A Complete Guide To Visiting Cham Island

• October 15, 2018
• Kristen and Shaya

Just 15 kilometres off Hoi An’s stunning coastline rise the Cham Islands—a set of eight granite masses of land. Their turquoise waters provide visitors with snorkelling, diving and fishing opportunities, along with many powdery sand beaches to choose from. The Cham Islands themselves are home to a number of small historical sights. They can be seen with a motorbike tour or by strolling the quiet lanes at your own pace. If you’re after a slice of local life, staying the night and watching the sun sink behind the mainland is a highly recommended way to unplug.

Hon Lao the largest and main island, was initially settled by the Cham people around 3,000 years ago. Throughout history, the eastern side of Hon Lao has been a favourable place to anchor ships. Half of the island is, in fact, an army base. Up until recently, the military had restricted access to Cham Islands for tourists.

The dive companies stop snorkeling and diving trips mid-October. They don’t start again until the weather improves in February, as the sea can be rough and the water visibility extremely limited. Also, on either side of this time period, the chances of boats being cancelled increases, due to bad swells in the waters.

We recommend visiting the islands from March to September.  Many visitors have been stranded on the island for a week or more while waiting for bad weather to cease. Above all – the tour companies know best. So take their advice and ours as we uncover the Cham Islands for you.

Bai Lang Village

This is the main town of Hon Lao Island, currently in the midst of an identity crisis. Bai Lang comprises of the main port for the island, restaurants, homestays, souvenir shops, as well as Bai Ong beach. One minute Bai Lang is a sleepy oceanside town where you can envision your worries drifting away on each passing wave. While the next minute, it’s a buzzing stop for the boatloads of day-tripping tourists.

Past the waterside restaurants and bowls of crustaceans and molluscs, are a number of historical landmarks and viewpoints. The easiest way to find them is to head over to the Cham Islands Reception Office and grab one of the free tourist maps provided.

It gives locations for these noteworthy stops and also lists information regarding homestays and the various tours offered. Tourist maps are written in both Vietnamese and English.

Bai Huong Village

Five kilometres southeast of the main port, along the coastal road, you’ll find Bai Lang’s younger and undeveloped sibling—Bai Huong. A village stitched together with a dozen or so lanes where around each corner you’ll see fishing nets being repaired and traps being mended.

Bai Huong is a very small fishing village. It can be reached by road or via the small local ferry that coincides with the docking of the larger ferry from Hoi An. The beaches here aren’t as nice as the ones that you can find close to Bai Lang. But what you lose in beaches you gain in authenticity.

Some speedboats will drop off tourists to visit the town, however it is far less common as Bai Huong is more a local escape. There aren’t many amenities here. Just a couple of restaurants and drink stands that mainly cater to the tour groups that arrive around noon.

Local Island Economy

Aside from the new wave of tourism revenue, the island has had two main economies sustaining it.  These are fishing and the harvesting of swallows nests. The biodiverse waters around the Cham Islands consist of large areas of coral, seaweed, and grass beds. They provide great shelter and homes for high economic seafood such as lobster, grouper, snapper, crab, shrimp, and clams.

Swallow’s nests are a delicacy in many Asian cultures. The source of their revenue has not only been good for the locals but the whole country as well. One kilogram of birds nests average around 80,000,000 VND (3,500 USD). If you’re lucky, you may see locals returning from the hills with their harvest.

Cham Island Entrance Fee

In 2020 an entrance fee to the Cham Islands was introduced.  It is a nominal amount of 70,000 VND (3 USD) per adult (over 1.4m).  The entrance fee is valid for your entire stay at the Cham Islands.   So if you choose to stay overnight or longer it’s still just one ticket per person, per stay.

If you are not travelling with a tour then purchase your ticket at the same time you buy your ferry ticket.

On arrival at the pier many people may try to sell you an entrance ticket.  However organised tours to the Cham Islands already include the entrance fee so don’t pay twice.

The money collected from the entrance fee goes towards the protection of the islands and raising environmental awareness of the area.  Some goes towards patrolling to avoid over-fishing on snorkelling and dive sites.  Along with other environmental programs such as coral propagation and reintroduction of species.  So it’s all for a good cause!

How to Get There: Hoi An to Cham Island

There are a number of different ways to reach the island. Either by ferry, speedboat, or package tour. Having said that, if you’re travelling without a tour and are only interested in a day trip, be careful. You will have limited time on the island before the boats head back to the mainland for the day. While getting stuck on the island isn’t the worst thing that can happen, it will be an unexpected burden on your plans or wallet.

Public Ferry Hoi An to Cham Island

The public ferry is a much slower mode of transport than the rest,. But it’s also one that is much kinder on your wallet—and your stomach. It travels to the Cham Islands once every day, and it can be caught from two locations, An Hoi and Cua Dai Pier.

The boat itself is a stubby box-shaped vessel. With lots of space for passengers and goods being brought to the island on a daily basis. The front section on the first level of the ferry has wooden benches for people if it’s a crowded ride or the weather turns sour.

Additionally, the mid-section has a raised platform usually occupied by locals, as well as a section used to put scooters and cargo. If the weather is good, Hidden suggests sitting on the top deck. Equipped with plastic chairs, rubber mats, and shade, this is the best way to pass the time.

Location #1 – An Hoi

At the bottom of a small alley road on An Hoi Island is the departure point for the ferry. It can be a bit of a tricky location to find. But the easiest and sure shot way of finding the alley is to look up Hoi An Silk Marina Resort And Spa on Google maps. The alley that you’re seeking is the first one west of the resort. The alley itself doesn’t actually show up on Google Maps, but we guarantee it is there! If you get lost or are confused, you can always ask at the resort, and someone will point the way.

The ferry leaves An Hoi between 7:00 a.m. to 7:30 a.m. and costs 150,000 VND (6.50 USD) per person. You can also bring a bicycle or scooter on for an additional 50,000 VND (2 USD). Taking the ferry also requires a 70,000 VND (3 USD) entrance fee due to the Cham Islands being a marine protected area.

Location #2 – Cua Dai Pier

Cua Dai Pier is located around 10 kilometres from Hoi An’s Old Town. The trip to the pier will cost around 150,000 VND (6.50 USD) by taxi and takes approximately 20 minutes. Alternatively, you can bike or drive there if you want to bring your bicycle or motorbike on the ferry with you. If you’re going to leave your vehicle at the pier, it costs around 10,000 VND (0.40 USD).

The ferry leaves the pier between 8:00 a.m. to 8:30 a.m. and will cost 100,000 VND (4 USD) per person. While the boat stops at Cua Dai, everyone is asked to pay the 70,000 VND (3 USD) entrance fee to the islands, regardless of which port you boarded from.

All that’s required is the money and to fill out your name, nationality and year of birth on a list. You can bring a bicycle or scooter on from Cua Dai as well for an additional 50,000 VND (2 USD). The total travel time to the Cham Islands is around 1.5 hours from Cua Dai Pier.

Which Pier to Choose for Boarding?

There are small advantages and disadvantages to the trip, depending on where you chose to board. If you’re travelling as a group of three or less, the cheapest way is to get on the ferry at An Hoi. You’ll be saving money on the taxi to Cua Dai and chances are it won’t be more than a 15-minute walk from where you’re staying. If you’re travelling with three or more people, we’d suggest catching the ferry at Cua Dai Pier. You’ll have more time to get your things together in the morning, and it will be the same price if not cheaper than catching the ferry at An Hoi.

Arriving at the Cham Islands

Once the ferry arrives at the Cham Islands you’ll dock at Bai Lang. Here you will have a couple more choices to make. If you’re staying in Bai Lang or just visiting, you’re all set. Otherwise, if you’re staying in Bai Huong, you’ll have two options to reach the village.

You can hire a motorbike taxi to whisk you away down the five-kilometre road for 70,000 VND (3 USD) per person. Or you can take one more local boat. On one side of the large ferry is the concrete pier, but on the other will be another smaller boat waiting for cargo and passengers to depart for Bai Huong. This boat costs 30,000 VND (1.30 USD), and the trip takes around 20 minutes to reach the village.

To return to Hoi An make this journey in reverse, but make sure to double check with your homestay about the return times.

Hidden Hint: If you’re concerned about safety when travelling by water, know that the large ferry has around 10 visible life rings available, and the small local boat at Hon Loa has more than enough life jackets.

Hoi An to Cham Island by Speedboat

Travelling by speedboat is the fastest way to reach the islands, taking only around 20 minutes. The average price is around 300,000 VND (13 USD) for a one-way trip. While you can book directly with captains at Cua Dai Pier, Hidden suggests going through your hotel or a travel agent. So this way you have a business to go back to if any issues should arise.

To return to Hoi An from Hon Lao, there are a few agents in Bai Lang that will arrange a ride for you. Depending on the time of day, the price may vary on what boats are available.

Hidden Hint: Be aware that as the day moves on past 1:00 p.m., the chance of getting a speedboat back to the mainland will begin to dwindle. Getting one after 3:00 p.m. is rare. Plan your trip accordingly.

Hoi An to Cham Island by  Private Boat

If you’re looking for a private and customisable experience, then you can hire a speedboat for around 5,000,000 VND (215 USD) for about five hours. Time and price are negotiable and will need to be discussed with the agent or captain. Ask your hotel or a travel agent to arrange one for you if needed. There’s a good chance you’ll need to have your own equipment for any activities that you wish to partake in. But you can, perhaps, work it in as part of the deal.

Hoi An to Cham Island  Organised Tours

There are countless companies in Hoi An that offer day tours to the islands. They normally include snorkelling, visiting beaches, a stop at one of the two villages, and a lunch. However, that being said, many of the tours are very short and don’t leave you much time to enjoy the islands. For snorkelling, in particular, some of the stops are not ideal. They aren’t always the best representation of what the islands have to offer.

Therefore we found Cham Island Diving offers the best tours running from 8:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. It provides you with multiple snorkelling spots and ample time to soak up some rays on the beach after the other tour groups head back to Hoi An.

Cham Island Diving and Song Hoi Tourist also offer multi-day tours to the islands that include an overnight stay. Travelling with a large budget? Then try the Biriwa Cruise (detailed below) as it allows you to enjoy the Cham Island waters in luxury. They offer many sailing tours on a 21-metre traditional classic yacht!

Cham Island Accommodation

It is entirely possible to book a night at a guesthouse or homestay in both Bai Lang and Bai Huong. Accommodation prices range from 120,000 VND (5 USD) per person per night, and up to 600,000 VND (26 USD) per night for a room. There is also some serious development in the works between the two villages, so more options will be available soon. Read all about accommodation on the Cham Islands in our article here.

However, if you’re looking for something a bit different, camping is a common way to spend the night beachside among the rows of palm trees. There are toilets and showers, and the restaurants are just a stone’s throw away. But be aware karaoke parties are also quite commonplace here, too.

It’s worth mentioning that in Bai Huong a homestay initiative has been created for tourists to stay with many participating families in the village. Rooms are simple with a bed and mosquito net, fan, western style toilet, and electricity. The family can also provide home cooked meals and organise activities, such as snorkelling, fishing, and trekking. The prices for activities range from 100,000 VND (4 USD) and 150,000 VND (6.50 USD).

Renting Motorbikes and Bicycles

To help you explore the island easier, bicycles can be rented in Bai Lang. However as for renting motorbikes, this is a grey area. If you can find someone willing to rent you one it can cost between 150,000 VND (6.50 USD) and 200,000 VND (8.60 USD) for 24 hours. However, you may only be able to rent one if you have a local driving one and ride pillion. At this time in Bai Huong, there are no official rental options for bicycles or motorbikes.

Hidden Hint: If you want your independence and mobility without the high price, take your scooter or bicycle from the mainland. Rent one in Hoi An and bring it on the local ferry with you for 50,000 VND (2 USD). This way you can avoid confusion and any disappointment on the island.

Due to the variety of aquatic habitats found in the Cham archipelago, the area has now been protected under UNESCO. There is a multitude of species to see such as eagle rays, turtles, ghost pipefish, whale sharks, and much more. A great operator to book with is Cham Island Diving , who offer a number of different options to view the aquatic life and reefs around the eight islands. You can book online or head over to Dive Bar ( 88 Nguyen Thai Hoc )  in Hoi An’s Old Town and chat with the team there.

Hidden’s Thoughts

The Cham Islands may only be a short trip from Hoi An. But they will make you feel like you’ve travelled much further than just 15 kilometres from the mainland. Above all, Hidden recommends that you don’t rush and go at least for a full day. It’s worth it because there are options catering to everyone, like diving or snorkelling or just enjoying the boat trip out to explore the islands.

It’s also a very family-friendly excursion. The kids will love having all the extra space and freedom to swim and run about. Whether it’s just for the day or a couple of nights in homestays or on the beach, it’s now your turn to visit this once restricted, impressive group of islands.

Great summary and glad you mentioned that Cham is a Marine Protected Area. However it would be extremely helpful to the conservation goals if you were to include a map of the zoning plan (no fishing areas etc) as well as regulations governing the MPA (on fishing, plastics etc). WWF Vietnam and others have programs there that you can consult with (or just get in touch with the CLMPA Management team)

Thanks for your message. This sounds like your area of expertise! Please can you suggest the best person to get in contact for this information and we will happily update the article?

Many thanks

Cham Island Tour: Discover A Hidden Gem in Vietnam 

HAVE YOU EVER WONDERED WHAT MAKES A CHAM ISLAND TOUR SO CAPTIVATING? 

Since my first visit in 2015, I’ve been drawn back to Vietnam time and again. Our team has explored its nooks and crannies, each journey revealing more layers of its unique allure. 

Located just off the coast of Hoi An, Cham Island, or ‘Cu Lao Cham’, is a treasure trove of natural beauty, rich culture, and historical depth. The true essence of Cham Island unfolds through its guided tours. These aren’t your average sightseeing excursions; they’re gateways to immersive experiences. 

Imagine snorkeling in crystal-clear waters teeming with marine life, wandering through ancient temples, or sharing stories with the friendly locals. These tours offer a deeper, more authentic connection to the island’s soul.

Guided tours here transform you from a mere visitor to an explorer, uncovering the island’s hidden gems. They blend adventure, tranquility, and cultural immersion in a way that’s rare and unforgettable. So, are you ready to discover why a Cham Island tour should be a highlight of your Vietnam adventure? Let’s embark on this journey together.

Getting to Cham Island

Have you ever wondered how to get to a tropical paradise like Cham Island? It’s easier than you think! From Da nang to Hoi An , the journey is part of the adventure. You can hop on a speedboat or a traditional wooden boat, known locally as a ‘basket boat’. These rides offer a thrilling start to your island escapade, with the wind in your hair and the sun on your face.

When planning your trip, remember that boats usually leave in the morning. So, it’s a good idea to book your ticket in advance, especially during peak season. Also, if you’re prone to seasickness, don’t forget to take some motion sickness pills before boarding. 

Lastly, pack light but smart. A waterproof bag for your gadgets, sunscreen, and a hat are must-haves. And if you’re staying overnight, check with your accommodation about what they provide. This way, you can avoid carrying unnecessary stuff.

The Diverse Marine Life of Cham Island

Cham Island is a snorkeler’s and diver’s dream come true. Its underwater world is bustling with life. Picture this: colorful coral reefs, schools of vibrant fish, and even the occasional sea turtle if you’re lucky. 

The island’s most popular diving spots include Hon Nhan and Hon Dai. These areas are teeming with marine life. You might spot parrotfish, clownfish (yes, Nemo!), and if you’re diving deeper, maybe even reef sharks. The visibility is usually great, making it perfect for underwater photography.

For those who prefer snorkeling, the shallow waters around Bai Xep are ideal. You’ll be amazed by the variety of fish and corals just a few meters from the shore. And the best part? You don’t need to be a pro swimmer to enjoy this. Just floating on the water’s surface, you’ll witness a mesmerizing aquatic ballet.

Choosing Your Perfect Cham Island Tour

Picking the right Cham Island tour can be like choosing the perfect flavor of ice cream – exciting but a bit overwhelming. There’s a whole menu of options! You’ve got day trips, diving tours, and cultural tours, each offering its own unique taste of the island.

Think about what you love to do. Are you an underwater adventurer, keen to dive into the deep blue? Then a diving tour is your ticket to an underwater wonderland.

Or maybe you’re a culture enthusiast, eager to soak up local traditions? In that case, a cultural tour will be right up your alley. And if you’re short on time or just want a taste of everything, day trips are perfect. They’re like a sampler platter of Cham Island’s best bits.

Remember to consider who’s coming along and how much time you’ve got. A solo traveler might crave the thrill of a group adventure, while a family might prefer a private, laid-back experience. And if you’re squeezing your trip into a weekend, a day trip is ideal. 

Highlights of Cham Island Day Trips

Day trips to Cham Island are like mini-adventures packed with big memories. They usually start early in the morning, giving you a full day to explore. You’ll hop on a boat and set sail, feeling the excitement bubble up as the island gets closer.

These trips are jampacked with activities. You can expect to snorkel in crystal-clear waters, lounge on sun-kissed beaches, and maybe even trek through lush green forests. And let’s not forget the food – you’ll likely enjoy a delicious seafood lunch, fresh and full of local flavors.

One of your most memorable day trips could be snorkeling near Bai Xep. You’ll find yourself floating above a coral reef, mesmerized by the rainbow of fish darting below, when a school of small, shimmering fish surrounds you. It was like being in a living, moving, underwater kaleidoscope. That moment, so simple yet so magical, is what Cham Island day trips are all about.

• A small backpack – for all your bits and bobs.

Now, for a smooth tour experience, here’s a little secret: always check the weather forecast. The sea can be unpredictable, and you don’t want to be caught off guard.

How To Plan a Cham Island Day Trip from Hoi An, Vietnam

A day trip to Cham Islands is a fantastic excursion from Hoi An or Da Nang, Vietnam. The eight rustic, rocky Cham Islands sit off the coast near Hoi An. Also called Cù Lao Chàm, the archipelago is only 9 miles from the mainland coast of Central Vietnam – which makes it a perfect day trip from Hoi An.

Highlights of the Cu Lao Cham Islands are the quaint fishing villages, pristine beaches, gorgeous landscapes and underwater snorkeling and diving adventures. Travelers can plan a trip on their own or join an organized Cham Island tour to experience the peaceful paradise.

Planning a Cham Island Day Trip

While on our trip to Hoi An, we were eager to spend a day in the sun and sea. A Cham Islands day trip naturally piqued our interest. All together, the eight islands make up the protected Cu Lao Cham Marine Park. In 2009, the islands were designated a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve for their unique biodiversity. 

Since then, day trips to the Cham Islands have increased in popularity. Many tour companies operate organized Da Nang and Hoi An day tours to Cham Island so that tourist can enjoy the cultural experiences and have some fun-in-the-sun. 

That said, it is also possible for travelers to plan their own trip to the Cham Island World Biosphere Reserve – for one day or even longer. The benefits of planning a DIY trip is the flexibility to explore at your own pace. 

About Cham Island: What To Expect on a Day Trip

Whether opting to take an organized Cham Island Tour from Hoi An (or Da Nang) or exploring on your own, the excursion will take you to the Island of Hon Lao. All boats dock on Hon Lao at the Ben Tau main harbor in the Bai Lang fishing village.

Of the eight Hoi An Islands, Hon Lao is the largest in the archipelago and the only inhabited one; currently there are about 3,000 residents. In fact, this island has been home to civilizations for the past 2,500 years…which is about 500 years longer than people have lived in Hoi An.

Yet, the mountainous terrain remains relatively undeveloped. Resources are scarce; drinking water comes from a well in the center of town and generators are the primary source of electricity. 

5 Best Cham Island Things To Do

We are highlighting the best things to do and nearly every Cham Island Tour Itinerary should feature these activities (although exact location and order may vary). Travelers planning their own Cham Island Itinerary can also use this list to plan their visit.

#1 Cultural Cham Island, Vietnam Sights

Every Cham tour should include seeing the cultural sights on the island. The most intriguing attractions are the historic temple, school and pagoda that sit prominently at the base of the mountain.

The structures are accessible via a small path that winds through an open field of grazing cows (and getting past them is half the fun!). The traditional, wooden Hai Tang Pagoda, which was built in 1848, is where locals go to practice Buddhism and worship spirits.

#2 Cham Island Snorkeling and Diving

The Cham Islands may not have the best snorkeling in Vietnam, but it is the top place for snorkeling in Hoi An. The underwater reefs and corals are teeming with colorful fish and squiggly sea creatures. 

Travelers who want to scuba dive in the surrounding waters should book a specific Cham Island diving tour. There are also tours that offer Underwater Walking Excursions. We feature a few of the best Cham Island tours later in the article.

During our trip, the water lacked clarity due to recent storms, but we could still spot an abundance of sea life. The highlights of our Cham Island snorkeling tour were spotting ‘Nemo’ in an anemone and swimming alongside a 4-foot-long trumpet fish. 

#3 Local Seafood Cuisine

The Cham Islands are a fabulous location for a feast of grilled seafood. Fresh fish, seafood salad on a shell, seasoned shrimp and Fish Head stew are island specialties. 

There are a handful of restaurants in town near the dock – and a few beach shacks with stunning views – that serve local seafood fare. Note that opening hours of the restaurants are typically timed with the arrival of organized tours, so keep that in mind if traveling on your own. 

On our trip, we dined with our feet in the sand at Bai Bac Beach. Dishes were brought to our table in an endless parade of Vietnamese specialties. Our group shared the platters family-style – and plates covered the entire table. As soon as a platter was empty, it was replaced by another delectable dish!

#4 Cham Island Beach and Swimming

One of the best things about taking a Cham day trip is the beaches! Several sandy shorelines dot the west coast of the island. On organized tours, visitors typically visit one or two different beaches. To get to the beaches without a tour, travelers can walk, bring a scooter on the public ferry or hire a Cham Island water taxi

A few of the best beaches on Cham Island are Bai Chong Beach, Bai Ong Beach and Bai Xep Beach (Bai Bac). 

We think that walking on the beach or heading into the sea for a swim is a must on a Hoi An-Cham Island tour. Not only is it incredibly refreshing to splash around in the water, but from the you get glorious views back at the beach and of the Cham Island mountains.

#5 Cham Island Villages

The fishing village of Bai Lang is an interesting place to explore. Tourists can watch the fishermen coming and going in their iconic round boats – or navigate the lanes deeper into the community. 

Many of the houses in Bai Lang, which are tightly clustered together, double as tourist shops – and naturally the revenue focus has shifted from fishing to tourism throughout the village. Restaurants, convenience shops and trinket souvenir stands lines the main roads. There is a small Cham Island museum in the village that details the local marine life and some of the area’s history.

Bai Huong Village – which is about 3 miles (5km) south of Bai Lang – is a traditional fishing village that still feels quite authentic. While tourist boats visit the nearby beaches, the town itself is rarely explored and is a unique place to stroll around.

How To Get to Cham Islands

The best (and pretty much only) way to get to the Cham Islands by boat. Travelers can choose from fast speed boats, slow wooden boats or the slower Cham Island ferry boat. 

Tour Boats to Cham Islands

All of the organized Cham Island Tours include boat transportation to and from the islands. Day tours from Hoi An and Da Nang depart from Cua Dai Harbor in either speedy motorboats or wooden boats. The vessels transport day trippers across nine miles of (sometimes very choppy) water to the Ben Tau wharf in the village of Bai Lang on the largest Cham island.

How To Get to Cham Island without a Tour

Those who want to plan their own DIY Cham Island day tour can hop on a boat from the port or take the public ferry. Motorboat rides are a bit on the pricey side; the roundtrip can cost nearly as much as a guided tour.

The local ferry boat is cheaper, but there is typically only one daily ferry to Cham Islands. Unfortunately, there is not reliable online information for the Cham Island ferry schedule. Instead, visitors can find the most current information about the price and times for the Hoi An-Cham Island Ferry at the Cua Dai port on the mainland.

Tips for Riding the Boat to Cham Island

The speed boat ride to Cham Island from Hoi An only takes 30 minutes. However, be warned that the ride can be extremely bumpy. We took seats in the front of the speed boat for the view…and had a wild, exhilarating and slightly tailbone-bruising experience.

Travelers who opt to take the wooden boat to Cham Island – rather than speed boat – will likely have a much smoother ride. That said, it takes at least an hour to make the 9-mile journey. 

The slow public ferry to Cham Island takes about 1.5 hours (or longer). However, it tends to be the most economical option, which can work great for budget travelers.

Organized Tour of Cham Islands

For our trip to the Cham Islands, we determined that it was best (as in, easiest and fairly economical) to take an organized tour. We are sharing a few of the highly-rated tours to help decide what may be best for you.

Speed Boat Cham Island Tour from Hoi An

For our trip, we joined a Cham Island Speed Boat Tour. Our Cu Lao Cham tour itinerary included sightseeing, snorkeling, swimming and an included seaside lunch.

One of the things we enjoyed about the tour was the ample time for swimming and relaxing on the beach. We also appreciated that our Hoi An travel guide shared his knowledge about the island and Cham people. Read reviews and book your Cham Island tour by speedboat !

Tips for a DIY Cham Island Trip

Be aware that without a tour guide, visitors are solely responsible for sorting out the details of getting to Cham Island, arranging activities and meals as well as paying any associated tourist fees.

What You Will Need on a Tour to Cham Island

Before setting off on your Cham Island tour from Hoi An, Vietnam, you will want to make sure you are properly prepared for the trip! 

Sun Protection

Most of the day will be spent in the sunshine! Make sure to bring sunscreen (if you plan to snorkel, bring reef-safe sunblock ) and a wide-brimmed hat  – as well as your favorite beach sunglasses .

Snorkel Gear

On Da Nang and Hoi An Snorkeling Tours, the snorkel gear is provided. However, if you have your own mask and snorkel , we recommend bringing them ensure a proper fit and possibly better quality.

It’s best to wear your swimsuit for the day’s Cham adventure (but consider bringing a change of underclothes for the boat trip back). Some tours include use of towels, but you may want to bring a multi-purpose travel wrap in case yours does not. In order to keep your phone safe and dry, it’s best to carry it in a dry bag .

Underwater Camera

Don’t forget an underwater camera to get footage while you snorkel and swim at Cham Island. If a Go Pro is out of your budget, opt for a less-expensive action camera .

Good Day Pack

When visiting the Vietnam islands on a day trip, it’s best to bring a secure, zippered travel day bag . We like to wear these small backpacks so we can organize and stow all our daily essentials. 

Vietnam Travel Insurance

Travel doesn’t always go as planned – and when things go awry, trip insurance might help. If you don’t already have travel insurance, check the rates and coverage at World Nomads .

A traveler’s guide to the best of the Cham Islands

There’s something special about finding your spot in the sun. and on the beautiful cham islands, you have lots of spots to choose from., although this archipelago is just 22 kilometers across the water from hoi an, its coastline and scenery are strikingly different. instead of facing east to the open sea, the bays and beaches of the cham islands face west, and are sheltered from winds and storms by rocky boulders and the solid height of hon bien mountain. in this protected space, nature has a chance to thrive. waves filter into clear sandy beaches, rainforests rise from the mountain slopes, and under the sea, the richest marine life in vietnam flourishes., apart from its rare natural beauty, the cham islands are blessed with serenity. close enough to reach easily, yet far enough to feel a world away, this is a place where you can walk barefoot on the sand, dive deep under the waves, and lose track of time. it’s no wonder that many travelers are delighted to discover the cham islands. here’s a guide to seeing the best of the cham islands yourself..

History of the Cham Islands

For centuries, merchants and mariners have stopped at the Cham Islands, drawing water from its wells and food and firewood from its forests. As far as we know, the Sa Huynh were the first people to settle on the islands. Digs on the beaches of Bai Lang and Bai Ong unearthed Sa Huynh burial jars, prehistoric tools, and jewelry, as well as artifacts from the 7th to 10th centuries, showing trade with China, India, and countries in Southeast Asia.

During the Cham and Dai Viet eras, the Cham Islands were used as anchorage for merchant vessels. Ships would anchor in the harbor of Hon Lao, while their products were taken by smaller boats to the trading port in Hoi An. The Cham Islands were also famed for edible swiftlet nests, a favorite regional delicacy. The Nguyen Kings set up a dedicated team of harvesters – their descendants still scale the cliffs twice a year to gather the prized nests.

Eventually, the Cham Islands fell under the radar when the river to Hoi An silted up and Vietnam’s main international port was moved to Da Nang. The archipelago held its quiet fishing roots for decades, but when UNESCO listed the area as a World Biosphere Reserve in 2009, the islands again caught the attention of travelers from across the seas.

Things to do on the Cham Islands

Get up close with the coral reefs

By far the most popular thing to do on the Cham Islands is to get in the water. Some 947 marine creatures –  including endangered fish, and a wide array of corals, seaweed, shellfish and crustaceans – live around the eight islands in the Cham archipelago. You’ll find some of the best snorkeling and SCUBA diving opportunities in Vietnam sprinkled around a dozen sites off the coast. Be sure to go with a trusted tour company to enjoy safe and guided excursions of these marvelous underwater worlds .

Relax and unwind on the sand

Whether or not you’re a diver, anyone can enjoy the Cham Islands’ gorgeous beaches. Bai Ong, Bai Chong and Bai Xep are a few of the best beaches for swimming and relaxation. You can also rent a wooden boat or pay a motorcycle driver to take you to lesser-known beaches, where you’re likely to have a pristine stretch of sand all to yourself. If you want to camp out, ask your tour company for help to arrange a tent and supplies, and spend a whole magical night under the stars.

Explore local life in the fishing villages

Wandering around Hon Lao’s fishing villages is one of the joys of visiting the Cham Islands. Bai Lang is the biggest settlement on the island. In the port, bright red flags flutter from the countless basket boats and fishing boats bobbing in the water. The town’s quiet streets are shaded by fruit trees, and ancient pagodas nestle in the shadow of forest-clad hills.

Bai Huong is another even smaller village, with charming scenes of local life. Along the narrow lanes, fishing nets sparkle in the sun, locals chop forest leaves into medicinal tea, and monkeys clamber atop the roofs.

TIP: Visit the nest-gatherers’ ancestral temple in Bai Huong Village for a brief encounter with this piece of the islands’ history.

Paddle your way around the coast

The western coast of Hon Lao is perfect for standup paddleboarding and kayaking. Soak in views of white-sand beaches lined with coconut palms, hilltops covered with lush rainforest, and humble fishing villages from out on the water.

The calm early mornings are the best time to push off. Ngo Khanh Homestay offers SUP and kayak tours in one of the prettiest parts of the island. From Bai Huong, it’s a short paddle to two deserted beaches where you can reward yourself with a picnic on the beach.

Dine on freshly caught seafood

Of course, one of the top reasons why visitors love the Cham Islands is its abundance of tasty seafood. The morning market at dawn is a great place to catch a glimpse of the day’s catch as it arrives off the fishing boats. The restaurants in town list a wide variety of seafood, cooked in even more tempting ways.

If you have the chance, go for a seafood lunch on one of the beaches. Sitting with your toes in the sand, roll hot grilled fish with greens and aromatic herbs, dip morsels of lobster and crab meat in lime, seasalt, and chili, crack plump prawns open with your fingers, suck scallops and abalone from their shells, and wash it all back with a cold drink for a memorably delicious moment.

Learn about the island’s history and culture

The Cham Island Museum is a great place to get your bearings and learn about the islands’ long history. Check out the displays of artifacts from archaeological sites, and read about the rainforest ecosystems, marine life, and national treasures sprinkled throughout the eight islands. You might like to make the short walk to the well-preserved Hai Tang Pagoda. Built in 1848, the pagoda was where ancient mariners used to worship before embarking on their next voyage.

Planning your trip

Weather on the cham islands.

The wet season in Quang Nam lasts from October to February. During these months, and sometimes the months before and after depending on the weather, tours and speedboats to Cham Islands are rare. Plan your visit between March and September to enjoy the best weather and a smoother ride. April and May are excellent months to visit. From June to August, the weather is generally good, but expect some rain showers and thunderstorms in the afternoons.

Getting to the Cham Islands

Getting to the Cham Islands is easier than you may think. Choose between public speedboats, the local ferry, and the tour boats. If you plan to go diving or snorkeling, a dive or tour company can guide you to the best spots and help you arrange an overnight visit. If you prefer to see the Cham Islands on your own, the public speedboats are the fastest option (ask your hotel in Hoi An to secure roundtrip tickets for you.) If you have lots of time to spare, you can opt for the ferry.

Speedboat to the Cham Islands

Speedboats leave from the Cua Dai Wharf for the Cham Islands at about 8:30am each morning, and return at about 1pm, or when the boat is full. The ride lasts only 20 minutes, but can be a bit bumpy on windy days. Round-trip tickets start at 350,000 VND including 70,000 VND for the marine conservation fee and 20,000 VND for the environmental cleaning fee. You can take a taxi or Grabcar from your hotel in Hoi An to the wharf, about 20 minutes from the Ancient Town.

Getting around the Cham Islands

Once on Hon Lao, there’s a lot you can see on foot, however we recommend hiring a motorbike with a local driver for exploring. The roads on the island can be steep and winding. Having a local driver is a safer choice, and also brings income to the community. Your homestay will be happy to arrange a driver for you.

You can also create your own snorkeling tour by renting a wooden boat for a few hours. These colorful boats are captained by local fishermen and are a wonderful way to get around. As a plus, you can try fishing on board, and stop by quiet beaches and coves. Ask your homestay for help if you want to arrange a tour by wooden boat.

Tours to the Cham Islands

Most tour companies in Hoi An offer day trips to the Cham Islands, and some can also arrange overnight stays for guests, with a return trip the following day. Day tours usually depart around 8am and return at 1pm., and include snorkeling at two underwater sites, time on the beaches, and lunch on the island. Some tours also include historic stops in the main village of Bai Lang.

TIP: Cham Island Diving Center has a reputation for its professional and friendly team who have more than 20 years of experience diving on Cham Islands. Tours with Cham Island Diving Center also offer a little extra time on the islands, as they leave for Hoi An at around 3:30pm.

Where to stay on the Cham Islands

While there are currently no boutique hotels or five-star resorts on the Cham Islands, the undeveloped beauty of the coast and humble hospitality of the people is a big part of the islands’ charm. Guest houses with modern beds and showers, some with great views of the forest or port, are available for just 300,000 VND a night (13 USD).

If you want an immersive experience of the local culture, choose one of the rustic homestays in Bai Huong. Families and groups of friends can book Crest House Homestay , a three-bedroom villa with a kitchen and outdoor grill, just a few steps from a lovely beach. Wherever you choose, your local hosts will go out of their way to ensure you are safe and comfortable.

Monkey Homestay , Hammock Homestay , and Sunbay Homestay in Bai Lang, and Ngo Khanh Homestay and Island Smiles Homestay in Bai Huong are top choices for accommodation in the Cham Islands. You can contact them via Facebook, or book online in advance on Booking.com.

Notes for travelers

No plastic policy – The community on the Cham Islands is making an admirable effort to reduce plastic waste. Locals will give you your purchases in small sacks or wrapped in leaves. If you have to bring any plastic with you to the islands, be sure to remove it when you leave as well.

Money and ATMs – There are currently no ATMs or banks on the Cham Islands, and cash or online bank transfers are used for all transactions. Be sure to withdraw all the cash you think you need for your visit before leaving the mainland.

Environmental fees – Every visitor to the Cham Islands is asked to pay a one-time marine conservation fee of 70,000 VND and an environmental cleaning fee of 20,000 VND. The fees are used to fund rehabilitation projects and management of the natural sites and resources.

Cham islands is a little heaven on earth off the shore of Hoi An. It has 8 islands that are different in size, shape, name and formation history. Thanks to super diversity of marine life in its surrounding waters, it’s designated by Vietnam’s government as a national protection area and then by Unesco as a world biosphere reserve. Particularly, this archipelago is home of around 950 living creatures, including 135 coral species, 178 fishes, etc. A day trip from Hoi An to Cham Islands (Cu Lao Cham) is a good choice for those who are willing to discover the wealth of nature. The bus will take visitors from their hotel around Hoi An, and then goes to Cua Dai harbour to board the canoes.
