Warm, welcoming and funny host. Amazing English and energy. Tour was well organised. We enjoyed visiting the main island and snorkeling. So much choice for lunch and we enjoyed relaxing at our own table. Great set up and photo opportunities. Smooth transfers. Highly recommend this tour. Thank you Duyen!
I have a pretty good time on this trip. The beach is very nice and we had a good amount of time enjoying the beach at our last stop. Our tour guide, Ms. Banana is super sweet and very funny. Being with her is part of our joy during the trip. The snorkeling is a good experience for my kids. We don’t see a lot of fishes though.
Duyen was the best guide we can wish for. Always smiling , always helpful . Top top notch 🙏
The beaches in Da Nang were the most beautiful in Vietnam. The water was clear and spectacular, we had a fantastic time just relaxing on the beach.
The trip was awesome. Miss Duyen was a very good tour guide. She was very friendly and helpful. If I do the tour again I only want Miss Duyen
Ms.Banana was so nice and helpfull! We enjoyd our stay on Cham Island. Thanks for the great time
Well worth the money, fast boat to the island. Some went snorkeling, but visibility was sketchy. We stayed and swam, enjoying a nearly vacant beach. Luch provided, which was more than we could eat (catered for gluten-free requirements). Walked through the interesting village, then boat trip back. Taken to dinner, which was Korean BBQ and really tasty.
We had a lovely time with Miss Banana and her team today. Everything was well organized and explained clearly. I had 2 kids with me and Miss Banana made sure we had the right tickets, right size vests, and snorkels. Food was good and we loved the relaxing time at the beach after snorkeling.
Tour was well organise, efficient and comms. Guide was super friendly, helpful and efficient, very good value for a family. The weather was poor went we went and we unprompted were offered a full refund. We went ahead anyway but as a result the sea was low viz so we weren't able to comment on the quality of the sea life on the snorkel but wasn't great on ten day we went
We booked many months ago based on the Tripadvisor’s reviews. I think that we made two different experience. The entire day was really touristic, nothing compare to the beautiful landscapes that Vietnam can offer. First, the tour was not around 6/8 Hours, as they told us, but it was around 3 or 4 hours that you spent on an Island with a lot of other tourists... a lot! NO SWIMMING, NO SNORKELLING. Second, since the time was really short, I didn’t understand the first stop: in an Island, doing and visiting nothing…just walking around wasting our time. Maybe it was just to grab money from the tourists? I don’t know… Then, they brought as to snorkel in a bay for 1 Hour….to be honest, it didn’t worth it. No reef, no fish, nothing! The tour doesn’t worth the money and it’s a waste of time. I would not recommend this experience.
It was a really lovely day, the whole itinerary was explained on WhatsApp the night before with the pick up times too. The tour guide was so fun & explained everything we were doing and seeing. When we arrived to the island with the residents we learned about their details from our guide Miss One! The snorkelling sight was so clear and amazing coral.
Thanks to the help of our tour guide, Miss Duyen, I had a wonderful experience enjoying snorkeling with a view of corals and colorful fish, great food, fun trip on the boat, etc. Thanks again "Miss Banana", lovely tour guide.
Lovely day in Cham island! We had an hour snorkelling and some time to relax on the beach. Thank you to Miss Banana and the team! The water is so clear and we saw some cool fish.
The tour guide was a delightful and helpful addition to a wonderful tour
I loved the organisation and the experience was really good. The food was also wideranged, what I liked. Miss Banana is a ray of sunshine and made the experience really memorable.
We had the best experience on our trip to Cham Island. Miss Banana was an amazing guide, so fun and informative! Will definitely be recommending!
We had such a great time on this snorkeling tour, and a big part of that was our guide, Banana (Miss Duyen). She was warm and welcoming from the very start, making sure everyone felt comfortable before we even got in the water, especially since a couple of us were a little nervous about snorkeling. What really made it special was that she stayed on the boat while we were out snorkeling and took photos of us in the water — such a thoughtful touch that we weren’t expecting. We ended up with some amazing shots of the whole group that we’ll treasure, instead of just having our own blurry underwater pics. She was attentive the whole trip, checking in on everyone and making sure we were safe and having fun. It’s clear she genuinely cares about giving people a good experience, not just going through the motions. Highly recommend this tour, and ask for Banana if you can — she made the day for us!
We had Lin as our wonderful guide for Cham island. He was incredibly kind, enthusiastic, and helpful. (And very organized!) We would happily book any of other activity with him as our guide! Watching the monkeys steal guest coconuts was a nice and funny surprise to our day too ☺️
All staff was great, punctual and our tour guide Oanh explained all the steps of the tour very clearly and enthusiastic. I will definitely book more tours with this company
Super visit with Lin, thanks !
We had a great time. Our guide Miss Duyin is amazing and really very funny. The tour is value for money.
Miss Duden was a very good guide, very energetic and happy.
We had a fantastic day out in the reef snorkelling. Even though the snorkelling was quite busy with a lot of people in the designated snorkelling area, it was still enjoyable. The communication, from booking to pick up was very easy and clear. We had a fantastic tour guide- Miss Banana was very professional and friendly. She communicated very well and made sure we were all well looked after. I wish all tour guides were like Miss Banana! She even returned a hat to my hotel when I accidentally left it on the bus! Thank you so much. I will specifically ask for Miss Banana for our next tour!
Lin, our tour guide was amazing! Good vibes only. He was so kind and patient. The food included in the tour was good and plentiful so make sure to include that in your booking. Depending on the season it could get quite busy, so beware. Overall great experience.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ We had a great experience on this tour. Our guide, Miss Duyen (Miss Banana), was absolutely amazing—friendly, professional, and very helpful throughout the day. She made the trip enjoyable and shared interesting information with us. Thank you for your excellent care! The only thing I wish was different is that there was a bit more free time at some of the stops. Everything felt a little rushed because there was so much to see. Overall, I highly recommend this tour, especially with Miss Duyen (Miss Banana) as the guide. Thank you for a wonderful day!
We had a wonderful morning and lunch out. Very well run, a great experience. However the tour guide took it to the next level - Miss Duden or affectionally as miss banana was full or interesting fact and fun jokes!!
Miss Banana was a fabulous tour guide today! Day boat tour out to Cham Island for snorkeling and lunch, she took such great care of us... 11/10 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
We enjoyed a nice day out on the boat and swimming. I think the time allotted for snorkeling and relaxing at the beach was adequate and allows you to enjoy the rest of the afternoon and evening back in the city. The water and boat ride can get a bit choppy so if you get seasick, I would have some Dramamine or whatever equivalent on hand. We had Ms. Duyen/Banana as our tour guide and she made sure we were all comfortable and knew what to expect/what was going on. When I was first reading reviews on the tour, some people mentioned that there is a bit of downtime waiting for tickets at the boat station. She had mentioned that to us beforehand so it didn’t come as a surprise, and in reality is was maybe 10-15 minutes but you can walk around. So a big thank you to her!
Fantastic experience, the Tour guide Ms. Oanh was friendly and took good care of the all of us. I highly recommend this operator Dacotours.
This is an honest review, hoping to assist others with their choice. Firstly our guide Miss Banana was excellant, The boat ride was rough and too crowded, I was squashed in the back and very uncomfortable. Snorkelling was average, no flippers just a snorkel and little fish to see. The lunch was beyond poor, food was on table on arrival and cold. Our family only ate the rice it’s not what we were expecting. The stop at lunch was too long. Overall I wouldn’t recommend this snorkelling trip.
Really good day out and the guide was funny caring with a big smile
Ms. Banana was incredible tour guide. So smiley and happy. We love her.
We had a fabulous time today with Miss Banana! It got off to a slow start but Miss Banana was such a great guide that we ended loving every minute of it. The snorkeling was fabulous but we went scuba diving with our kids & that was amazing experience for them! The food was excellent as was the whole experience! Thank you to everyone but especially to Miss Banana (btw who has a very good sense of humor 😀..)
Had an amazing tour with an even better guide, Miss Duyen (team banana) was so helpful and friendly all day! Everything went smoothly and would highly recommend!
Ms. BANANA was amazing! Very helpful and took care of my niece and nephew while I went snorkeling. Chum Island was gorgeous, corals was amazing, and the lunch was delicious
Our guide was the best part of our experience and we would book with her again and again. She was wonderful, funny, and knowledgeable! We had a great time and thought this was such a cool experience!
Banana was at communication and explaining to us what to expect. They were in time to pick me up. Clean, new van with air conditioner. Great boat ride, lots of good food. I great solo experience with Banana. Thank you so much for a wonderful excursion.
It's a large group experience as there are 30+ boats all following the same itinerary. That said, we enjoyed the snorkeling and the time on the less crowded beach after lunch.
Lovely trip to the cham islands and our tour guide Ms Banana was amazing
This tour was an opportunity to slow down and enjoy a swim and snorkel. There was a very brief visit to the Cham island village where we walked through a museum with bleached preserved marine life and a model of the island. There wasn’t enough time to look through the local shops as we went to the museum. In hindsight, we would’ve skipped the museum and looked through the shops instead. We then went to snorkel which was lovely on a hot day and the weather was perfect to see the marine life. After that we had lunch and time to swim at the beach or lie on hammocks. It would’ve been good if the free time was back at the main village to shop around. Our tour guide Sky told us of the history of the island which was very interesting. Sky was very helpful and made sure the group was together and safe.
Sky was an excellent guide. Very knowledgeable and his English is very good. I had a fantastic experience. Picked up from my hotel on time and dropped backed when he said we would be. Thanks Sky. Top job.
Ma. Diurno was very attentive throughout the whole day and made sure we were well taken care of. She is one of the few guides we have had who keeps checking to make sure that everyone stays with her so no one was left to catch up and we had two people on our group with mobility issues. It was a lovely day.
To start, if you don’t have Miss Banana you should probably call to get her as your guide! She was nothing short of excellent. She catered to everyone’s needs/wants to make sure we enjoyed the day. The entire trip was very well organized, everyone knew when and where to be and what was next! Islands and underwater life are beautiful.
Guide was with us all the time, punctual, showed well around hoi an.
Miss Banana made the experience very easy from start to finish, I would only do a tour like this for her again. The views were beautiful, but there was one stop for snorkelling with minimal fish etc to see. Lunch was good, the beach after was nice also. Would recommend the tour company, but the Cham Islands themselves is a one and done type of destination.
The tour was very fun and enjoyable, we were given enough time on the islands to explore for ourselves. Our tour guide (Miss Banana) was excellent and very sweet with a fun and friendly personality while still remaining professional. Would recommend.
We had a fantastic experience! Miss Banana was a wonderful guide, very friendly, knowledgeable, and well organized. The transfer was smooth, and we were picked up and dropped off exactly on time. The snorkeling was amazing, with lots of colorful fish, marine life, and coral reefs to see. The water was clean and clear, especially around the rocky areas. After the tour, we enjoyed a delicious meal and relaxed on a beautiful beach. Everything was well organized, and we had a fantastic experience. Highly recommended!
Miss Banana is an enthusiastic guide. Pick up in bus was on time. Information shared from start to finish was clear. The location where the snorkeling took place was bad. Surely there are areas where you actually can see fishes? The group in the shared boat from the other tour operator was so loud it ruined the experience for me.
It was great. Everything. The highlight of our journey in Danang
My wife and I had such a fun day exploring Cham island! Miss Banana was the best host/ guide!
