Great value for money, a load of exploring the islands and the coasts. The guides and captain were incredibly helpful at pointing out animals both in and out of the sea.

Full description

Spend the day snorkelling at Tunku Abdul Rahman Marine Park, part of the Coral Triangle of Sabah in the South China Sea. Recognised as having the greatest biodiversity of any water in the world, the Coral Triangle offers a vast range of marine life, including many colourful reef fish.

You will sail by a fully equipped catamaran to the islands of Tunku Abdul Rahman, where you will take two different guided snorkelling adventures around the coral gardens. An a la carte lunch will be served during the day at an island café, while refreshments will be available throughout the well-equipped catamaran.

The exact snorkel locations will be selected on the day of your tour, depending on sea conditions as well as your level of experience. For more confident snorkelers, a trip to a remote coral reef will be organized, where you can snorkel directly off the boat.

Less experienced snorkelers can relax with the help of a professional dive guide, who will snorkel with you from tranquil beaches and help you spot and identify diverse marine life. See if you can spot an elusive green or hawksbill turtle. And look out for the shy clownfish, fondly known as "Nemo!"
