You step off the wooden boat and the ocean rearranges itself around you — a shoal of iridescent fish splitting like a practiced crowd, the current nudging your ankles as the coral garden waits below. This three-day loop pairs Hoi An’s low-slung streets with the marine clarity of Cu Lao Cham, offering a tactile contrast: lantern-lit alleys and a tactile encounter with reef life via a Sea Trek walking-underwater experience.

Bring reef-safe sunscreen
Cham Island’s reefs are fragile — use biodegradable sunscreen and reapply before boarding rather than in the water.
Wear reef shoes
Boat decks and intertidal zones are rocky; slip-resistant reef shoes protect feet during transfers and on the shore.
Hydrate and time your swims
Morning boat departures mean cooler water and better visibility — bring a refillable bottle and drink regularly between activities.
Pack a small dry bag
A lightweight dry bag keeps phone, documents and cash safe during the boat leg and beach time.
