“Never got to go. My tour was cancelled without notice and I was left standing at the curb for 45 minutes waiting to be picked up, if I hadn’t called, my guess is I’d still be waiting. Very unprofessional, and disorganized, i would never use or recommend aviator again!”

Walk the seabed, snorkel Cham Island’s reefs, feed fish by hand, and enjoy a seafood lunch on a 7 to 8 hour trip from Hoi An or Da Nang.

“An unbelievable experience interacting with fish and coral about five miles off the Vietnamese Coast. Ourr leader Jimmy was very fluent in English and guided our group through the experience, preparing us for something none of us could have had experience with. It's hard to explain but the highlight is walking on the ocean floor attached to a oxygen lifeline. No diving experience is necessary because they rely a special helmet placed over your head and on your shoulders that provides you with oxygen effortlessly and keeps the water out. Anyone can have the experience of course you this thing with the marine life during this underwater Odyssey. It does…”

Snorkel Cham Island from Hoi An or Da Nang, ride a wooden boat, eat seafood by the beach, and relax at Bai Chong for $53.

“Thanks SeaTrek for providing me a wonderful scuba diving trip. It was fantastic to enjoy a calm sea and observe the beautiful coral reefs under the sea of Cham Island. The coral populations and other marine species in this area actually are not too much, but still be known as one of the most diverse ecosystem on the planet. It was excited to feed some breads ("banh mi") for the fishes. Even if you don't wanna dive, just lie down on the sand in the sun, and relax!!! Don't forget there are 2 snorkeling spots off the island, so prepare your swimming stuffs for both before you leave the boat.…”

Marine museum was also ordinary. Old well was nice to cool down at. Very busy. Lunch was ok, but nothing special. We didn’t receive water as stated in itenary.”

Review of Cham Island from Hoi An: speedboat travel, snorkeling, lunch, beaches, temples, costs, timing, and practical tips.

“En primer lugar te llevan a visitar un pueblo dónde solo puedes ver la escuela por fuera, un pozo y un templo como muchos otros. Después te llevan a hacer snorkel en un lugar dónde el agua no es clara, no se ve nada y lo poco que ves son 2 tipologías distintas de peces. Finalmente, para comer sacan muy poca comida, una pieza contada por cabeza y no hay ventiladores, por lo que mueres de calor mientras comes.”

“Pack you on like sardines on a tiny bus. Speedboat is literally a normal boat. A lot of waiting around. Nothing to see snorkelling. Set menu sharing with strangers. They accommodate for all levels of mobility and experience when they should not (you should be fit and know how to swim). Bizarre experience. Go by yourself not on a group tour.”

Review of the $35 Cham Island group tour from Hoi An, with speedboat transfers, temples, snorkeling, seafood lunch, and practical booking advice.

“Nice day out and change of Hoi An street pace, but I would discourage paying to scuba as depth and sea life/coral doesn’t warrant. Also experienced snorkelers/divers may be a little underwhelmed, but overall nice day in and on the water”
