Mengalum Island Day Tour With Massage Experience

The pick-up and drop-off part is really great, the whole itinerary is arranged just right, and the snorkeling time is not too long. Huantan Island is really worth going up!

Overall, I am satisfied. It was fun and not boring because of the staff's fun events while moving on the boat for over an hour. Although it was slightly delayed due to sudden heavy rain, the snorkeling was also good because the sea was very clean. When I made the reservation, I was looking forward to enjoying SUP on the island, but I was very disappointed because there was no fin, which is an important function of the SUP board. They were all removed, and when I asked the staff, they said they couldn't find it. So I rode the board without fins, and it was very difficult because I couldn't find the direction. And I think the kayak boat needs maintenance. The screws on the guide, etc. were loose, so it was shaking. Other than that, I am satisfied with everything.

If you're looking for a snorkelling experience to get close to nature and learn Sabahan culture, look elsewhere. This experience is catered - almost exclusively - to China tourists. Requested for an English speaking tour? Sure, but your guide will speak exclusively Mandarin to cater to the majority of Mandarin-speaking tourists. The experience sets up like a tourist trap, where they have artificial photo taking spots, encourage feeding of white bread to attract fish while snorkeling, have foam parties at the beach etc. Just hoping that the companies organising these trips put some thought into the long-term sustainability of it. With hoards of tourists spamming different sunblocks and makeup onsite, corals and sealife in the area will be bleached soon enough. Should consider regulating sea-safe sunblock. That aside, the snorkeling itself (with faulty snorkel) still allows you to see a variety of aquatic animals, but it is only 45mins of the 4+hrs you spend there.
