Chan May Port Guide & Shore Excursions
Your definitive guide to Chan May Port logistics, pier-side pickup, and bespoke private tours to Hue, Da Nang, and Hoi An with a 100% On-Time Return Guarantee.
Navigating Chan May Port & Pier-Side Gangway Pickup
Chan May is an active commercial and deep-water port where independent walking is strictly restricted. Understanding local logistics is key to a stress-free shore excursion to Hue, Da Nang, or Hoi An.
The Port Gate Distance Challenge
Most standard taxis and unauthorized drivers are forced to park outside the main port security gates—leaving guests with a long, exhausting walk just to meet their transport outside the industrial zone.
Direct Gangway Escort
With Saigon Shore Trips, your licensed private guide and vehicle are pre-cleared with port authorities, allowing for direct pier-side pickup right at the ship's gangway. No long walks, no queues, no stress.
100% Back-to-Ship Guarantee
Positioned strategically between Hue, Da Nang, and Hoi An, our team continuously monitors traffic, mountain pass conditions, and all-aboard times to ensure your guaranteed on-time return.

View Excursion DetailsEssential Tips for Cruise Guests Visiting Chan May Port
Make the most of your day ashore with practical insider insights regarding currency, dress codes, and port policies.
Currency & Payments
Vietnamese Dong (VND) is ideal for small street purchases, but US Dollars are widely accepted by tourist vendors. Ensure your USD bills are clean, crisp, and without tears or heavy marks. Major shops and restaurants also accept credit cards.
Dress Code & Etiquette
When visiting sacred temples, imperial tombs in Hue, or ancient pagodas across central Vietnam, shoulders and knees should be covered out of respect. Comfortable walking shoes and light, breathable fabrics are recommended for the tropical climate.
Visas & Port Security
Ensure your passport and cruise ID card are carried with you at all times when stepping off the ship. Most cruise passengers qualify for Vietnam e-visas or ship-sponsored transit arrangements—verify your documents prior to arrival.
