We were really happy with our island hopping tour with Bryan! The whole experience was smooth and well-organized. Bryan was punctual, communicated clearly, and was warm and friendly throughout. He took us to all the spots we wanted to visit and everything went to plan. One of the highlights was the fishing - we actually caught some grouper and then got them steamed for lunch which was a nice bonus! The food provided at lunch was generous and delicious, and some of the dishes were refillable. Overall we thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. It was excellent value for money, and we’d definitely recommend it to others visiting! 😃

Had a truly wonderful time on the sunset cruise — easily one of the highlights of the trip! The panoramic ocean views were breathtaking, and watching the sun dip below the horizon was pure magic. 🌞 The cocktails were top-notch and added a perfect chill vibe to the evening. We also enjoyed the net jacuzzi, had a blast with the open sea jump, and the adrenaline rush on the Ferrari jet ski was unreal! 🏖️🚤 Highly recommended if you’re looking for a mix of relaxation, adventure, and stunning views. Would definitely do it again!

What a great place, you can touch the animals and you can touch them for a long time. You can buy feed on site for RM7, which contains feed vegetables to feed various animals. The marmots are very cute

For the money, a good excursion, everything is well organized, an hour on the beach, the beach is very beautiful with clear water, but we were unlucky, there was a lot of plankton. Beautiful eagle watching, and then an hour on the island with a lake and beautiful rocks, we liked it the most, swimming in the lake was great!

A chill and relaxing spot if you want to enjoy a bird’s eye view of the island. I’d definitely recommend it for the view alone, especially if you’re into sightseeing and taking photos from above. What’s cool is they also provide some refreshments up there — I got nasi lemak, kuih muih, drinks, and even some snacks. It’s a simple touch, but it really makes the whole experience feel more thoughtful and welcoming. The facilities are great too. At the base of the tower, there’s ZUS Coffee, Starbucks, and a few other shops, so you can chill before or after your visit. Surau and clean toilets are available as well, super convenient. Overall, I’d recommend visiting this tower. It’s not overly hyped, but it’s definitely worth a stop if you’re looking for a peaceful spot with a great view and chill vibes.
