Hoi An / Cu Lao Cham

Cu Lao Cham (Cham Islands)

A cluster of eight islands in a UNESCO biosphere reserve, about 15–20 minutes by speedboat from Cua Dai Port, with clear water for snorkelling at Bai Ong, quiet beaches, the Hai Tang Pagoda and an old Cham well. Plastic bags are not allowed on the island; March to August brings the calmest seas, while rough weather can cancel boats later in the year.
