However, if you only go out for 1 day, come back from the morning, you do not need to rent a hotel. If you go out for about 2 days 1 night, you can choose the accommodation that according to the Cu Lao Cham travel experience guide, I summarize the following: Tam Hien Hostel (0120 618 3516), Bich Van Hostel (0169 500 7779), Thu Trang motel (098 523 7941), … You should call first to ask if the room is available, as well as to know price information, location.

For the first time here, I was really impressed by the green beaches, clear water and the gentle and innocent of the local people. Especially on the island there seems to be no silhouette of very clean, plastic bags. I also like the feeling of “gliding on the waves”, admiring the immense sea and sky and immersing in the fresh, cool breeze when going canoeing to the island.
The great beauty of Bai Chong | Compared to other beaches, Bai Chong is much more beautiful than Bai OngOne more thing that is unique not only for me but almost everyone likes it is the lightness and peace when floating on a small boat running around the island. Or wandering on motorbikes to explore every corner of the island. This place will also give you the experience of diving and watching coral directly, exploring the vast oceanic world. Besides the rustic cuisine but delicious taste also makes me very satisfied and there are many more things that when traveling to Cu Lao Cham you will never forget.
Bai Ong Cu Lao Cham | At present, the Phao House at Bai Ong is damaged, so it is no longer as HOT as beforeI had a trip here, although I only went back during the day, but can say that the experience was quite complete? If you also want to try, please refer to my self-sufficient Cu Lao Cham travel experiences. Usually, people often combine the morning to Cu Lao Cham to return to Hoi An in the afternoon, or you go tour Da Nang , Hoi An … A few have more time, then choose to travel to Cu Lao Cham self-sufficient 2 days 1 night. But I advise you not to stay the night on the island because it is not really interesting.
Before going into learn about the experience of traveling or places of entertainment, sightseeing, activities on the island … you should consult in advance about choosing the right travel time as well as need to prepare. What’s for the trip.
As a believer who likes to travel to islands and has also visited many islands in Vietnam, I have experience that if you want to travel to Cu Lao Cham you must choose the right time. Accordingly, the period from March to September I find the most reasonable. Because this time is sunny, the weather is very warm, especially there is no rain, which is very convenient for visiting and participating in activities on the island.
The most ideal time is summer with beautiful sunshineThe sea surface is small, blue and the water is so clear that the bottom can be seen. You will be spoiled for fun from beach to beach, delight in swimming and immerse in the cool water. Moreover, the weather this season is also very convenient for traveling by canoe, taking pictures and especially ideal for diving and watching coral.
You should limit travel to Cu Lao Cham island from October to February. During this time, the climate in the Central region is quite bad, with heavy rain, rough seas and Cu Lao Cham are often isolated from the mainland. The weather is also cold, it is difficult to dive to see the coral and the sea is not clear and beautiful.
Tickets to visit Cu Lao ChamYou can also go to Cu Lao Cham in accordance with the annual festivals of the island such as:
This is a very important job. No matter where you go to Cu Lao Cham or wherever you go, if you have a thoughtful and decent preparation for everything, the trip will be “smooth sailing”. I have a specific schedule, thanks to that, I quickly select the necessary items, which are both complete and neat. Some “dishes” you need to have such as:
NOTE: Cu Lao Cham is striving to become a “no plastic bag” island. People note that they do not bring plastic bags to the island, but replace them with “eco bags”. If there are too many items, you can buy them at Cua Dai pier, they sell a lot!
+ Distance from Da Nang to Cu Lao Cham: Da Nang is about 42 km from Cu Lao Cham, including road and sea. Experience after going to Cu Lao Cham by myself, I estimated the distance to travel by road is 27 km to Cua Dai port and 15 km by sea.
Distance from Da Nang to Cua Dai port+ Distance from Hoi An to Cu Lao Cham: Although Cua Dai port is located in Hoi An, it takes about 8 km to move from Old town to the port. And plus 15 km of sea route, the total distance is also 23k m.
With my Cu Lao Cham tourism experience , whether you come from Da Nang or Hoi An or from another place, you still have to go to one of the two berths, An Hoi wharf or Cua Dai wharf, but often people go to Cua port. Greater than.
To move to Cua Dai port from Da Nang or Hoi An you can choose many different means. The road is beautiful, flat, so it is easy to move.
◊ GO TO TAXI: For me, the taxi is only for those with a little economy or going in a large group because the taxi price is quite expensive. In return, when choosing this method, you do not have to find the way, but it is quite comfortable and pleasant. Just go online to seach taxi in Da Nang or in Hoi An is out a series of car companies and phone numbers for you to contact.
Cua Dai port to Cu Lao Cham.◊ TOURIST CAR (GRAP): Choose a passenger car if you travel with a lot of people and know how to drive. This way is quite active in terms of time, also quite pleasant. Just like taxis, car rental is quite expensive!
◊ MOTORCYCLE: The youngest members who are fond of traveling, riding a motorbike is a good decision. By riding a motorbike, you have the freedom to admire the scenery, stop where you want, in general be proactive in terms of both time and schedule. It is important to save costs because the daily car rental is only 100,000 – 150,000 VND / day. only car.
After being at Cua Dai harbor, you can choose to go to Cano or market boat (wooden boat) to go to the island. As follows:
Cu Lao Cham tourism nowadays mainly moves by canoe to the island. The time from Cua Dai Port by canoe only takes about 15 minutes, very fast and convenient. In general, those who often get drunk but are also more assured because they have not reached their destination in time. Canoeing loves, being “flying” on the ocean waves, being immersed in nature …
Traveling by Cano to Cu Lao Cham Island is the best form you should chooseDeparture time of the most crowded canoes is usually from 8am to 9am because this time there are many tourists, and it is easy to join the group. After 9am, few people went, it was difficult for canoes to run. If you plan to go to Cu Lao Cham in the afternoon, you should consider it. Or if I intend to rent a private canoe, I think it is not necessary. Because the cost is quite high compared to joining groups or renting separately, it takes 20-30 people to save.
NOTE : The most difficult thing is the issue of canoe tickets. Sometimes we still have to return because we have no tickets or have to wait until noon. It is best when you do not have muchexperience in Cu Lao Cham, just book a tour, which is fast and convenient and I think it is sometimes cheaper than going on your own.
Tourists go canoe to Cu Lao Cham islandIf you take a round trip ticket to Cu Lao Cham, which canoe go back to that boat (remember to keep the phone number of the canoe), and if you go one way (usually out there for 1 night), remember the time to travel to the mainland the most crowded is around 1am – 2pm, because at that time the tour groups also come back. But not all trains can go because there are enough people that they will not load more people. Ideally, you should ask the people, ask the motel owner to stay for their help.
Buy canoe tickets, you just go straight to the station, there are many ticket companies there. Ticket price is about 400k / 2-way, going on the same day including ticket price to the island. If you go one way, about VND 250,000 / way to go, and back about VND 200,000 / way. Note that in peak days, you should not risk yourself traveling Cu Lao Cham. Because it is easy to “burn” canoe tickets because the travel companies have bought them all.
In the past, wooden ships were the main means of transportation, also used to transport goods from the mainland to the island and from the island to the mainland. If you choose a market train you will save a lot of costs (ticket price is only 80k / person, if you bring a motorbike is 100k), especially bring a motorbike to the island. However, the boat goes slowly, about 3 hours, very susceptible to seasickness.
Wooden ships are cheap but take a long time.You must pay close attention to the departure time to go on time, as there is only 1 departure and 1 trip per day. Departure time from Hoi An wharf is 7:30, from Cua Dai wharf is 8:30. When you return, you should ask the boat owner first, or ask for a phone number for convenience. A bit inconvenient and a bit confusing, right? If so, you can choose the most reasonable travel plan you recommend below, you will not have to worry about anything, but calculate the price is even cheaper than self-sufficient.
I share with you this migration plan because recently, I have directly experienced it myself. The tour of Cu Lao Cham during the day has many advantages that you should consider.
◊ ABOUT EVENT: Needless to say, the tour has a shuttle bus, a detailed guide guide, arrange everything, you just need to follow their instructions. The tour also includes a lunch at the most beautiful 4-star restaurant on the island with local specialties and delectable seafood.
Touring is quite economical and convenient◊ ON PRICE: Only 420k / person, the price must be said is too cheap for a whole day of package experience. It will save a lot more than being self-sufficient. Renting a car to move, buying canoe tickets, sightseeing, eating and diving can be up to 1 million VND / person.
You can refer to the tour price list of the tour company you went below. Per the feeling, the quality of the tour is guaranteed, the price is reasonable. I put the specific schedule at the end of the article.
NOTE : It is advisable to take pictures of the Tour Table for your convenience during the travel days in Da Nang. And only book 1 day in advance – Remember to pay for the tour at the end of the tour.
In this article, I will guide you in the morning to Cu Lao Cham, to return to Hoi An in the afternoon to visit fully and reasonably. With my travel experience in Cu Lao Cham and from friends, I guarantee that you will have a fun and economical trip, especially without being exhausted from racing.

However, due to the undeveloped physical conditions on the island, apart from a few motels, the main form of accommodation here is still a homestay.
I did not stay, but read the reviews of previous people that Uncle Long’s Hai Long homestay in Huong beach was highly appreciated. The uncle is enthusiastic, the room is very clean, the price is also cheap, about 150k – 200k / room / 2 people.
