How to travel to Cham Island?

You can move to the island by 3 types of vehicles. If you want to travel by canoe, it only takes about 20 minutes for a turn, if you have enough money and prefer a strong experience, choose a high speed canoe. Although the cost is quite high compared to other vehicles, but the feeling of floating in the sea with cano will not make you disappointed with the cost of 120,000 VND / pass. By wooden boat, this means fare cheaper than cano, about 200,000 – 250,000 VND/ round trip. For those who are seasick, do not choose wooden boat for wooden stunt and take more time (about 1 hour). This means less choice. Small boat is same as wooden boat, slower moving boat will take you about 1 and a half hour or more. In this way, you only pay 30,000 VND / way which is cheaper than many other means. The boat usually departs from 7:30 am to 8:30 am, depending on the boat’s departure.
