A half-day escape from Hoi An that pairs a brisk speed-boat ride with snorkeling, beach time and a seafood lunch. Discover protected reefs, granite islets and island culture on a waterproof-ready day trip.
More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
The morning salt air pushes against the speed boat as Hoi An’s riverlines shrink behind you and a scatter of granite islands grows out of the South China Sea. Within half an hour the pale arc of Lang Beach appears—green palms, low cliffs, and water that shifts from turquoise to deep blue where the reef drops away. The tour moves at a calm, purposeful pace: short island stops, a snorkeling window over coral gardens, and a seafood lunch on shore.

If you’re sensitive to boat motion, take medication 30–60 minutes before departure and sit mid-boat where motion is least.
