🌴 Weekend Trip To Cham Island from Da Nang 🏝 - Enjoying a Simple Life & Lobsters 🦞

A two-day weekend escape from Da Nang to Cham Island (Cu Lao Cham) offers a peaceful retreat from city life, combining diving, island exploration, and fresh seafood. The trip begins with a 250,000 VND shared taxi from Da Nang to the pier near Hoi An, followed by a 25-minute speedboat ride to the island. A diving tour with Cham Island Diving Center includes two dives at coral-rich sites, with lunch on a secluded beach; staying overnight is easily arranged with the tour operator. The homestay host provides dinner featuring grilled fish and squid. The island has two villages; the main Bai Lang has 2,000 residents and narrow streets without cars. Visitors can rent motorbikes to explore quiet beaches and local life. A memorable lunch at a family-run restaurant features freshly caught lobster (boiled for seven minutes) with lime and pepper sauce. The video highlights the simple, calm atmosphere and contrasts the island's lack of crowds with its pre-pandemic popularity.
