Chan May Port to Hoi An Distance & Travel Time
Hoi An is approximately 80 km from Chan May Port, and the journey normally takes around 1.5 hours each way by private car. The actual travel time may vary depending on traffic, weather, road conditions, and the stops included in your itinerary.
As this is a full-day cruise excursion, the schedule needs to cover more than the drive itself. You will also need time to disembark from the ship, walk approximately 500 meters to the port gate, meet your driver and guide, and continue to Hoi An.
The return journey is planned around your cruise departure time. This leaves enough room for sightseeing in Hoi An while maintaining a reasonable buffer for traffic on the way back to Chan May Port.
How to Meet Your Driver at Chan May Port
Chan May Port is a working port area, so private vehicles cannot enter the restricted zone to collect cruise passengers directly from the ship. The meeting point for this tour is therefore at the port gate outside the restricted area.
After disembarking, please follow the designated route toward the port entrance. The walk from the cruise ship area to the meeting point is approximately 500 meters. Take your time leaving the ship and keep your phone available in case you need to contact our team.
Our driver and English-speaking tour guide will wait at the port gate with a welcome board displaying the lead passenger’s name. Once you reach the meeting point, they will greet your group, help with your luggage, and guide you to the waiting private vehicle.
If you have any difficulty finding the meeting point, our team can assist you by phone or WhatsApp. Providing your cruise name, arrival time, and lead passenger’s name when booking helps us coordinate the pickup more smoothly.
