How many trips are there by canoe to Cu Lao Cham now, and how much are the tickets?

Traveling by Canoe - Modern means of transportation to Cu Lao Cham today

Cu Lao Cham is an island located in Tan Hiep island commune, Hoi An city, Quang Nam province. Because it is separated from the mainland, to get here, visitors have to travel 2 stages. Go to Cua Dai port by means such as taxi, car, motorbike first, then from Cua Dai port take a canoe or wooden boat to the island.

Cua Dai Port where the canoe departs to Cu Lao Cham Island

In the past, when Cu Lao Cham was still wild, few people knew about it and tourism on the island was not yet developed. Wooden boats (market boats) were the main means of transporting necessities from the mainland to the island and vice versa, and were also the main form of transportation for people when going to and from the island.

Canoe is a modern means of transport and is chosen by many tourists today.

However, after being recognized by UNESCO as a World Biosphere Reserve, tourism services began to be invested in, Cu Lao Cham gradually "transformed" to become more developed, more crowded and attract more tourists. One of them, the transportation service was also upgraded, which is the high-speed canoe.

The invention of canoes has overcome the limitations of wooden boats in terms of speed, travel time, and seasickness, etc. In addition, canoes also give tourists the experience of speeding on strong waves. These are the reasons why most tourists now switch to canoes instead of wooden boats, even though the ticket price for wooden boats is much cheaper.

Canoe hours to Cu Lao Cham operate daily

Since the advent of canoes, wooden boats seem to be used only to transport food and provisions to serve the needs of the islanders. Most of the tourists are transported to the island by speedboat. This is understandable because this type of vehicle has so many advantages.

To meet the needs of sightseeing and exploring the “rough pearl” of Hoi An, every day, at Cua Dai port, there are dozens of canoes coming in and out of the port to transport passengers. However, the operating schedule of the canoes will also follow the fixed time frame of the port management board and the coast guard.

Canoes will depart from Cua Dai port at certain times.

However, depending on the actual situation, the departure time of the canoe to Cu Lao Cham may be late. During the peak tourist season, when there are many visitors, the canoe time is often delayed by about 30 minutes. That is, the latest trip is about 9:00 am and the afternoon trip returns around 2:30 pm, no later than that. But in general, this situation rarely happens.

In winter, most canoes will not operate because this is a general regulation to ensure the safety of residents and tourists. In winter, from October to December, it is rainy and windy, even stormy, the sea is rough, not suitable for exploring the island, so there is no time frame for canoes to depart.
