Cham Island Tour From Da Nang (Group Tour)
Overview
Cham island is a group of seven islands off the shore of Da Nang – Hoi An. This archipelago boasts of its wealthy life under the sea, amazing rocky coastline studded with small white sandy beaches, and lush jungle. It’s just like a piece of heaven on earth. In 2005, Vietnam’s government declared it a nationally-important marine park and 4 years later, it became a world biosphere reserve of Unesco. In sunny months, a day trip is what most visitors choose because it covers most highlights of the park. If staying overnight in Da Nang, the bus will pick up at the hotel in the morning and drop off before it’s dark. Lunch includes seafood dishes, and some island specialty foods, such as banh it (a cake made of rice and ramie leaf).
*Tours can be cancelled due to bad weather
