Cua Dai Tourist Harbour in Hoi An is the sole departure port for express passenger speedboats heading to the UNESCO-protected Cham Islands (Cu Lao Cham). Because most licensed speedboats depart strictly between 08:15 AM and 09:00 AM, pre-booking a direct private airport transfer ensures you catch your morning vessel without missing the tide.

The Gateway to UNESCO Cham Islands

Famous for pristine coral reef diving, white sandy coves, and wild seafood banquets, the Cham Islands (Cu Lao Cham) are situated 18 km off the Hoi An coastline. Because inland maritime regulations enforce strict departure windows between 08:15 AM and 09:00 AM, punctuality is paramount when flying into Da Nang.

Why a Direct Private Transfer Beats Random Taxis

  • Guaranteed Punctuality: Random street taxis queueing outside the airport often take slower inner-city routes or hesitate on highway tolls. Our chauffeurs take the express Vo Nguyen Giap coastal road directly to the dock.
  • Flight Delay Shield: When booking with Sun Travel, our operations desk tracks your flight in real time so your driver is already at the terminal curb when you exit.
  • Hassle-Free Same-Day Luggage Care: If you are visiting Cham Islands for a day trip before checking into your Hoi An resort, your heavy bags stay locked securely in our air-conditioned vehicle.
