Reviews
Super satisfied. It feels great to snorkel freely without a life jacket. 👏 The shallow guide helped me take a lot of videos and took me down to see nemo. The island is super pristine and very beautiful. There are a lot of mosquitoes on the hiking mountain. If you go, you must be prepared! The shallow guide does not go up the mountain, and there is a special pick-up. Personally, I feel that it is also very good to take pictures there without climbing the mountain or diving. The scenery seen on the mountain is not much different from the feeling of seeing it when the speedboat comes. Personally, I feel that except for hiking, everything else is superb! I like my shallow guide so much that he can provide emotional value! Because I brought my mother with me, my mother can't swim, and I have to take care of my mother and help me take videos hahahaha. It's really hard. The underwater ecology is really good, there are live corals and various fish. I want to take a diving certificate next time. The shallow guide can speak Chinese, so you don't have to worry about communication problems.
The meeting point was at the office next to Dragon Inn entrance followed by obtaining the permits from the tourist jetty before starting the tour. You’ll need to pay RM 10 to enter Timba Timba Island. Lunch was provided together with bottled water. This trip was the best as you will be able to see plenty of corals and fish. The water is clear and we were lucky to spot a turtle during the snorkeling session.
This package was run by Borneo Climb & Dive. The meeting point was at the office next to Dragon Inn entrance. After that, the guide will need to get the permit from the tourist jetty before starting the tour. There are toilets after the registration counter before the hike up to Bohey Dulang. Covered shoes with good grip are recommended as the trail is slippery. Lunch box with rice and few dishes was provided together with bottled water. We were lucky to spot a sting ray during the snorkeling session.
Beautiful day! All very well organized with a good lunch too. The guys who acted as guides were good and well-prepared but above all friendly and available for every request. Nothing to say about the itinerary, it's a paradise, it just leaves a bad taste in your mouth seeing rubbish in the sea and on some beaches.
The snorkeling activity was incredible. The coral reef leaves you speechless. The view from the top is among the best things I have seen in my life. Thank you for letting me have these wonderful memories. Highly recommended
A well planned trip and i was well taken care of. Safety measures were in place. The boat looked decent. The staff were friendly and skillful. The wait in the morning was a bit longer than expected probably because they needed to pick up people at different jetties but all were probably given the same pick up time. This could be better managed. Lunch was included and I personally think it was nice and much appreciated. The hike took about one hour on mountainous roads and turned out to be a good sweaty workout which was worthwhile when a picturesque view came into our eyes. There were three snorkelling sessions. Snorkelling equipment was provided. The corals and ocean creatures were beautiful under the clear water.
Perfect Day, perfect weather even in october. a bit hot but views was good.. and the snorkeling was crazy because one of the crew members was a heavily talented underwater photographer and he was working very very hard.. staying underwater for long minutes to take everyone's videos
There is a shuttle bus to the meeting point in the morning. It is highly recommended to climb the mountain. Although it is a bit tiring and dangerous, the scenery is super beautiful. People who do not climb mountains can only take pictures at the pier and wait for us to come down for about 2 hours, and then go to Battleship Island ( You can’t go to the island) dining + snorkeling at sea. Finally, Sibuan Island is also super beautiful. The water is so clear that you can see starfish 2 to 3 meters below.
Not easy climb up bohey dulang, guides there very patient and encouraging to motivate u to continue to climb up and down at yr own pace. Great view up there, must go. Snokerling sites not bad. Wish the guide and boatmen can alert us on the photo taking points in sibuan as we were unaware and missed the great pics opportunities. Snorkeling mask inclusive
The weather wasn't great today, so I didn't take many pictures, but the instructor was fantastic and provided attentive guidance throughout. Riri was a great help to me, ensuring the entire trip went smoothly. Thank you! Timba Timba Island was the best spot for snorkeling, I saw so many sea turtles.
