The boat was at full capacity and passengers had to squeeze into their seats, which was rather uncomfortable for a journey of about an hour. First stop was Pulau Mabul. All passengers were told get off the boat and explore the island. Once we got off the boat we were charged an entrance fee of RM50/person, which was not conveyed to us earlier. Overall the resort had well designed chalets and was beautifully landscaped. However the snorkelling here had much to shout about. Next stop Pulau Kapalai. Here we were not allowed on the island. However the snorkelling was superb. We saw live coral, large variety of fishes including nemos and turtles as well as. And the crew were excellent. They were very friendly, patient and caring especially towards the elderly and the weak/inexperienced or non swimmers.

Fast arrival, helpful and smooth transfer to airport making journey hassle free. Would recommend this!

Unfortunately, the hiking part of the tour was canceled due to the heavy rain the previous night. It was disappointing, but the decision was clearly made with everyone’s safety in mind, and no other groups were allowed to do the hike either. Even so, the team still made a short stop at the dock so we could take some photos, which was a nice touch. Most of the guests were Chinese, and we were the only two people from Europe, but the staff still explained most of the information in English and made sure we never felt excluded. We really appreciated their effort and hospitality. What could have been a disappointing day turned into an amazing snorkeling experience with several fantastic spots. The staff was incredibly kind, helpful, and knowledgeable throughout the entire tour. They genuinely cared about every guest and went above and beyond to make sure everyone still had a great exp
