Passeios por Tunku Abdul Rahman Park

In a group of about 20-30 people, only two of us were Japanese. Most of the participants were Chinese, and the tour was basically conducted in Chinese, but the guide explained things to us in English each time and always looked out for us. The journey to the island was a little over an hour by high-speed cruise ship. It was incredibly fast and quite bumpy! 😂 But the ship was so fast that we didn't even have time to get seasick, haha. Onboard, the guides played music and livened things up, making the travel time enjoyable. The facilities on the island were new and clean. Toilets, shower rooms, and even hair dryers were fully equipped, making our stay comfortable. Before snorkeling, there was a safety briefing, and for the two of us, a staff member provided one-on-one explanations, showing us precautions translated into Japanese. They also checked each time to ensure we understood everything, and I felt that their attention to safety was very thorough. For snorkeling, we took a boat to two different spots. The sea was truly beautiful and wonderful! 🐠 The guide constantly checked on us, ensuring our safety while also making sure we had fun. After returning to the island, a luxurious meal of crab, shrimp, and other dishes was prepared, and we could enjoy drinks freely 🦀🦐 Afterward, we had free time. We relaxed under a parasol on the beach. When it was time, we boarded that super-fast cruise ship again for the return journey. Since it was an early morning tour, we were quite tired by the time we headed back, but it was a fulfilling day nonetheless. My only regret is that I forgot to give a tip to the guide who took such good care of us when we left. They were so kind to us until the very end. Since about 90% of the participants are Chinese, Japanese participants might initially feel a little uneasy if they join alone. However, there were many guides and staff members who paid very close attention to us Japanese participants, so in the end, we had a wonderful time without any worries. The sea was beautiful, snorkeling was fun, and the food was luxurious. Above all, the warm support from all the staff left a lasting impression. I highly recommend this tour to anyone who might be hesitant because of the small number of Japanese participants! 🌴🐠✨

Overall, had a great day snorkeling at 3 different spots. Managed to see some nemo fishes!! Expect that there will be some wait time in the morning before getting onto the boats. But every other time when the boat picks us up after the snorkeling/diving sessions, it’s a very easy process to follow. We had Chong as our snorkeling guide who was very helpful to point out where certain fishes are so we were able to catch a glimpse of the sea creatures and enjoy our time more. The lunch provided was simple but pretty good — had the mushroom and chicken rice. I can’t remember the other driving guide and boat driver’s name but they were great too. Thank you to this team:)
