Best! It was cheaper to buy tickets on Klook than to walk in, haha. Walk-in price was RM150, but booking on Klook got us RM135 for unlimited rides. The kids had a great time. The games were fun too, haha.

When we visited the place, only 6 of us book for a tour. The place was so quite n peaceful. We are so lucky to see the firefly with the bonus of seeing the monkey n a monitor lizard. We are also so lucky that 1 curious firefly went inside our boat n come close to us. Its a very nice experience for the younger generation to see the real firefly specially my son. He was so happy n we are so grateful. Our tour guide was so good and friendly. You will never get bored hearing all the information that she was telling to us. For me its worth a visit😊

Easy to find, and not much people at the top when I went in the evening. Staff was friendly. Quiet place to chill if you have nothing to do in JB, or want to see views from high level.

Enjoyed my 3D2N Beachfront Stay with family at Rawa Island Resort. Highly recommend booking this Full Board Package via Klook. Had fun learning how to scuba dive with Orcanation in this beautiful dive spot filled with colourful vibrant coral reefs and many types of sea creatures spotted. Very peaceful and relaxing getaway in this private island with soft white sandy beaches and crystal clear blue waters. Liked all the buffet meals which had a delicious variety of filling dishes. Accomodations were comfortable, clean, and convenient. There's many activities to do in the resort that keeps everyone entertained and happy.

This was an awesome option and we and our boys loved spending the day here. Note you must have grip socks and grip gloves. 7rm socks and 5rm gloves per person. we bought socks at Mr diy at 2rm per person and just shared some gloves instead and took turns. Great value from 10am till 10pm and you can come in and out as needed.
