The story
Cu Lao Cham is a small group of islands about 15km off the coast near Hoi An, reached by speedboat from Cua Dai pier in around 25 minutes (vietnam.travel, checked 26 Sep 2026). The islands are a UNESCO World Biosphere Reserve, and in 2009 local government and residents brought in a strict ban on plastic bags (vietnam.travel). The operator pairs the speedboat crossing with coral-reef snorkelling and a seafood lunch.
What it feels like: about 25 minutes of open sea by speedboat, then the snorkelling, the heart of the day; the tourism board says the islands have some of the healthiest coral reefs in the country. The islands are known for seafood such as stone crab, though the operator does not name the lunch menu. It is a boat day with a swim, not a hike.
Who this suits, and why: friends groups and couples who want snorkelling without a multi-day dive trip; families with children old enough to swim confidently in open water; anyone who wants a beach-and-reef day that isn't the crowded mainland coast. Vietnam's tourism board says rough seas make the islands very hard to reach in the October-to-February monsoon season, so travellers booking close to or within that window should confirm sailing conditions with their captain before paying.
