A tale of 2 halves
andrew W,May 19, 2026
- Review from Viator
4.00I had in my head a speed boat was open and a bit of a treat, in actual fact it's a closed tender the kind you get on a cruise, ship to shore. First stop was Cham Island, the highlight of the walking tour was a look down a well, thankfully we didn't stay long. Second stop was a bit of snorkeling, was OK, but with 5 other boats and kids splashing there was not a lot to see. Finally the redemption, we stopped at a beach and we're given lunch, it was,a feast delicious fresh and local, no way you could eat all the food. Then we were entertained with wild monkeys who were very glad of the left over water melon. We relaxed by the sea on loungers ( 50 dong £1.40) and took in the glorious views, by far best part of the tour. Overall a tale of two halves, if not for a great lunch and beautiful beach, I would have rated 3 stars. Antonio the guide was very helpful.

Family Fun water day on stunning Cham Island
Gina D,Jun 18, 2025

4.00Stunning island, a lovely experience. Couple of areas to improve but did not detract from overall fantastic day. 1. Time waiting for other pick ups, 20 minutes is too long, uncertain if unorganised tourists or poor communication over pickup time, suspect former. 2. Poor communication when we got to wharf. Got thru to waiting area but not advised how long we would wait or where we wait. All worked out fine but a bit unsettling at time wondering if we had missed boat. Communication on all other trips with Viator have been exceptional and the communication on rest of this trip was excellent too.
Very normal, worth the boat

3.00A very normal excursion, nothing special so I recommend it that you can not do on your own. We would repeat it just for going to the island by speedboat, snorkeling does not look special fish and corals neither fu nor fa...
Not snorkeling trip at all

2.00Firstly, this is not a snorkelling trip. The snorkeling in total was maybe 30 minutes. The snorkeling equipment is unusable, broken and not safe. In addition, I do not believe is properly clean and disinfected between users. We spend more time on the crowded boat than snorkeling. Our guide was rude and unhelpful. The way people swim (snorkling or from the beach) amongst all these boats is very dangerous. The only positive part of the trip was the food that was good. I would not recommend the trip if you want to enjoy snorkeling.
Not worth it

2.00Best part was swimming in the water since not much to see. Tour had sitting and waiting a large part of the time that felt so wasteful and caused to arrive back over an hour late.
Don’t bother going

2.00Disinterested guide, snorkeling equipment was horrendous, holes in the snorkel, zip tied to masks as they handed them out, no flippers, cloudy water, coral and fish barely visible. The boat had no room to sit up on deck. We had a nice hour 1/2 on the beach. Would not recommend.
Don't use this tour operator

Nice beaches, lovely lunch & monkeys
Boda T,Feb 29, 2024

5.00The tour was fun, we got picked up on time & we enjoyed the islands and the beaches are charming! The lunch was good as well by the beach! The monkeys were lovely and just wanted to steal your food 😅 The only thing is that the boar is too small and the windows don’t open, I would really recommend that they make the windows open cause when it is not moving, people with breathing issues can have trouble, when the boat is moving, there is air coming through the door so it is fine Especially that the boat is for Vietnamese people so it is very small with very small seats. If you sit in the front, you are fine
