Tunku Abdul Rahman Park

me and my husband booked onto this trip a bit last minute, just the day before. we had confirmation texts straight away, pick up times and reg details of the car that would be picking us up in the morning. it arrived a few mins early and we were driven to the nearby jetty where two guides were waiting for just two of us. we were issued life jackets and snorkels and after a 20 minute wait, we boarded our speed boat over to the first island, Manukan. it is absolutely stunning, white sand fringed by huge forest trees giving lots of shade, clear blue sea with an abundance of fish swimming around our feet. unfortunately there was also a lot of rubbish in the sea, plastic bottles and packaging everywhere, such a shame that people treat our beautiful planet like this, it’s a national park and we could see people collecting rubbish off the sand but not possible in the sea. we stayed for 3 hours and were bought lunch before going on to Sapi. Both beautiful islands and we had a lovely day.

In a group of about 20-30 people, only two of us were Japanese. Most of the participants were Chinese, and the tour was primarily conducted in Chinese. However, our guide made sure to explain things to us in English whenever necessary and constantly looked out for us. The high-speed cruise ship took a little over an hour to reach the island. It was incredibly fast and quite bumpy! 😂 But because the ship was so fast, we didn't even have time to get seasick, which was a plus, haha. The guides played music on board, making the travel time enjoyable. The island facilities were new and clean. Toilets, shower rooms, and even hair dryers were available, ensuring a comfortable stay. Before snorkeling, there was a safety briefing. For the two of us, a staff member provided a one-on-one explanation, showing us translated safety precautions in Japanese. They also checked repeatedly to ensure we understood everything, and we felt that safety was very well-considered. For snorkeling, the boat took us to two different spots. The ocean was truly beautiful and amazing! 🐠 The guides constantly checked on us, ensuring our safety while also making sure we had a great time. After returning to the island, a luxurious meal of crab, shrimp, and other dishes was prepared, and drinks were available freely 🦀🦐. Afterward, we had free time. We relaxed under a parasol on the beach. When it was time, we boarded the super-fast cruise ship again for the return journey. Since it was an early morning tour, we were quite tired by the time we headed back, but it was a fulfilling day nonetheless. My only regret is that I forgot to give a tip to our kind guide when we left. They were so helpful until the very end. Since about 90% of the participants are Chinese, Japanese participants might feel a little uneasy at first if they join alone. However, there were many guides and staff members who paid very close attention to us Japanese participants, so in the end, we had a wonderful time without any worries. The ocean was beautiful, snorkeling was fun, and the food was luxurious. Above all, the warm support from all the staff left a lasting impression. I highly recommend this tour to anyone who might be hesitant because of the small number of Japanese participants! 🌴🐠✨

মানুকান দ্বীপও খারাপ ছিল না, তবে আমি সত্যিই মামুটিক দ্বীপের সুপারিশ করব। আমি দুটি ট্যুর ব্যবহার করে গায়া, সাপি, মামুটিক এবং মানুকান দ্বীপ সবগুলোতে গিয়েছিলাম। মামুটিক দ্বীপ চারটি দ্বীপের মধ্যে সেরা ছিল। সেদিন আবহাওয়া ভালো ছিল বলে দারুণ লেগেছিল এমনটা নয়, বরং সেই দ্বীপে প্রবালগুলো এত সুন্দরভাবে সাজানো ছিল যে, অন্য তিনটি দ্বীপের মোট মাছের চেয়েও বেশি মাছ দেখেছি। আমি যেদিন গিয়েছিলাম সেদিন যদি পানি আরেকটু পরিষ্কার থাকত তাহলে ভালো হতো, তবুও এটি সত্যিই সুন্দর এবং দারুণ ছিল। গাইডও বন্ধুত্বপূর্ণ এবং খুব ভালো। আমি এটি অত্যন্ত সুপারিশ করছি।

It was great! I did free snorkeling and parasailing at Sapi Island, and I highly recommend visiting at least one island while you're here. It's absolutely fantastic once you get out into the open sea. It's a bit scary, but it feels amazing. Finding or meeting at the harbor can be a bit difficult, but you just need to go to the Sea Quest office at 8:30 AM! They open at 8:30 AM. The staff are also kind and great!

পার্টি বোটে আমাদের দারুণ মজা হয়েছিল! শুরু থেকে শেষ পর্যন্ত সবকিছুই ছিল অসাধারণ। কার্যকলাপগুলি সুসংগঠিত ছিল এবং মসৃণভাবে সম্পন্ন হয়েছিল, যা পুরো অভিজ্ঞতাটিকে আনন্দদায়ক এবং চাপমুক্ত করে তুলেছিল। ক্রু এবং আমাদের বোট গাইড অবিশ্বাস্যভাবে বন্ধুত্বপূর্ণ, সহায়ক ছিলেন এবং পুরো ভ্রমণ জুড়ে আমাদের খুব স্বাগত অনুভব করিয়েছিলেন। আমাদের বাচ্চারা সমস্ত কার্যকলাপ খুব পছন্দ করেছিল এবং একটি অবিস্মরণীয় সময় কাটিয়েছিল। এটি পুরো পরিবারের জন্য একটি চমৎকার অভিজ্ঞতা ছিল এবং আমরা একসাথে অনেক সুখের স্মৃতি তৈরি করেছি। যারা একটি মজাদার এবং আনন্দদায়ক দিনের অভিজ্ঞতা খুঁজছেন তাদের জন্য এটি অত্যন্ত সুপারিশ করা হয়। আমরা অবশ্যই এটি আবার করব!

It was nice that it wasn't crowded. There were many cheap options, but the reviews weren't good, so I carefully read the reviews and chose this one, and it was definitely a good choice. Our guide diligently found all the best spots for us, and I'm so grateful. We saw lobsters, Nemo, and more.

Overall, had a great day snorkeling at 3 different spots. Managed to see some nemo fishes!! Expect that there will be some wait time in the morning before getting onto the boats. But every other time when the boat picks us up after the snorkeling/diving sessions, it’s a very easy process to follow. We had Chong as our snorkeling guide who was very helpful to point out where certain fishes are so we were able to catch a glimpse of the sea creatures and enjoy our time more. The lunch provided was simple but pretty good — had the mushroom and chicken rice. I can’t remember the other driving guide and boat driver’s name but they were great too. Thank you to this team:)

Good quality! Introductory scuba diving is definitely worth a try! The equipment is basic, but has everything you need. Since I have 900 degrees of nearsightedness, the instructor later found a prescription mask for me. There were three other people from English-speaking countries that day, and although I was the only Chinese speaker in the group, they assigned a Chinese-speaking instructor just for me. It was a pretty great experience!

Frotndesk at magellan is great. I like the girl manage my check-in and check out. Swimming pool have 3 inclue the olympic size pool (magellan and marina golf), gym have jacuzzi and sauna, kiddies playground (marina golf) my husband and my two girls love it. The staff is great and very well manage me,my husband and our two girls needs. Not enough time to explore pan pacific hotel but in future plan. Sorry to say this, the receptionist at 5 sails restaurant i am very dissappointed during our breakfast. Not well manage in house guest instead i have to do all the work for the receptionist for what i have paid. I did not bring along my veluable belonging around the resort because i want to relax and stress free. Just keep it inside safety box. I have to go up and down (room <> 5 sails) a few time just to fullfilled the receptionist needs. Without the receptionist saying sorry and think of solution instead guest service staff to apologize on behalf of the receptionist. I don't like it.
