Udin was friendly, informative and so interesting. My wife and I thoroughly enjoyed the relaxing walk while learning about (and discovering) all sorts of tidal animals and plants.
Knowledgeable and patient guide. Staff very responsive to online queries.

Udin was an excellent tour guide. He arrived on time to pick us up from our hotel and was very patient and knowledgeable to answer all our questions and provide information about the marine creatures. He even threw in bonus information about other jungle creatures around and the history of how Desaru got her name. He knew where exactly to find all the marine creatures and even caught some in a net to show them to us up close. (Of course, he let them go right after that!) We were a family with young children and Udin did not once rush us along, even when our 2 year old was straddling behind. Booking our tickets was very easy (I found the cheapest rates on GetYourGuide. Children below 5 go for free). Staff were very responsive over email and Whatsapp. I'd recommend bringing a sun hat, sun screen, insect repellent, waterproof phone holder and covered sandals / water shoes. Water and ponchos were provided by the guide. You'll need to walk about 5 minutes from where the van parks to get to the beach. After that, expect sandy, muddy (biomass) and rocky terrain.
Lovely Tide Pool Creatures

Udin was a great tour guide! He ensured our safety and also made sure we see as many interesting sea creatures as possible. It’s very worth it and I would gladly go again another day haha.
Good experience

Really interesting look at a lot of creatures. I never would have imagined there was so much hiding among the rocks. Only suggestion I have is it would have been good to know we would walk through a forested area to get there, meaning a lot of mud and a lot of mosquitos. i would have liked to prepare for this.
Wonderful, fun and interesting!

Amazing guided tour. It was such a privilege to be shown the native sea life, with more context including geology and flora. We saw sea creatures on our bucket list and were also entertained by monkeys and bird life. I cannot recommend this tour enough, definitely a highlight of our visit to Malaysia. Thankyou!
Will totally recommend this

Amazing experience with Salam who was patient in sharing about the many questions we asked. He was able to spot various sea creatures for sharing and keep my 5 year old engaged. Suitable for young and old.

Our guide, Salam, was very hospitable and personable! Though we were half hour late for the tour, he was still accommodating and shared with us some facts about the sea. He is very friendly with kids too :) Thank you Salam! Hope to see you in Singapore. And wish you all the best! - Grace

Salam did a great job sharing with us about the different sea creatures and make the effort to constantly check in with us. Thank you Nurin for making the effort even though you are not well. Highly recommended for nature lovers.

Had a great time with Salam! He was very informative and provided a lot of fun facts about Desaru. We managed to spot lots of aquatic life during the low tide. I would definitely recommend bringing a sun hat or umbrella as the sun crept up pretty quickly. Also wear water shoes for the best experience.
