Mabul Island snorkeling

the best diving experience ever in Malaysia, everything under water is fascinating. all people is niceful and friendly!

great service by the operator. they are able to provide based on your needs. nice simple buffet lunch. included bottled drinks. free pick up was provided from our hotel nearby which i believe is because we have senior citizens in the group.

Breathtaking scenery! Wonder tour guide team. They were professional and thoughtful. They took safety seriously and even offered personal assistance during snorkeling to my wife who was not an expert swimmer. I also appreciated the environmental sensitivity by bringing washable lunch container instead of disposable ones. I loved everything about the trip even though the rain prevented us from climbing Bohey Dulang.

It was accidental that I discovered this Discover Scuba Diving tour even though I had been to the 3 islands the day before on a snorkeling trip but it provided a totally new and incredible experience for a non-scuba diver like myself. It was all because of this amazing 1-to-1 instructor (Azriel, from Island Adventure), his team of professional photographers and support staffs. I thank you.

Top services and Experiences Dive Master! Recommended dive site from the DM and we had a blast. Safety is number 1 !

Highly recommend. The snorkeling tour is very professional and nice.Firstly, we took a boat to Mengalum Island and enjoyed the beach there. About 11:00AM, we went to two beautiful snorkeling spots in total. There were all kinds of fish in both places, and we also saw starfish and octopuses🐙.After lunch, just enjoyed chill time on the beach🏖️. I had a very wonderful and memorable experience in Mengalum Island. Happy new year and all the best wishes to the one who is reading the review😬

Baoqing was truly our guide of the day. Although I’m a local and have joined multiple tour agencies to Mantanani Island and the Kawa-Kawa River, Baoqing stood out as an exceptional tour guide who showed me how much difference a good guide can make to a trip. He provided clear and detailed information from the beginning until the end, including estimated travel times to each destination, which is especially important for foreign tourists. What impressed me most was his attentiveness during the snorkelling session, where he took the initiative to ask who could and could not swim—something none of the other tour agencies I’ve experienced ever considered. The tour assistants were friendly, patient, and very considerate despite doing this work repeatedly, and their professionalism truly enhanced the overall experience. For firefly-watching tours, feel free to reach out—I’d be happy to help upgrade and enhance the tourist experience, as I studied firefly tourism during my master’s degree.

The tour was subcontracted to another company and it was a large group. The boat turned back to the jetty after leaving to pick up some passengers. You’ll need to pay RM 50 per person to enter the Mabul Water Bungalow, mainly for photo taking purposes. There was not much coral or fish while snorkeling at Mabul. You will not be able to go up to Kapalai as it is a private resort.
