Čo robiť v Tunku Abdul Rahman Park

me and my husband booked onto this trip a bit last minute, just the day before. we had confirmation texts straight away, pick up times and reg details of the car that would be picking us up in the morning. it arrived a few mins early and we were driven to the nearby jetty where two guides were waiting for just two of us. we were issued life jackets and snorkels and after a 20 minute wait, we boarded our speed boat over to the first island, Manukan. it is absolutely stunning, white sand fringed by huge forest trees giving lots of shade, clear blue sea with an abundance of fish swimming around our feet. unfortunately there was also a lot of rubbish in the sea, plastic bottles and packaging everywhere, such a shame that people treat our beautiful planet like this, it’s a national park and we could see people collecting rubbish off the sand but not possible in the sea. we stayed for 3 hours and were bought lunch before going on to Sapi. Both beautiful islands and we had a lovely day.

In a group of about 20-30 people, only two of us were Japanese. Most of the participants were Chinese, and the tour was primarily conducted in Chinese. However, our guide made sure to explain things to us in English whenever necessary and constantly looked out for us. The high-speed cruise ship took a little over an hour to reach the island. It was incredibly fast and quite bumpy! 😂 But because the ship was so fast, we didn't even have time to get seasick, which was a plus, haha. The guides played music on board, making the travel time enjoyable. The island facilities were new and clean. Toilets, shower rooms, and even hair dryers were available, ensuring a comfortable stay. Before snorkeling, there was a safety briefing. For the two of us, a staff member provided a one-on-one explanation, showing us translated safety precautions in Japanese. They also checked repeatedly to ensure we understood everything, and we felt that safety was very well-considered. For snorkeling, the boat took us to two different spots. The ocean was truly beautiful and amazing! 🐠 The guides constantly checked on us, ensuring our safety while also making sure we had a great time. After returning to the island, a luxurious meal of crab, shrimp, and other dishes was prepared, and drinks were available freely 🦀🦐. Afterward, we had free time. We relaxed under a parasol on the beach. When it was time, we boarded the 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 our kind guide when we left. They were so helpful until the very end. Since about 90% of the participants are Chinese, Japanese participants might feel a little uneasy at first 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 ocean 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! 🌴🐠✨

Ostrov Manukan nebol zlý, ale ostrov Mamutik rozhodne odporúčam. Využil som dva zájazdy a navštívil som ostrovy Gaya, Sapi, Mamutik a Manukan. Ostrov Mamutik bol z týchto štyroch najlepší. Nebolo to len tým, že by v ten deň bolo skvelé počasie, ale na tom ostrove je zrejme lepšie vybudovaný koralový systém, pretože som tam videl viac rýb než na všetkých troch ostatných ostrovoch dohromady. Bolo by bývalo lepšie, keby bola voda v deň mojej návštevy o niečo istejšia, ale napriek tomu to bolo naozaj krásne a skvelé. Sprievodca bol milý a veľmi dobrý. Vrelo odporúčam.

Bolo to skvelé! Odporúčam ísť na ostrov a vyskúšať si šnorchlovanie a parasailing na ostrove Comino. Keď sa dostanete ďalej od pobrežia, je to naozaj fantastické. Je to trochu strašidelné, ale je to úžasný pocit. Nájsť miesto stretnutia v prístave je trochu ťažké, ale stačí ísť do kancelárie Seaquest o pol deviatej! Otvárajú o pol deviatej. Personál je tiež milý a priateľský!

It was such a wonderful experience! Our guide, Sui, was incredibly kind and helpful, which made us feel comfortable and well taken care of throughout the entire day. We truly enjoyed every moment. Thank you so much! I would definitely recommend this experience to everyone!

Na párty lodi sme si užili toľko zábavy! Všetko bolo úžasné od začiatku do konca. Aktivity boli dobre zorganizované a prebiehali hladko, vďaka čomu bol celý zážitok príjemný a bez stresu. Posádka a náš sprievodca na lodi boli neuveriteľne priateľskí, ochotní a počas celého výletu sme sa vďaka nim cítili veľmi vítaní. Naše deti si absolútne zamilovali všetky aktivity a prežili nezabudnuteľný čas. Bol to úžasný zážitok pre celú rodinu a spoločne sme si vytvorili toľko šťastných spomienok. Vrelo odporúčame každému, kto hľadá zábavný a príjemný deň. Určite by sme to urobili znova!

It was nice that it wasn't crowded. There were many cheap options, but the reviews weren't good, so I carefully read the reviews and chose this one, and it was definitely a good choice. Our guide diligently found all the best spots for us, and I'm so grateful. We saw lobsters, Nemo, and more.

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:)

Good quality! Introductory scuba diving is definitely worth a try! The equipment is basic, but has everything you need. Since I have 900 degrees of nearsightedness, the instructor later found a prescription mask for me. There were three other people from English-speaking countries that day, and although I was the only Chinese speaker in the group, they assigned a Chinese-speaking instructor just for me. It was a pretty great experience!
