Snorkeling tour of Cham Island, good time. - Join a snorkeling tour of Cham Island. There are only tours on the Web where the meeting place is inconvenient, and I asked the hotel concierge that there is a pick-up tour to the hotel (Da Nang). 800,000 VND In the morning, we met at 7:45 and arrived at 7:50 to pick up the bus. On the way, we stopped at a marble souvenir shop and traveled to the port. After a short wait at the port, we took a boat to the first island. Travel all day on this boat. A boat with a roof and no open feeling. I want an outdoor seat. Are you Chinese on the boat? The members of the family were happily talking in volume. On the first island, an aquarium? and Lucky Well. Have your Guide pour "lucky water" from the lucky well and move to the second island (the one with the snorkeling point). (Don't need this first one...) He said he would get off on the second island and change clothes. (I think he could do it on the boat, and I don't need this time because I already wear sea pans...) So you're Chinese. Two elderly women from the family do not arrive after the meeting time and wait a bit. We finally arrived at the snorkeling point. Snorkeling time of 1 hour. (Actually a bit shorter) Snorkeling is less transparent, less coral and less fish. Chinese ranting with many ships parked? It's like I swam away from my family. Also, there are a lot of boats coming and going near where you are swimming, the swimming area is small, and if you leave the boat a little bit, there is a lot of warning shouting. I've seen some scenes where I feel a little bit of danger, and it's kind of like winning the game. There are almost no instructions on how to use the mask/snorkel, it's good for people who are used to it, but it's hard to find a place to enter and it looks like a lot. The mask and snorkel were decent. Chinese. The team mask was like something a bitch would use. Finish at one point and return to the second island beach for lunch. It feels like regular home cooking. Perfect volume. The taste is reasonable. Mr. Lin, the Guide, and another Guide busily carried the meal. I personally enjoyed it while buying beer (25K VND, which seems to be the cheaper beer, not Tiger beer). There is less than an hour after the meal, and the plan seems to be to play on the beach, but because of the low transparency and strong sunshine, we don't swim and spend time in the shade. Then we went to the port via the first island. From the port, it was a smooth bus ride to the hotel, arriving just after 3pm. Other reviews include: Short snorkeling time, not being able to spend much time on the road, price, food, etc., are some of the low Ratings, but I don't think so. If you're looking for transparency or fish shadows, it's clear that you're not here in the world. If possible, I want it to be a safe snorkeling point that doesn't care about coming in or going out of the boat (but I guess it doesn't...) because it's a snorkeling tour. Is the score as low as the rest of the reviews? I thought so, but personally I enjoyed it to a certain extent and the Guide Lin was very good, so "4 points" Lin's explanation of the schedule was easy to understand, and I'm glad we talked carefully about important things many times. * Thank you, Lin.
