Sample itinerary

Day 1 - Kota Kinabalu/ Tunku Abdul Rahman Park (TARP)

After breakfast, pick up from hotel lobby and depart to jetty for a day in the sun!

Upon arrival at the jetty, hop on to the boat and you will be whisked off for a 20 minutes ride to the first snorkelling point at the cluster of Islands that make up Tunku Abdul Rahman Park.  Commence your Snorkelling boat session, accompanied by our experienced Dive Master.

Proceed to the next Snorkelling point, for a chance to spot more exotic sea life in the beautiful Marine park. Spend a designated time snorkeling.

All the fun and relaxation will work up an appetite. Upon completion of the second snorkelling session, transfer to one of the TARPs island for lunch. Thereafter, free and easy to relax on golden shores, bask in the sunshine to earn that suntan or explore the short forest trail on your own. If you haven’t got enough of the life in the deep blue sea, snorkel from the shores to say hello to the colorful parade of fishes that reign the underwater world.

In the mid afternoon, pack up and take the boat transfer back to mainland, and drop off back at the hotel.
