A day trip to Cham Islands from Hoi An includes a fast-boat ferry, a walk through the market town, and a snorkeling stop at a reef. The snorkeling spot visited had limited marine life and some coral, but the tour provider supplied upgraded masks on request. The tour cost 550,000 VND per person and included a seafood lunch. The trip was during a Vietnamese public holiday, making the island busier than on a previous visit. Accommodation is available on the island, with bonfire beach stays possible, though the return-day itinerary was emphasized. The video also mentions a rice-field cafe serving coconut coffee and a villa with a private pool in Hoi An for about 800,000 VND per night, though these are secondary to the central Cham Islands excursion. The creator promotes their English teaching program as a way to fund such weekend trips.
