Your day starts with a hotel pick-up at 8:00 AM, where our friendly crew will meet you and transfer you to Sutera Marina Jetty. Once there, you’ll board the boat at 9:00 AM for a short safety briefing and an introduction to your snorkel guide, who will walk you through the day’s adventure. From the marina, it’s a quick 15–30 minute ride to the beautiful Tunku Abdul Rahman Marine Park.
Upon arrival at the first site, your RAID-certified snorkel guide will help you gear up and lead you on a guided snorkeling session along vibrant coral reefs. You’ll explore two different reef sites during the morning, with each session lasting up to an hour. If one location offers especially great conditions, your guide may opt for a longer single snorkel to make the most of it.
Around midday, we’ll head to one of the nearby islands for a relaxing lunch, surrounded by the sights and sounds of tropical island life. After lunch, you can join one more guided snorkel session at a fresh site or simply enjoy some beach time at your own pace. We’ll wrap up the day with a return transfer back to Sutera Marina Jetty between 2:00 and 2:30 PM, followed by a drop-off back at your hotel.
