

Yes for the boat day, as long as you tell us. The crossing and the snorkel stop are the only parts on the water, and a life jacket is always provided. Non-swimmers can stay on board or float in a life jacket next to the guide.

Yes. Everything here is a sample: add a stop, drop one, or stay longer at Bai Huong or on the beach. Tell us before booking and you get the plan and one all-in price in writing.

Yes. Our guides are licensed locals with fluent English, and they talk you through the island’s history, its fishing life and the rules of the marine reserve during the day.

No, each price is for the whole group of 1–4. Under-5s come free and are not counted in your group; from age 5 a child counts as one guest. For five or more, message us on WhatsApp and we will quote.

Pay in full online by card. Or put down a 30% deposit online and give your guide the balance in cash on the tour day, in Vietnamese dong or US dollars. A secure link on WhatsApp works too. Your booking stands once the online payment clears, and your pickup time and guide’s name follow in writing.

Yes. Free cancellation until 3 days (72 hours) before departure, with a full refund, and you can move your date free of charge until then if we have space. Inside 3 days, no-shows included, 30% of the tour price is charged since the boat, car and guide are by then committed. Date changes are arranged over WhatsApp.

Light rain does not stop the day. If the port authority bans boats, you choose a new date free of charge or a 100% refund. If boats still run but the swell is big, the captain drops or swaps a snorkel stop, and that change is not partly refunded. We confirm the sea with you 2 days before.

We run all year, and the sea decides how good the day is. March to September is the settled stretch. From October to February boats are often cancelled, and from December to March the water tends to be cloudy with fewer fish. From November to January some island restaurants and boats may stop running, so we cannot promise lunch on a particular beach in those months. We confirm the sea with you 2 days before.

Swimwear, a towel, a hat, sunscreen, and a layer for your shoulders and knees at the pagoda. Bring a reusable bag: plastic bags are not allowed on the island. There is nothing to pay at the pier, since boat and fees are already settled. If you are paying the balance in cash, have it ready for your guide.

Lunch is seafood with rice, and what arrives depends on the day’s catch. Tell us about allergies when you book and we will arrange it with the kitchen. Vegetarian lunch is available if you tell us beforehand. Drinks other than water are yours to order.
