We went on this trip originally about a year ago. We only wanted to go the the beach on the island but were dragged to a fishing village (and of course targeted by people selling things) which wasted about two hours. We (and 10 others on the boat) then wasted another hour on the boat while only two people snorkeled.... More

NIce charming island. The public ferry (next to the market) can take you to the island. It's about 10.000 VND a person, but they easily charge you double. More

We expected it to have a little more to see. There is not much in the island apart from the huts that prepare the lunch. After an hour of sitting on the beach we were ready to go and we were stuck there for another 3 hours. There was jellyfish in the water at the time we were there -April.... More

We visited Cham Isaland today and it was really lovely. My little girl had a ball at the beach, gorgeous, clean, safe for swimming. The snorkelling was good, although my one gripe is that the supplied masks and snorkels were awful, leaky, broken. The lunch provided was nice, although not stunning. Toilet is squat-style, which you flush with a bucket,... More

A bit warmer water when we swam after docking on the island. Had a nice local lunch on the island that was part of the... More

Took the trip out to Cham Island. Tour guide was great. Unfortunately, our snorkels were dirty and they gave us no fins but we exchanged them for clean ones and you didn't need the fins anyway because the snorkeling wasn't that great. On top of it, our group all got itchy in the water. Our guide told us it was... More
