5.00We had a guided trip for a day and visited several sites - left Gaya Island Resort at 09:00 and returned at about 3pm. Didi was our guide and Azmi was our boat captain. They gave us a great day and found us sites with good visibilty in spite of the heavy rain and many landslides that had occurred in the prior 2 days. We saw multiple turtles - green and hawksbill and a whole array of other interesting corals and creatures! Thanks to Didi and Azmi - you gave us a great experience.
Good experience overall

4.00Alex was a great guide - keeping tabs on us while we were in the water, pointing out interesting fish and other aquatic life. He was knowledgeable and engaging. Our captain Azmi was always aware and was responsive when when we decided to come back to the boat early on the last snorkel. Unfortunately there is a lot of coral bleaching so don't expect to see a ton of live coral.
A great snorkel tour and food - small boat

5.00This is the BEST snorkelling trip with so much coral, fish and even a turtle or two. There is alot of swimming as guides drop u in open water and navigate the sea efficiently. There was not enough seating on the boat as diving equipment used most of the space so ended up in a sun drenched seat and extremely burnt. 😕😕😕
A memorable experience
