TL;DR
A boat to the islands costs around 1.7 million VND for 4 people. Island tours to the southern islands are available through local agencies and include snorkeling, diving, and lunch.
A southern islands day tour booked through a local agency went smoothly — watermelon and bananas served on board. Snorkeling and diving were underwhelming with little to see underwater. Hon Tam island was a highlight. Lunch on the island was varied and tasty. The Vietnamese guide surprisingly brought bottles of rum — an unusual touch. The return boat ride turned into a sing-along.
An overnight island trip involved multiple transfers: mainland reception check-in, then a boat with luggage, then a tuk-tuk to the hotel, and another check-in. The boat fare for 4 people was 1.7 million VND. A quick meal at the hotel café cost around 1,500 RUB for two. The sea water was surprisingly cold.
