The Sea Walk Is Out of This World!!!
This tour was one of the best snorkeling experiences I’ve had. The guide Hera was so sweet, attentive and kind. The sea walk is the best under water experience I’ve ever had!!

Wonderful, unique experience
Tour was wonderful. The underwater walking was very well organised, and as someone who was very nervous about it, I found it very easy.
via Tripadvisor
Cool experience
Going on a weekday is key. There was just about the right amount of people. The visibility in the water was not the best, and the time walking under water was a bit short. Other than that, a great experience!
via Tripadvisor
Amazing underwater walking and snorkelling experience
The underwater walk was so good and to have a tour guide that speaks really good English is such a bonus - 100% would recommend for couples, friends, solo, or family.
Response from the operator: Dear Ms/Mr, Thank you for sharing your sincere experience at Seatrek Vietnam. We're glad you enjoyed our experience and look forward to welcoming you back soon and creating even more wonderful memories together.

Full-day Cham Islands Cruise from Hoi An with Underwater Walking Excursion: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Hoi An.
How much does Full-day Cham Islands Cruise from Hoi An with Underwater Walking Excursion cost?
+
Prices start at $68 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Hoi An usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Full-day Cham Islands Cruise from Hoi An with Underwater Walking Excursion take?
+
Plan for about 7 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Hoi An is not rushed.
Is Full-day Cham Islands Cruise from Hoi An with Underwater Walking Excursion worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 63 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.3/5 across 56 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Hoi An, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Full-day Cham Islands Cruise from Hoi An with Underwater Walking Excursion?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Full-day Cham Islands Cruise from Hoi An with Underwater Walking Excursion suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 7-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Full-day Cham Islands Cruise from Hoi An with Underwater Walking Excursion?
+
Around 20 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Hoi An can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Hoi An and add a light layer if any part of the 7-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Full-day Cham Islands Cruise from Hoi An with Underwater Walking Excursion start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Hoi An within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Hoi An?
+
On Outty we rank every Hoi An experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Hoi An Ancient Town Walking Tour with a Local, Hai Van Pass Motorbike Private Tour with Mister T Easy Rider, Cooking Class Hoi An:Local Market, Basket Boat, Fishing & Cooking. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Hoi An?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Hoi An?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
