The moment I slipped into the turquoise waters surrounding Cham Island, I was mesmerized by the vibrant coral gardens beneath me. While the tour was well-organized, I found the group size a bit large for my liking, which made some moments less intimate.

I had a fantastic day exploring the stunning waters around Cham Island while snorkeling. The marine life was vibrant, and the guides were friendly and knowledgeable, which added to the experience. The boat ride from Hội An in Vietnam was enjoyable, although it could have been a bit smoother as I hit some waves. I appreciated the chance to relax on the beach after the snorkeling, soaking in the pristine views. My only complaint would be that lunch felt a bit rushed, but overall, it was a memorable adventure.

We spent an unforgettable day exploring stunning waters and vibrant marine life, making our snorkeling adventure the highlight of the trip. While the beauty of the island was captivating, the lunch options left a bit to be desired; we wished for something more authentic.
