Full description

This is a 6-hour experience from Hoi An, built around Speedboat. It is run by April Adventure Travel Co., LTD, an operator we book with directly rather than through a reseller, which is why we can hold your place with them before we treat your booking as final.

A private day with a driver-guide is the way to see the most of a Japanese city or region in one day, because it removes the transfers between sights that eat a third of the day on public transport. Prices are usually per vehicle for up to a set number of guests rather than per person, and cover the car, fuel, tolls and the guide; entrance fees and lunch are paid as you go unless the listing says otherwise. Japanese guides are licensed for the work and typically punctual to the minute. Give the operator your priorities, and expect them to reorder the day around opening hours and crowds; that is what you are paying for.

The price covers Hotel pick up & drop off in Hoi An City Center, Round-trip transportation by speedboat to Cham island, Snorkeling gear, Lunch and Tour guide. It does not cover Personal expenses, Additional costs outside the program and Travel insurance, so budget for those separately. Everything included is listed in full on this page; if something is not on that list, assume it is not in the price.

Hội An. We need at least one day's notice, and we confirm the date with April Adventure Travel Co., LTD before treating your booking as final. If they cannot take your date we tell you and refund you rather than leave you waiting.

Guida molto disponibile. Isola potrebbe essere davvero interessante se si avesse il tempo di visitarla bene, purtroppo organizzazione non buona dei tempi e gestione.

Die Abholung aus dem Hotel hat gut funktioniert, doch der Rest war nicht so berauschend. Alles ist auf die Minute durchgetaktet („3min hier Fotos machen, 10min Freizeit im Tempel… und weiter geht’s“) und man fühlte sich wie auf dem Laufband zum abarbeiten. Die „Schnorcheltour“ war auch kein großer Renner… Wasser milchig und Korallen, die eher tot aussahen, keine Fische und man bekommt Brillen mit MakeUp-Resten des Vorgängers. Das Boot um auf die Insel zu fahren wird bis aufs maximale vollgestopft. Wir, zu dritt, wurden in eine 25-Mann-Reisegruppe mit Vietnamesen gesteckt (die sich scheinbar al

Ich war fälschlicherweise von einem Schnorchelausflug ausgegangen. Dafür blieben gerade mal 40 Minuten. Die hoch angepriesene Ausüstung bestand aus Schnorchel und Brille. Für Flossen hat es nicht gereicht. Das Riff selbst war überraschend schön und voller blauer Seesterne und zitronengelber Fische! Auf der Insel haben wir uns einen Raum voller Gläser mit, von der Sonne ausgebleichten, Fischen angesehen. Um dann an den nächsten Ort verfrachtet zu werden. Der Teil der Gruppe, der gegen Aufpreis tauchen war, war schwer entteuscht. Mir wurde es als 10 Minütiger Ausflug beschrieben, bei welchem die

Comparing it with other island boat tours with snorkeling I’ve done I was not impressed. I felt like a sardine in a can. It was overcrowded with no place to relax if you needed a rest after snorkeling on the speedboat. The lunch was cold and unappetizing. The one redeeming factor was the guide, Miss Banana was great and of course the beauty of the place.

Attività molto piacevole e adatta a tutti, anche ai neonati. Isola con acque cristalline e piena di coralli e pesci tropicali.

Le moment préféré était le repas ainsi que le temps libre sur cette magnifique plage. En revanche le snorkeling n’était pas agréable.
